Carbon nanotube - A review on Synthesis, Properties and plethora of applications in the field of biomedical science

Recent remarkable advances in the field of nanotechnology has been achieved in the last few years especially in the fabrication of sensors that have wide number of applications. Nanomaterials are the foundation of nanotechnology that are measured on nanoscale. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are tube-like materials that are made up of carbon with a diameter calculating on a nanometer scale. They are originated from graphite sheet and these graphite layers seems similar to a rolled up non-stop unbreakable hexagonal like mesh structure and the carbon molecules appears at the apexes of the hexagonal structures. Depending upon the number of carbon layers, carbon nanotubes can be single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs),…
