Contemporary and Looming Applications of Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

AbstractMolding the future with the use of new technology is utmost important for the progress of human race. Nanotechnologies are the emerging field. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the widely known substances used mostly in all types of the application such as catalysts, absorbents for water treatment, photocatalysis. Various methods of synthesis of CNTs are known, but in this paper, as a case study, green process synthesis has been discussed in CNTs. Different six stages in the life cycle of CNTs have been discussed in the paper that relates to different risk factors in the field. Synchronization of science and technology is important for usage of the materials. This paper provides more brief holistic view of the state of the CNTs at various fields. The attention of this study is also on the toxicity, bioaccumulation, and safety concerns as well as the remedial capabilities
