Abstract

CARBON nanotubes (CNTs) demonstrate great promise in a variety of applications such as structural polymers, super capacitors, batteries, sensors, and shielding. This is due to their unique electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Governments and corporations worldwide are projected to generate a global CNT market exceeding $1.9 billion by 2010 [1]. Despite the desirable qualities commercially and in industry, little information exists on the environmental, health, and safety (EHS) effects of CNTs.
