Introduction to Raman Spectroscopy as a Characterization Tool for Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene, and other Carbon Nanostructures

Wall M., Hodkiewicz J., Thermo Fisher Scientific, US

While there have been many publications produced in which Raman spectroscopy has been used to characterize various aspects of carbon nanostructures, there have been few works published which provide an overview of what the technique [...]

Scalable Single Walled Carbon Nanotube Separation: from Process to Product

Fogden S., Kim K.C., Ma C., McFarlane G., Linde Electronics, US

The extraordinary electronic and optical properties of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are determined by their structure; SWNTs are1 either metallic or semiconducting depending on their diameter and chirality . Many valuable applications in, for [...]

Highly conductive nanotube-filled polymers with exceptional properties

Tiano T., Czerw R., Coffin R., Adams R., NanoTechLabs Inc., US

NanoTechLabs has developed new methods for preparation of highly conductive high-performance polymers. We use novel, scalable methods to incorporate high aspect ratio, low diameter, metallic multi-wall nanotubes (MWNT) into high performance engineering resins and plastics. [...]

Carbon Nanotube Arrays with Tunable Wettability and Their Applications

Indrat Aria A., California Institute of Technology, US

A combination of UV/ozone treatment and vacuum-pyrolysis process that can be used for fine tuning the wetting properties of the CNTs is introduced. In contrast to the widely known wet-chemical methods the UV/ozone treatment is [...]

Continuous Growth of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes Forests

Guzman de Villoria R., Wardle B.L., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes are one of the most promising materials due their numerous applications in flexible electronic devices, biosensors and multifunctional aircraft materials, among others. However, the costly production of aligned carbon nanotubes, generally [...]

Effective carbon nanotube materials and design strategies for CNT-based electronics

Sinton S., Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, US

Lockheed Martin and its partners are actively involved in the development of devices using carbon nanotube materials (CNTs) for various sensor and electronics applications. The challenges f acing the effective development of this technology will [...]

Highly Organized Two and Three Dimensional Singlewalled Carbon Nanotubes-Polymer Hybrid Architectures

Li B., Hahm M.G., Kim Y.L., Kar S., Jung Y.J., Northeastern University, US

We present a new class of highly organized SWCNTs network-polymer hybrid structures, by incorporating horizontally and vertically aligned SWCNTs in desired locations, orientations and dimensions on/inside flexible polymer matrices forming mechanically and electrically robust unique [...]
