3 Reasons: Why to use Carbon Nano Tubes

Versatality:

Carbon Nano Tubes are very advanced and novel category of materials which are currently been used in majority of popular areas like engineering, defense, architecture, household and so on. There can be many reasons for anyone to choose Carbon nano tubes by replacing the existing materials for their specific applications, because nano tubes possesses some of the very peculiar properties which attracts people from a wide spectrum for various specified applications.

Biotechnology and Biomedical Applications:

Carbon nano tubes are very rapidly replacing the conventional materials being used in Bio medical applications as Carbon nano tubes are considered as one of the most investigated carbon allotropes. Nano tubes finds their applications in priority areas of Bio medical applications like tissue engineering, drugs, genetic theory, biological sensors etc. due to its unique and most suitable physio-chemical properties. The prime factor affecting the use of carbon nano tubes in medical applications is their toxicity properties which can harm bio cells and organisms but rigorous researches are being done to eliminate the toxic effect of nano tubes and in some of the cases this problem has been solved effectively and nano tubes are being used . Carbon nano tubes have their unique molecular structures which helps them to show some very good material, mechanical, electrical and optical properties. That’s why it find its application in all the priority areas of these fields and in direct or indirect form, all of these areas are related to bio-technology or Bio-medical field. Carbon nano tubes bsed drug delivery process is mainly  finding its application in the delivery system of anti-cancer drug. One major benefit of using nano tubes is that these can be easily combined  or loaded with other different bio-molecules and can be used for drug- delivery system for many other diseases.

Household Applications:

Carbon nano tubes are though very advanced and novel but also very common house hold material basically finds applications in modern kitchens, sports equipment etc.  Due to their excellent mechanical as well as electrical properties they are commonly used in many day to day life devices and applications. For examples Multi-walled carbon nano tubes due to their high current density carrying capacity are a very good substitutes of modern house hold light bulbs filaments, which is a very basic area of its application. Another best applications includes the compact water purifiers made up of carbon nano tubes for filtering of water can be said a pocket or portable water filters because due to their compactness, they can easily been carried with one place to another.

So, above are some of the very small or basic amount of applications of carbon nano tubes and a long list is available of their applications. Also, new areas of applications are being searched by the scientists and engineers from all fields. The popularity of carbon nano tubes and growth in its usage shows the potential of this novel materials and its dominance in future on the conventional materials.
