Enhanced electrical properties of vertically aligned carbon nanotube-epoxy nanocomposites with high packing density
During their synthesis, multi-walled carbon nanotubes can be aligned and impregnated in a polymer matrix to form an electrically conductive and flexible nanocomposite with high backing density. The material exhibits the highest reported electrical conductivity of CNT-epoxy composites (350 S/m). Here, we show how conductive atomic force microscopy can be used to study the electrical transport me...
متن کاملHigh density, vertically-aligned carbon nanotube membranes.
A method is presented to prepare high-density, vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VA-CNT) membranes. The CNT arrays were prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and the arrays were collapsed into dense membranes by capillary-forces due to solvent evaporation. The average space between the CNTs after shrinkage was approximately 3 nm, which is comparable to the pore size of the CNTs. Thus, ...
متن کاملThermal conduction in aligned carbon nanotube-polymer nanocomposites with high packing density.
Nanostructured composites containing aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are very promising as interface materials for electronic systems and thermoelectric power generators. We report the first data for the thermal conductivity of densified, aligned multiwall CNT nanocomposite films for a range of CNT volume fractions. A 1 vol % CNT composite more than doubles the thermal conductivity of the base ...
متن کاملSurface properties of vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays
This study focuses on the structural changes of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays while measuring their adhesive properties and wetting behaviour. CNT forests grown by chemical vapor deposition with a height of ~100 μm, an outer CNT diameter of ~10 nm and a density of the order of ~10 CNTs/cm show an average adhesion of 4 N/cm when pressed against a glass surface. The applied forc...
متن کاملThe electrical properties of polymer nanocomposites with carbon nanotube fillers.
The electrical properties of polymer nanocomposites containing a small amount of carbon nanotube (CNT) are remarkably superior to those of conventional electronic composites. Based on three-dimensional (3D) statistical percolation and 3D resistor network modeling, the electrical properties of CNT nanocomposites, at and after percolation, were successfully predicted in this work. The numerical a...
