Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized via liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as precursor using flame fragments deposition (FFD) technique. In vitro, biological activates of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) synthesized by FFD technique were investigated. The physiochemical characterizations of synthesized CNTs are similar to other synthesized CNTs and to the standard sample. Pharmaceutical application of synthesized CNTs was studied via conjugation and adsorption with different types of medicines as promote groups. The conjugation of CNTs was performed by adsorption the drugs such as sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and trimethoprim (TMP) on CNTs depending on physical properties of both bonded parts. The synthesized CNTs almost have the same performance in antibiotic activity compared with standard sample of CNTs (commercial CNTs).The products were effective antibiotic in the treatment as resistant bacteria, may higher concentration of CNTs would have antibacterial activity on multi-drug resistant bacteria such as Acinetobacter and also on resistant E.coli. The bioactivity synthesized and standard samples of CNTs were almost the same against different types of bacteria.

This work aimed on synthesis of Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via flame fragments deposition (FFD) techniques using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a source of carbon [12,13,14] and studying their pharmaceutical applications
Synthesis of Carbon Nanotube from Liquefied Petroleum Gas The carbon was obtained by burning a mixture of gases from Ethan, methane, isopropane, butane and isobutene by using flame fragmentation deposition (FFD) instrument
Summary
Nanotechnology is modern science relating to functional engineering systems of molecular, atomic, supramolecular scales below 100 nm. There are many Nano-materials that have been discovered such as zinc nanoparticles, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, carbon Nano-tubes, gold nanoparticles, and gold beacon This tiny size molecules and particles could face scientific problems with large products [2].Recently, one unique form is discovered and known as carbon nanostructures (CNSs). This novel discovery will change different concepts in the applications of carbon
