Abstract
Firstly, the potential of carbon nanotubes as composite reinforcements has been studied through Raman analysis of an ideal double-walled nanotube system. Secondly, preliminary studies have shown that the potential health hazards from nanotube powders depends on the nanotubes' morphology, giving the possibility that the risks can be minimised through design.
