Key Functions: Industrial / Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Tech, Energy & Fuel

CNFs are forms of carbon nanomaterials with diameters ranging from 5 to 100 nm and length from 5 to 100 μm. They have been synthesized through various methods such as chemical vapor deposition, electrospinning, templating, drawing, and phase separation. Catalytic chemical vapor deposition is considered the main commercial technique for the synthesis CNF as well as CNT. This technique produces CNFs known as VGCNF. CNFs are used in composite materials as a method of improving mechanical strength. In addition, they are used in photocatalytic, energy devices, filtration, sensors, tissue engineering, and drug delivery (Science Direct 2021).
