Preparation of single-walled carbon nanotubes/polyvinylchloride membrane and its antibacterial property

Single - Walled 4 . Single - Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are hollow, long cylinders with extremely large aspect ratios, made of one atomic sheet of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice. They possess extraordinary thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties and are considered as one of the most promising nanomaterials for applications and basic research. This chapter describes the structural, electronic, vibra...

Aligned Growth of Single-Walled and Double- Walled Carbon Nanotube Films by Control of Catalyst Preparation

Single - Walled 14 . Single - Walled Carbon Nanotube Sensor Concepts

Carbon nanotubes are nanocomponents par excellence that offer unique properties to be exploited in next-generation devices. Sensing applications are perhaps the class that has most to gain from single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs); virtually any property of SWNTs (e.g., electronic, electrical, mechanical, and optical) can result or has already resulted in sensor concept demonstrators. The bas...

Modeling of the adsorption kinetics of Basic Red 46 on single-walled carbon nanotube and carboxylate group functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube

The present study was carried out to investigate the potential of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) and carboxylate group functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT-COOH) as alternative adsorbents for the removal of Basic Red 46 (BR 46) from contaminated water by using batch adsorption studies. Effects of some key operating parameters such as pH, ionic strength and contact time on...

Cutting single-walled carbon nanotubes.

A two-step process is utilized for cutting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The first step requires the breakage of carbon-carbon bonds in the lattice while the second step is aimed at etching at these damage sites to create short, cut nanotubes. To achieve monodisperse lengths from any cutting strategy requires control of both steps. Room-temperature piranha and ammonium persulfate solu...
