Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbonnanocomposites (CNCs) representsome of the most innovative materials in nanotechnology, finding applications in biomedical devices, aerospace, and environmental remediation. Recent developments have improved the synthesis of CNTs, including variants that are single walled (SWCNTs) and multiwalled (MWCNTs). This review discussed promising techniques like laser ablation, which improves the purity of CNT production, and new functionalization methods that maximize material performance. The mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability of CNTs and CNCs have all significantly improved because of these developments, making them extremely ideal for crucial applications, including improved structural materials in aircraft and cutting-edge components in medicinal devices. This article provides a thorough analysis of these advancements, discuss great progress that has been made in the synthesis of CNTs and CNCs by developing techniques; like chemical vapor deposition (CVD), laser ablation, and plasma-assisted techniques, and their effects on material properties. This review explores recent advances in CNTs and CNCs, highlighting key challenges and future research directions across various applications.
