Carbon Nanotubes and Operations

Carbon nanotubes have attracted great interest since their discovery due to their unique structural, electronic and mechanical properties. Berger (2021) defined carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as tubular molecules consisting of a coiled single layer of carbon atoms (graphene). Since they share graphene’s electrical properties as well as rare thermal and mechanical properties, they facilitate the development of new materials (Berger, 2021). Carbon nanotubes are advantageous in several ways. Its advantages include excellent thermal and chemical stability, higher tensile strength and perfect transport conductivity. Therefore, carbon nanotubes are suitable for almost any application that requires high strength, durability, electrical and thermal conductivity, and lightweight properties compared to traditional materials. Therefore, this article critically analyzes the impact of carbon nanotubes on business operations.

Impact of not adopting new technologies

There are several possible outcomes for a company to lose its competitive advantage due to carbon nanotubes. Increased company productivity as new technology introduced
