Abstract

Carbon Nanotube (CNTs) could cause inflammation respiratory and blood vessels in the human body. The limitation of arc discharge, laser ablation and CVD hinders the support of large scale demands for technology innovation and civilization-level engineering project,which also encourages and promotes the investment of research and commercial development. This paper discusses the discovered properties, recent application, and production of CNTs by collecting recent open literature. The high-performance machinal properties, electric conductivity, and thermal conductivity of CNTs with related application are experimented and explained. The current problems faced, including toxicity and mass production challenges, are stated, and how they reflect prospects and future directions of CNTs are pointed out in this paper. This study shows that mass demand created by pioneering and breaking construction can accelerate the process of material development.
