 WHAT IS
NANOTECHNOLOGY
Nano-technology is the precise and
controlled fabrication or assembly of
atoms and molecules at nanometer (10-
9
m) dimensions, into novel materials
and devices with unique properties.
 Electron transfer properties of
macro-sized & nano-sized particles
MATERIAL MACRO-SIZE NANO-SIZE

 PRECURSORS FOR CNT
SYNTHESIS
Carbon nano - materials are
synthesized from fossil fuels related
precursors e.g. acetylene, benzene,
xylene & also from graphite.

The latest trend is to use plant based

precursors
PREPARATION OF CNT

Carbonaceous material (precursor)

is heated to just below their boiling
point to generate vapor.
The vapor along with a carrier gas
( N2 or Ar) is sent to a furnace heated
at pyrolyzing temperature (650 –
10000C).
Pyrolyzed material is CNM; which is
further purified to remove graphitic
carbon.
