In the field of science new possibilities are seen with the help of the discovery of carbon nano tubes. It was discovered in the year 1991 and from that time onwards the applications of nano tubes have been on point. One can find interesting properties of mechanical, electronics and magnetic works. The structure of array that they possess is incredible.
 
In terms of conduction of heat and electricity, nano tubes have a better conductivity level. The enhancing of the polymers is done profoundly with the help of nano tubes only. There is an addition of anti-stacking packaging; this is done after the procedure. Thus the popularity of nano tubes in market is visible and it has huge amount of applications.
 

There are different shapes in which the nano tubes are available. They even have different structures and some have a different thickness altogether. The characteristics differ on the wrapping of the graphene sheet in order to form a nano tube.  It is vividly used as a metallic conductor or just as a semiconductor.
 
The structure of the nano tubes is single walled and the appearances of these walls are like a straw. The flexibility of the nano tubes is great because the vertically aligned carbon nano tubes have high strength and low weight. In place of metal wires they are sometimes used. It is extremely cost effective as an electrical conductive wire.

There is a great range of use of the nano tubes in the medical world. Certain types of cells are targeted with the help of carbon nano tubes that are attached to some drugs. It acts as a curing drug for cancer cells. The nano tubes provide with all sort of important applications.
