When it comes to the exploring of the seral characteristics of the Nano technology, one is left isawestruck by the ceaseless range of applications. The word Nano though stands to signify a minute entity; however its role should not be misinterpreted by its name.

The entire Nano technology has brought about a tremendous revolution in the avenue of biomedicine. Indeed there are a few fields left that have not been benefitted by the birth and development of Nano technology.

One of the eminent and remarkable members of the Nano pedigree is definitely thecarbon nanotubes. The advent or inception of these beneficial nanotubes can be credited to the scientist Lijima, who during his experiments on the structural and physical properties of graphene had made their discovery.

Usually these nanotubes can be broadly divided into the categories of single walled and multi walled. As the name implies, these two segments are discriminated on the grounds of structural differences. The Parchment model has been a strong illuminator in pointing out the structural discrepancies.

The presence of the double walls makes them susceptible to the usage in various avenues and dimensions. Indeed its chemical properties remain one of the strongest reasons that prompt them to be used in several genres. One of the common spheres where these double walled carbonnanotubes find applications are in the field of surgical accessories.

They are employed in this field to facilitate the process of fabrication. As these tools necessitate the presence of agents that hold a high strength of construction, nothing can articulate the mechanism of fabrication better than these doubly structured carbon nanotubes.

Almost all forms of the Nanotechnology have been in some way or the other proved beneficial in the role of cancer therapies. The double walled carbon nanotubes are also not an exception. The cancerous cells have witnessed remarkable healing percentages with the drug delivery and drug release roles played by these nanotubes.

With its vivid hosts of applications, these carbon nanotubes of double wall structure have also witnessed utility in other fields too. In the plastic technology, they perform the role of additives. These members of the Nano family bear the unique potentiality of enhancing the efficiency without altering or increasing its weight. This makes it a resourceful agent for application in the field of manufacturing sport goods and accessories.
