Hot-wire chemical vapor deposition of carbon nanotubes

Hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) has been employed for the continuous gas-phase generation of both carbon multi-wall and single-wall nanotube (MWNT and SWNT) materials. Graphitic MWNTs were produced at a very high density at a synthesis temperature of 600 °C. SWNTs were deposited at a much lower density on a glass substrate held at 450 °C. SWNTs are typically observed in large bundles that are stabilized by tube–tube van der Waals’ interactions. However, transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed only the presence of isolated SWNTs in these HWCVD-generated materials.     

醇处理对静电纺MWNTs/丝素/聚酰胺复合纤维的影响

醇蒸汽对改善静电纺纤维的结构与性能具有重要作用。采用静电纺丝的方法制备了MWNTs/丝素/聚酰胺6/66复合纤维毡,并用无水乙醇蒸汽对其处理。研究发现,碳纳米管质量分数较少的试样中,纤维发生了溶胀,并粘连在一起,随着碳纳米管质量分数的增加,纤维只是发生了径向膨胀。乙醇蒸汽处理使纤维毡的结晶结构、热稳定性以及力学性能都得到了显著的提高。碳纳米管质量分数为0.1%时,结晶度从55.8%增加到63.9%,断裂强度、初始模量以及断裂伸长分别增加了45%、103%和134%。

Conducting polymer coated carbon surfaces and biosensor applications

This review article focuses on several approaches in the characterization and modification of carbon surfaces with electrocoated thin films which has been realized by recent progress in experimental methods. Electropolymerization and electrocopolymerization of π-conjugated polymers (pyrrole, carbazole, N-vinylcarbazole and aniline) onto carbon surfaces are reviewed with 348 references. Particular emphasis is placed on the recent nanoscale surface characterization techniques applied to the resulting electrocoated polymers onto carbon fibers (i.e., scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), focused ion beam-secondary ion mass spectroscopy (FIB-SIMS), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (reflectance-FTIR), and Raman spectroscopic measurements).

温度对CVD法制备多壁碳纳米管的影响

以Fe／SiO2粉状物作催化剂用化学沉积法裂解乙炔制备出无序多壁碳纳米管,用TEM、XRD和DSC-TGA分析了反应温度对碳纳米管的影响。实验结果表明,反应温度分别为600、700和800℃时,制备出碳纳米管的直径相应为12～20、15～25和33～66nm,即碳纳米管的直径随着反应温度的升高而增大。同时随着反应温度的提高碳纳米管的石墨化程度也有明显的提高。因此碳纳米管的直径、石墨化程度等结构特性可以用反应温度来加以控制。

Curing behavior and kinetic analysis of epoxy resin/multi-walled carbon nanotubes composites

The effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), both amino-functionalized (f-MWNTs) and unfunctionalized (p-MWNTs) on the curing behavior of epoxy resin (EP) cured with triethanolamine (TEA), was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Because the triethylenetetramine (TETA) grafted on the f-MWNTs could act as curing agent and the produced tertiary amine as negative ionic catalysts of curing reaction of EP, so the activation energy of the EP/TEA system was decreased by the addition of f-MWNTs. Viscosity played a key role in the curing behavior of the EP/TEA/MWNTs system, for high viscosity of the EP/TEA/MWNTs system could hinder the motion of the functional groups. The curing heat in EP/TEA/f-MWNTs (weight ratio 1/0.1/0.01) system was higher than the neat EP/TEA (weight ratio 1/0.1) system, while the curing heat in EP/TEA/p-MWNTs (weight ratio 1/0.1/0.01) was lower than the neat system. When the content of f-MWNTs was increased to 2 phr (weight ratio of 1/0.1/0.02), the curing heat became lower than that of the neat EP/TEA system, which was the result of the higher viscosity of the EP/f-MWNTs/TEA system. Since the curing heat indicated the curing degree of the system generally, the addition of the f-MWNTs was thought to increase the curing degree of the epoxy matrix at a relatively low content.
