Carbon nano tubes assembly

Nano-photosynthesis can produce sugar and starch for food and further synthesis of cellulose can produce paper and wood to avoid clear-cutting forests. Carbon retrieved from the atmosphere and recycled from existing wastes by MNT will be used to make carbon nano-tubes, with superior properties to steel. Carbon will be the most common structural and functional element for a MNT-based civilization [32,33]. A carbon-based MNT material production model is conceptualized as in Fig. 9. If there is a specific need for metal, a nano-factory with trillions of nano-assemblers will synthesize steel, copper, and alloys in order to skip mining and refining [32,33]. Therefore, industrial wastewater, hazardous wastes and air pollution will all vanish.

The network can be considered as a new member in the family of nano-structured (terminology of authors) carbons. Its channel width is 1.5-2.0 nm, comparable to the width of single-wall carbon nanotubes, but instead of forming an assembly of freestanding tubes or bundle of tubes, the channels are embedded in a solid and are interconnected (the authors are essentially describing a microporous carbon). The network is of multiple interest (i) Its...
