Electronic properties control of single-walled carbon nanotube using spontaneous redox process of MnO4- and carbon nanotube

Shin D.-W., Lee J-H., Yoo J.-B., Sungkyunkwan University, KR

We investigated the effectiveness of electronic properties with single-walled carbon nanotube through spontaneous redox-reaction between the metal oxide ion such as MnO4- and carbon nanotube. The SWCNTs synthesized by the arc discharge method were used. [...]

Novel Electrostatic Digital Printing Device Based on Single Walled Carbon Nanotube

Law K-Y, Kanungo M., Xerox Corporation, US

Carbon nanotube thin films because of their unique optical and electronic properties coupled with the flexibility and easy patternability are promising candidates for application in low cost, large area flexible displays and optoelectronics. In this [...]

Large area, directionally aligned single-walled carbon nanotube thin film by self-assembly and compressed sliding methods

Najeeb C.K., Lee J-H., Chang J., Kim J.H., Ajou University, KR

To fabricate large area directional arrangement of SWNTs, we employed two different methods such as self assembly of surface modified SWNTs by drop casting or spin coating and by compressed sliding of SWNT dispersion between [...]

Novel Carbon Nanotube-Biomedical Polymer Composite Platforms for Bioelectrochemical Applications

Ounnunkad S., Minett A.I., Fleming B.D., Bond A.M., Wallace G.G., University of Wollongong, AU

The construction and the electrochemical characteristics of novel freestanding biomedical polymer-single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) nanocomposite electrode, formed via an intercalation process have been described. The intercalating polymer reinforces the Buckypaper to provide sufficient strength [...]

Theoretical Studies on the Ozonization at the Capped-end of a Single-walled Carbon Nanotube: The Effect of the Finite Length

Sawangphruk M., Sirijaraensre J., Pantu P., Limtrakul J., Kasetsart University, TH

Since the discovery in 1991, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been investigated for numerous potential applications in nanotechnology. However, the insolubility and high chemical stability obstruct the purification and the applications of the nanotubes. The [...]

Investigation of Carbon Nanotube Mechanical Properties Using Atomistic-Continuum Mechanics Method

Wu C-J, Chou C.Y., Han C-N, Chiang K.N., Advanced Microsystem Packaging and Nano-Mechanics Research Laboratory, National Tsing Hua University, TW

This paper utilizes atomistic-continuum mechanics method (ACM) to investigate the mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Fundamental to the proposed concept is the perception that a carbon nanotube is a geometrical frame-like structure, and [...]
