Fullerene Nanotube
Diamond Graphite
• Each form of carbon has its own unique
properties determined by the arrangement Zig-Zag
of atoms within it. CNTs exist in three
different forms. Even though the differences
are very small, they cause each one to have
its own unique properties.

• CNTs are extremely strong. A one
inch thick rope made up of CNTs is
100 times stronger than steel and is
1/6 times the weight of steel. Can
you imagine a building built with
ropes instead to steel or an
elephant on a platform supported
by CNT ropes.
• The strength and lightness of
carbon nanotubes make them
great materials for aerospace
industry
