Abstract
The Automotive industry continues to be a budding and growing industry wherein
new and innovative ideas and technologies find very promising applications
periodically. This review paper to a great extent will look into the relevance of carbon
nanotubes as a way to improve the performance of “on the road” automobiles in the
field of fuel component systems particularly to get a better fuel efficiency. Further the
implementation of Carbon Nanotubes shall be dealt in depth with a focus on
automobile application. Furthermore, CNTs have been found to have exceptional
morphological properties and therefore are promising as reinforcement material in
the composite structures along with polymers for many automotive applications. This
could also become the basis for weight reduction. Needless to say, CNTs can be
utilised for the production of geometrical, irregular or complex shapes and designs
with fairly inexpensive and relatively abundant raw materials vis a vis the current
conventional processes of fabrication. Therefore cost effectiveness and productivity
could also be achieved in scale and scope.
