A Short Note on Nanotubes and Carbon Nanotubes
Author(s): Joner Peter*
Nanotubes are cylindrical structures made of carbon or other materials, with diameters in the nanometer range and lengths
that can range from a few nanometers to several centimeters. These structures have unique electronic, mechanical, and
thermal properties that make them of interest for various applications in fields such as electronics, materials science, and
biomedicine. Carbon nanotubes, in particular, have received significant attention due to their exceptional strength, stiffness,
and electrical conductivity. They have been investigated for use in applications such as energy storage, field emission devices,
and nanoelectronics. However, challenges in large-scale production, purification, and functionalization of carbon nanotubes
have limited their widespread use. In recent years, researchers have also explored the potential of other types of nanotubes,
