Development of “fullerene composite paper” for aiming to fabricate electronic paper devices

Onishi T., Oya T., Yokohama National University, JP

We propose a new functional paper containing fullerenes, i.e., a “fullerene-composite paper.” Generally, a fullerene, C60, has the form of a hollow sphere by carbon. It is known that the fullerenes have high physical and [...]

Development of “paper transistors” with new structure using carbon-nanotube-composite papers for aiming to construct logic circuits

Iijima R., Oya T., Yokohama National University, JP

We propose new “paper transistors” with unique structure using carbon-nanotube (CNT)-composite papers for aiming to construct “paper logic circuits.” Recently, the CNT that is one of nano-carbon materials has been receiving increasing attention because it [...]

Structure and the interactions in the crystal structure of cellulose III-I calculated by using ab initio molecular dynamics simulation

Ueda K., Ishikawa T., Miyamoto H., Hayakawa D., Yokohama National University, JP

The structure and the interactions existing in the crystal of cellulose IIII was evaluated by using the computational chemical approach. Cellulose is one of the most abundant renewable resources and the application of it to [...]

New Electromagnetic Shielding Sheets Using Carbon-Nanotube-Composite Papers

Li B.J., Ito W., Hiwatashi H., Oya T., Yokohama National University, JP

We propose new electromagnetic shielding(EMS) sheets using carbon-nanotube(CNT)-composite papers. The paper has good electrical conductivity in spite of a paper, the weight is light, and there is no deterioration problem because of both the CNT [...]
