nanotüpleri

Nanotüpleri, often translated as nanotubes, are cylindrical molecules made of rolled-up sheets of single-layer carbon atoms called graphene. They have remarkable properties, including exceptional strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. There are two main types: single-walled nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWCNTs), which consist of multiple concentric tubes.

Their structure gives rise to unique electronic properties. Depending on how the graphene sheet is rolled, nanotubes can behave as conductors or semiconductors, making them highly attractive for electronic applications. Their high aspect ratio and strength also make them excellent reinforcing agents in composite materials, leading to lighter and stronger structures.

Research into nanotubes is extensive and spans various fields, including materials science, electronics, medicine, and energy. Potential applications range from advanced electronics and energy storage devices to drug delivery systems and novel sensors. Challenges remain in large-scale, cost-effective production and precise control over their properties for specific applications. Despite these challenges, nanotubes represent a significant area of nanotechnology with considerable promise.
