Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of materials in the nanometer scale from 1 to 100 nm. Due to its numerous advantages which includes miniaturization and enhanced energy efficiency it has been deployed in many industrial applications including electronics, medicine, energy, environment, materials and consumer products. In this paper, our focus will be deployment of nanotechnology to revolutionize the electronics industry. The miniaturization of electronic devices and advances in nanomaterial research and production has made the application of functional nanomaterials at the forefront of scientific and industrial attention. Recent advances in carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and other green carbon nanomaterials from organic sources such as rice husk and carbon charcoal have shown excellent results when deployed in electronics, bioelectronics, optoelectronics and photonic applications. In this paper we will present some case studies when these materials were used in gas sensor and microstrip patch antenna applications that proved to show excellent results with improved performance.
