CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF NANOTUBE’S INTERACTION WITH METAL CONDUCTORS

Nanotechnology grabs with rapid steps, but there are not a lot of voices asking questions about safety and about interaction with other systems and environment. This paper deal with nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS). Due to recent advances in nanotechnology, NEMS can be expected to play very important role in automobile industry (for example as sensors of acceleration), shipbuilding, marine transportation, medicine (for example in drag delivery, diagnostics, tissue regeneration, etc), space exploration, military, etc. NEMS can be consisted (either partly or totally) of carbon-based nanotubes (CNT). There are confusions about other areas of nanotechnology, such as molecular nanotechnology. What about compatibility between molecular and nanotubes technology? It is not very likely to obtain complex system based only on CNT. How CNT interacts with the environment is vital in future building of more complex systems and also in interaction between nanotechnological and “normal” parts of equipment or environment. This part is not well covered and researched. Since many objects and equipment consist of metal conductor, it is interesting to see what happens when metal is in the nanotube’s proximity. This paper describes such case.
