Kusukela ukutholwa kwe-carbon nanotubes eyodwa ebingelwa yi-carbon, isakhiwo sayo esiyingqayizivele, impahla yemishini, izakhiwo ze-physichicochemical, kanye nenani lesicelo esingahle libe khona emkhakheni wocwaningo lwesayensi kanye nobuchwepheshe bezimboni benze abantu bakhombisa intshiseko enkulu ngocwaningo lwe-carbon nanotubes. Yize ubuchwepheshe bokululwa kwe-carbon nanotubes eyodwa buthuthukisiwe kakhulu, ama-carbon nanotubes aqediwe asenenhlanganisela ye-carbon nanotubes yamadayimane ahlukahlukene, izakhiwo ezahlukahlukene, insimbi kanye no-semiconducting. Futhi ama-van der Waals abutho phakathi kwe-carbon nanotubes edonswa yi-carbon eyodwa yenza kube lula ukunqwabelana noma ukuheha, okuvimbela kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwe-carbon nanotubes.

Ukuze uxazulule inkinga yokuhlakazwa kwamakhasimende, iHongwe Nano ihlinzeka ngamakhasimende nge-Carbon Nanotube edwetshwe uketshezi lwamanzi wokuhlakazeka kwamanzi. Kuyinto elula kakhulu ukuthi amakhasimende afake isicelo ezinhlelweni ezisuselwa emanzini. Ingangezwa ngokwezidingo zabo.
