| Summary: | Carbon nanotubes present an exciting area of research, with a large portion of current nanoscience
research involved in carbon nanotubes. Due to their impressive mechanical, electrical, and transport
properties, it is proposed for a variety of applications. An introduction of carbon nanotubes and their
physical and thermal properties are reviewed in this report. This report also summarises a few
properties of carbon nanotubes concluded from existing literature, namely, diffusivity of water,
density, and hydrogen bond dynamics of confined water. An overview of desalination and various
aspects of the Reverse Osmosis desalination process is provided. The limitations of current RO desalination processed are discussed and the possible application of Carbon nanotube in the desalination process is assessed. |
