Abstract |
In the case of industrial applications of CNTs it is necessary to examine thoroughly in this respect every step of such involvement of CNTs starting from their manufacturing through their functionalization, incorporation into a matrix (e.g. polymer), checking relevant properties of final products, then methods of their administration and, finally, after the product death also their degradation. Despite a technical feasibility study of the scale up-grading a careful analysis of possible risks for human health and environment at each stage from manufacturing to the final product, recycling and/or destruction is indispensable. |
