Abstract

A substantial review is performed in this work about the development and design of Carbon Nanotubes/Titanium Oxide nanocompisites. The fundamental method of sol-gel synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes is also reported here. Single-Walled and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes are reviewed here. Finally, different applications for this nanocomposite are discussed.
