Nanotubes are members of the fullerene structural family, which also includes the spherical buckyballs, and the ends of a nanotube may be capped with a hemisphere of the buckyball structure. Their name is derived from their long, hollow structure with the walls formed by one-atom-thick sheets of carbon, called graphene.

Application Nanoshel Nano-materials :

• CNTs have also been implemented in nano electromechanical systems, including mechanical memory elements
• CNTs have also been proposed as a possible gene delivery vehicle and for use in combination in radio frequency fields to destroy cancer cells
• First to put on the market was an electronic device that integrated carbon nanotubes on a silicon platform, in may 2005
• It was a hydrogen sensor
• Since then nanomix has been patenting many such sensor applications such as in the field of Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide, glucose, DNA detection etc.
• As a container for drug delivery: Because of the versatile structure of the CNT, it can be used for a variety of tasks in and around body.
• Often in the cancer related incidents, the CNT is often used as a container for transporting drugs into the body
• Here drugs can actually be placed inside the nanotubes or can be attached to the side or trailed behind
• Both of these methods are effective for the delivery and distribution of drug inside out of the body
• CNTs can be used as light emitting semiconductors
