Growth and structural discrimination of cortical neurons on randomly oriented and vertically aligned dense carbon nanotube networks
The growth of cortical neurons on three dimensional structures of spatially defined (structured) randomly oriented, as well as on vertically aligned, carbon nanotubes (CNT) is studied. Cortical neurons are attracted towards both types of CNT nano-architectures. For both, neurons form clusters in close vicinity to the CNT structures whereupon the randomly oriented CNTs are more closely colonised...
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 کاملMesoscopic modeling of structural self-organization of carbon nanotubes into vertically aligned networks of nanotube bundles
An effective and flexible method for the generation of computational samples for mesoscopic modeling of anisotropic networks of carbon nanotube (CNT) bundles with various degrees of CNT alignment is developed and applied for investigation of structural self-organization of nanotubes into vertically aligned CNT forests and fibers. Structural characteristics of the computational samples, such as ...
متن کاملGrowth of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotube films on quartz substrates and their optical anisotropy
Films of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with a few μm thickness were grown by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on quartz substrates. Low-temperature CVD from ethanol was performed by using densely mono-dispersed Co-Mo catalyst of ≈ 1.0 – 2.0 nm prepared on quartz substrates by a dip-coating method. Continuous reduction of catalysts with Ar/H2 (3% H2) during C...
متن کاملLarge-Displacement Indentation Testing of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Arrays
Mechanical properties and deformation of the vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays (VA-CNTs) has been examined with large-displacement indentation tests inside a scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The in-situ indentation allows for establishment of the load-depth responses and real-time observations of the deformation processes. Under a cylindrical, flat indenter, the VA-CNTs exhibit ela...
