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 [...]

Nanotube Grafting in Porous Solids for High Surface Devices

Mukhopadhyay S.M., Karumuri A., Barney I.T., Wright State University, US

Biological systems make use of hair and capillary type hierarchical structures to create more surface area in limited space, but very few synthetic materials use this concept. Geometrical calculations show that if hierarchical substrates are [...]
