Overview
 Carbon nanotubes (CNTs; also known as buckytubes) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical
nanostructure. Nanotubes have been constructed with length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132,000,000:1, which
is significantly larger than any other material. These cylindrical carbon molecules have novel properties that
make them potentially useful in many applications in nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of
materials science, as well as potential uses in architectural fields. They exhibit extraordinary strength and
unique electrical properties, and are efficient thermal conductors.
 Nanotubes are members of the fullerene structural family, which also includes the spherical buckyballs. The
ends of a nanotube might be capped with a hemisphere of the buckyball structure. Nanotubes are
categorized as single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs)
 Basic type of carbon nanotubes are .. Single-walled, Multi-walled, Torus, Nanobud and Cup stacked
carbon nanotubes

Technology classification

 As shown in the above mind map Carbon Nanotube is further categorized into CNT Type, Dopant, Fabrication Method,
Uniformity, Bulk production, density, Properties, Conditions, Shape, Size, Top surface and Application.
 This is the broad level classification of Carbon Nanotube. We at IPCalculus drill down each level class into niche technology
areas. For example above mind map, we have categorize “CNT Type”, “Properties”, “Conditions” and “Application” into
the niche technology areas. Similarly we drill down other categories up to the last possible level.
 Our client-tailored report will help to identify competitors and track their IP activity even in to the niche segment of technology
areas.
