Toxicological effects of carbon nanotubes in animals

Scientific Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Chemistry - Other grade: A course: Chemistry language: English abstract: Carbon nanotubes are a revolutionary discovery and new carbon structure and have recently had a surprising instant. Carbons nanotubes (CNT’s) were first discovered back in 1983 by Japanese physicists Unio Lijima since their discovery many scientists have worked together to unravel the secrets behinds his incredible carbon structure that seems never to stop surprising us with their versatility. Different structures of carbon nanotubes lead to different side effect to animals. The main reason of their toxicity is their properties; Single Walled Carbon nanotubes(SWCNT) and Multi Walled Carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are two many shape for this report due to wide range of usage. This report will be a review in toxicity of SWCNT MWCNT and their effects in animals
