Growth and field emission properties of vertically aligned carbon nanofibers
Vertically aligned carbon nanofibers sVACNFsd were synthesized on Ni-coated Si substrates using a dc plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition system. The size of the Ni islands used as catalyst to grow the VACNFs was formed by both thermal annealing and laser processing on thin metal layers. It was observed that the diameter of the carbon nanofibers is strongly dependent on the initial Ni isla...
متن کاملScalable fabrication of immunosensors based on carbon nanotube polymer composites.
In this work we present the fabrication and characterization of immunosensors based on polystyrene (PS)-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites. The electrochemical properties of the sensors have been investigated and show that the surface area is increased upon addition of the MWCNT-PS layer. Furthermore, a plasma activation process is used to partially remove the PS and expose the MWCN...
متن کاملField emission vacuum power switch using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes
A field emission vacuum switch using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes grown by a direct current plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition is reported. Cathodes with optimized field emission properties were evaluated in diode configuration as a test vehicle for the construction of a vacuum power three terminal triode device. Limiting factors such as space charge effects involved with high cur...
متن کاملMembranes of vertically aligned superlong carbon nanotubes.
In the present work, we have developed a simple but effective method to prepare superlong vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (SLVA-CNT) and epoxy composite membranes, and we have demonstrated that various liquids, including water, hexane, and dodecane, can effectively pass through the SLVA-CNT membranes. These results were confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations. While the mechanical densi...
متن کاملFunctionalization of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes
This review focuses and summarizes recent studies on the functionalization of carbon nanotubes oriented perpendicularly to their substrate, so-called vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs). The intrinsic properties of individual nanotubes make the VA-CNTs ideal candidates for integration in a wide range of devices, and many potential applications have been envisaged. These applications c...
