Sažetak
Nanotechnology grabs with rapid steps, but there are not a lot of voices asking questions about safety and about interaction with other systems and environment. Due to recent advances in nanotechnology, NEMS can be expected to play very important role in industry, construction, shipbuilding, transportation, medicine, space exploration, military, etc. NEMS can be consisted (either partly or totally) of carbon-based nanotubes (CNT). How CNT interacts with the environment is vital in future building of more complex systems and also in interaction between nanotechnological and “ normal” parts of equipment or environment. This part is not well covered and researched. Since many objects and equipment consist of metal conductor, it is interesting to see what happens when metal is in the nanotube’ s proximity. This paper describes such case. The contribution of this paper is in showing that nanotechnology product can make material damage or even endanger human lives if we do not standardize safety requirements. These requirements should cover every thinkable way of making damage or endanger lives.
