Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes – One Of The Most Amazing Nanos!
Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes | Image Resource : i.istockimg.com Technology has not left any part of our lives untouched. At present, we have many technologies serving us in diverse ways thus, bringing comforts to our lives. These comforts have led to our increased dependence on these technologies. Nanotechnology is one amongst many other technologies striving for enhancing our comforts. Nanotechnology has endowed the world with many useful inventions, single walled carbon nanotubes being one of them. These nanotubes are basically cylindrical nanostructures made up of different forms of Carbon known as allotropes. These are hollow, and their cylindrical wall is made up of a single layer of Carbon atoms bonded together called Graphene. Various properties of these nanotubes are determined by the extent of rolling and the angle at which these are rolled. The lengths of these tubes extend up to millions of nanometers, but the diameters are restricted to mostly 1 nm. The
