Graphene is the crystalline type of carbon that has two dimensional (2D) properties where it comprises a single layer of carbon particles organized in hexagonal cross-section. Graphite which is one of the allotropes of carbon is the softest material with is a very good lubricant and is the conductor of electricity. Because of its known unique property, it is being used as thermal insulation. This allotrope of carbon is the basic structure of other allotropes such as diamond, carbon nanotubes, graphite, fullerenes. Carbon Nanotube is the cylindrical form of the allotropes of carbon that has unusual thermal conductivity, mechanical and electrical properties and is valuable in the arenas of materials science, nanotechnology, electronics, and optics.
