The Effects of Surface Treatments on the Growth of CNTs on 3-Dimensional Carbon Foam Structure

Quinton B.T., Zhang Q., Burke J., Leedy K., Tsao B., Scofield J., Merrett J.N., Yost K., Mukhopadhyay S.M., AFRL, US

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been the focus of significant research since Iijma’s 1991 Nature article. CNTs have primarily been grown on flat substrates for a range of potential applications due to their superior properties. However,limited [...]

Growth of Uniform CNT Layer on Copper Foil-the Effect of Synthesis Methods/Conditions

Zhang Q., Scofield J., Tsao B., Merrett J.N., Quinton B.T., Burke J., Pierce N., University of Dayton, US

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with unique thermal/electrical/mechanical properties and large surface area are an attractive candidate for the integration into thermal structures and for a flexible thermal interface material in a thermal device. In this study, [...]
