Asian Network for Natural and Unnatural Materials, ANNUM7 2019 is being organized to give impetus to basic research and development in the field of chemical sciences. The conference will highlight cutting-edge advances in all the major disciplines of chemistry based on natural and unnatural materials. This three-day event will feature recent findings from leading experts from various disciplines such as Pharmaceutical chemistry, Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, Material science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Technology and Engineering. Various case studies/research reports of Asian countries and relevant theoretical issues for sustainable development of materials will be discussed. This international conference covers diverse fields of chemical sciences and will provide a global platform to discuss some thrust areas, such as Analytical, Environmental and Green Chemistry, Applied Chemistry, Biomaterials, Catalysis, Chemical Engineering, Inorganic Chemistry, Material Science and Technology, Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology, Natural Product Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Life Sciences, Organic Polymers, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Phytochemistry, Supramolecular Chemistry. It will bring together leading scientists and other allied professionals to discuss and present the latest important developments in chemical sciences in the form of lectures and posters. The conference will also provide a forum for in-depth assessment of the challenges involved in the dynamic and fast-moving fields of chemistry. In nutshell, the objective of the conference is two-fold: (i) to underscore the critical importance of chemistry’s use for in the field of sensing, catalysis, pharmacy and biological sciences; (ii) to develop a strategy for international co-operation in the field of Chemistry. These include the development of newly potential chemical systems based on natural and unnatural materials.

Abstract

Carbon nanotube is an allotrope of carbon with a nanostructure having length to diameter ratio greater than 10 6. The properties and characteristics of these carbon nanotubes are widely explored for its application in various fields. The surface modification of carbon nanotubes is a major issue for composite materials, moreover when reinforced with metal composites these mixtures have a significant potential due to their superior properties, such as high strength, light weight, low thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity. Carbon nanotubes and multi-layered graphene tend to agglomerate because of Van der Walls Force between the atoms. So, it is necessary to stabilize the carbon nanotubes in their discrete form. In this review article, we have discussed some techniques that are used to stabilize Carbon Nanotubes. This shall be utilised to achieve the highest possible enhancement in mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of nanocomposites based on Carbon Nanotubes.

Keywords: Carbon Nanotubes, Agglomeration, Stability
