This document discusses several nanomaterials and their properties and uses. It describes graphene as a one atom thick layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice. It is the strongest, most conductive and flexible material. The document also covers carbon nanotubes, which are cylindrical tubes of carbon atoms that were discovered in 1991. They have excellent mechanical and thermal properties. Finally, it discusses smart fabrics that integrate digital electronics and conductive materials to create fabrics with responsive properties for uses in healthcare, fashion and transportation.
