SEEING IS BELIEVING: VISUALIZING CARBON NANOSTRUCTURES & POTENTIAL GROWTH MECHANISM
Ringkasan Artikel
Carbon is one of the most abundant elements in the world, as
all of the living thing comprise of carbon. To date, various kind
of carbon allotropes has been discovered such as fullerene,
carbon nanotubes and graphene. These nanostructures have
open new path for development of high-performance devices
and as an additive/filler for properties enhancement due to their
unique properties in mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical and
bio-compatibility. Their potential to be produce from various kind
of carbon precursors such as agro-waste has gain researchers’
attention as Malaysia is blessed with plenty amount of those
resources. However, lack of understanding in how they actually
work hindered their potential for production and full utilization in
application.
