Carbon nanotube 1 Carbon nanotube Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Nanotubes have been constructed with [1] length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132‚000‚000:1‚ significantly larger than for any other material. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties‚ which are valuable for nanotechnology‚ electronics‚ optics and other fields of materials science and technology. In particular‚ owing to their extraordinary thermal conductivity

Continuum Percolation study of carbon nano tube composites via Size distribution effects. A.Afaghi ;S.Asiaei ;M.Baniasadi Mechanical engineering department;University of Tehran. The three-dimensional continuum percolation problem of hard-core and soft-core (permeable) objects was an area of active research in the 1980s[1]. Among the considered geometrical objects a very important category is the case of permeable sticks with the form of capped cylinders [2]. Advancements in capabilities of

one form. Carbon is one of the elements that contain many allotropes. Each allotrope of carbon has its own different properties. The allotropes of carbon are diamond‚ graphite‚ fullerenes‚ carbon nanotubes‚ carbon nanobuds‚ amorphous carbon‚ glassy carbon‚ lonsdaleite‚ and carbon nanofoam. Diamond is the best know allotrope of carbon. It is the hardest known natural mineral which makes it very rough. In the structure of the diamond‚ each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms and

Carbon fibre-reinforced carbon (aka carbon–carbon‚ abbreviated C/C) is a composite material consisting of carbon fibre reinforcement in a matrix of graphite. It was developed for the nose cones of intercontinental ballistic missiles‚ and is most widely known as the material for the nose cone and wing leading edges of the Space Shuttle orbiter. It has been used in the brake systems of Formula One racing cars since 1976; carbon–carbon brake discs and pads are a standard component of Formula One brake

Even for biomedical applications graphene can provide many breakthroughs‚ it can go inside a living organism without damaging the tissues since its made of carbon itself. For their work on graphene scientists from the university of Manchester were even awarded the Nobel prize in . Energy harvesting from graphene involves

Valence electrons: 4 Property: Non-metal Abundance:- Carbon is the 4th most abundant substance in universe and 15th most abundant substance in the earth’s crust. Compounds having carbon atoms among the components are known as carbon compounds. Previously‚ carbon compounds could only be obtained from a living source; hence they are also known as organic compounds. Bonding In Carbon:- The Covalent
