Abstract
Nanostructural materials have wide classification of structures based on their fabrication methods. Fullerenes are close-caged molecules containing only hexagonal and pentagonal interatomic bonding networks. Carbon nanotubes are large, linear fullerenes with aspect ratios as large as 103–105. Nanotubes as many derivatives like nanocones, nanosprings, etc. The chapter detailed about different nanostructures and its properties.
