Complex dynamics of carbon nanotube probe tips

Carbon nanotube (CNT) tips in tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) enable very high-resolution imaging, measurements, and manipulation at the nanoscale. We present recent results based on experimental analysis that yield new insights into the dynamics of CNT probe tips in tapping mode AFM. Experimental measurements are presented of the frequency response and dynamic amplitude-distance data of a high-aspect-ratio multi-walled (MW) CNT tip. Higher harmonics of the microcantilever are measured in frequency ranges corresponding to attractive regime and the repulsive regime where the CNT buckles dynamically. Surface scanning is performed using a MWCNT tip on a SiO(2) grating to verify the imaging instabilities associated with MWCNT buckling when used with normal control schemes in the tapping mode. Lastly, the choice of optimal setpoints for tapping mode control using CNT tip are discussed using the experimental results.     

Effect of carbon nanotube structural parameters on field emission properties

Experimental studies were devoted to the effect of structural parameters, i.e., tube diameter and density, on the field electron emission characteristics of carbon nanotubes. Thermal chemical vapor deposition system was employed to synthesize carbon nanotubes. Nanotubes with different diameters and densities were obtained by adjusting the thickness of the iron (Fe) catalyst film. The morphologies of the Fe and carbon nanotube film were characterized by scanning electron microscopy respectively. Further field emission measurement confirmed that the tube diameter and density could significantly affect the electron emission properties of the carbon nanotube. Possible physical reasons for the effect are discussed.     

Tapping mode scanning force microscopy in water using a carbon nanotube probe

An improved technique for obtaining tapping mode scanning force microscopy (TMSFM) images of soft samples submerged in water is described. This technique makes use of a carbon nanotube several microns in length mounted on a conventional silicon cantilever as the TMSFM probe. The sample is covered by a shallow water layer and during imaging only a portion of the nanotube is submerged. This mode of operation largely eliminates the undesirable effects of hydrodynamic damping and acoustic excitation that are present during conventional tapping mode operation in liquids and leads to high-quality TMSFM images. Because of their low bending force constants, carbon nanotubes are ideal for gentle imaging of soft samples. Because of their small (5–20 nm) diameter and cylindrical shape they provide excellent lateral resolution and are ideal for scanning high aspect ratio objects.     

Effects of mechanical properties on the tribo-electrification mechanisms of iron rubbing with carbon steels

The mechanisms of tribo-electrification and the associated wear behavior of a pair of dissimilar metals in the form of a pin and a plate rubbing against each other under dry severe wear condition were investigated using a reciprocating friction tester. The materials were iron and carbon steels of 0.2%, 0.45% and 0.7% carbon. Results showed that when an iron pin rubbed against the steel plate specimens, increasing the carbon content caused the formation mechanism of the wear particle to vary from macro-asperity removal to yielding wear. The material adhesive transfer was mainly from the pin to the plate specimen due to yielding wear. Hence, the polarity of tribo-electrification for the pin specimen varied from random to positive. Consequently, a model that described this mechanism was proposed. Now, when the materials were reversed, i.e. the three types of carbon steels were used as the pin to rub against an iron plate, increasing the carbon percentage of the pin specimen resulted in the wear mechanism to vary from macro-asperity removal to grooving wear, the latter of which resulted in material transfer mainly from the plate specimen to the pin specimen. In contrast to the previous case, the polarity of tribo-electrification for the pin specimen varied from random to negative and a model that described this mechanism was proposed. Based on the above two models, a micro-model of tribo-electrification mechanism for self-mated materials was proposed. By using this micro-model, the mechanism of tribo-electrification in same material abrasion can be reasonably explained.     

Influence of molecular weight on performance properties of polyethersulphone and its composites with carbon fabric

The effect of molecular weight (MW) of a polymer on the wettability of fibers and its influence on the performance properties need to be addressed in detail. Specialty polymer, viz. polyethersulphone (PES), with varying MW was selected as a matrix material to develop the composites with carbon fabric (CF). Since carbon fiber is inert towards the matrix, cold remote nitrogen–oxygen plasma (CRNOP) treatment was employed to improve its chemical reactivity, by incorporating functional groups to promote the fiber–matrix adhesion. Evaluation of mechanical and sliding wear properties of polymers and composites led to the conclusion that the CRNOP treatment was beneficial to enhance performance properties. The MW and MFI have inverse relation. MW proved to be a controlling parameter for pristine polymers while melt flow index (MFI) was the decisive parameter for the performance of composites. Perforations and increased roughness on the treated carbon fiber, as observed by the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), were responsible for the improved fiber–matrix adhesion and hence performance properties.     

Influence of the multi-walled carbon nanotube and short carbon fibre composition on tribological properties of epoxy composites

The present research work deals with the development of a novel polymer composite for brake pad applications. The composite that was used consists of epoxy resin, carbon fibre and carbon nanotubes in varying weight percentage. The tribological performance of three different samples was tested using a pin-on-disc under dry contact condition. The results indicated that the sample filled with short carbon fibres (SCF), and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) had superior performance. Reduction in wear rate was observed due to synergism between SCF and MWCNT as compared to SCF only. Scanning electron microscopy was subsequently performed on all samples. The micrographs show changes in the structural formation after the incorporation of SCFs and MWCNT. This increased composite structural strength and explains why SCF and MWCNT’s hybrid-filled composite material has better tribological properties.
