Liquid crystal–carbon nanotube dispersions
Parallel alignment of nanotubes can be obtained by dispersion in a self-organizing anisotropic fluid such as a nematic liquid crystal. Exploiting the cooperative reorientation of liquid crystals, the overall direction of the nanotube alignment can be controlled both statically and dynamically by the application of external fields. These can be electric, magnetic, mechanic, or even optic in natu...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Thermal Pastes for Improving Thermal Contacts
The use of 0.6 vol.% single-walled carbon nanotubes in a poly(ethylene glycol)based dispersion gave a thermal paste that was as effective as solder for improving thermal contacts. A thermal contact conductance of 20 · 10 W m K was attained. An excessive amount of nanotubes (e.g. 1.8 vol.%) degraded the performance, because of conformability loss. The nanotubes were more effective than hexagonal...
متن کاملTemperature and pH-responsive single-walled carbon nanotube dispersions.
Solubilization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using noncovalently interacting polymer surfactants in aqueous media has opened up a new vista of SWNTs in biology and medicine. In many potential applications, it is desirable to control the dispersion or aggregation of SWNTs in solvents with external stimuli. Here we report two "smart" SWNT dispersions that respond to temperature and pH...
متن کاملLight-controlled single-walled carbon nanotube dispersions in aqueous solution.
We have succeeded in dispersing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) into an aqueous solution of poly(ethylene glycol)-terminated malachite green derivative (PEG-MG) through simple sonication. It was found that UV exposure caused reaggregation of these predispersed SWNTs in the same aqueous medium, as adsorbed PEG-MG photochromic chains could be effectively photocleavaged from the nanotube su...
متن کاملStructure of semidilute single-wall carbon nanotube suspensions and gels.
The microscopic network structure of surfactant-stabilized single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in water was investigated as a function of SWNT concentration in the semidilute (overlapping) regime using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Most of the samples exhibit rigid rod behavior (i.e., Q(-1) intensity variation) at large scattering wavevector, Q, and a crossover to network behavior (i....
