Nano Carbon Materials

Nano carbons are among the most promising materials developed last years. Nano carbon materials include fullerenes, carbon nanotubes (CNT), carbon nanofibers (CNF), nano diamond, onions and various hybrid forms and 3D structures based on these. Several years ago these materials were available in milligram-scale quantities. Now many of them are produced by tones per year. Nano carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes (CNT's) and Graphene have many extraordinary properties, such as a factor of 1000 times higher mobility and 10 times larger saturation velocity than Si.
