Abstract

The Synthesis of carbon nanotube remains a most research materials due to its superior properties such as a wide band gap, high electrical conductivity and high tensile strength. The common synthesizing methods including the arc method, laser method and chemical vapour deposition method. Recently, the continuous synthesis of carbon nanotubes has been a hot topic due to the ability to grow a large scale with effectively .This review represents different methods of large scale continuous production of carbon nanotubes.
