Repeater Insertion for Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Interconnects

Repeater Insertion for Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Interconnects

Closed-form expressions for the optimized number and size of repeaters in multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) interconnects are presented. The contact resistance and inductive effects are taken into account. It is found that the propagation delay of MWCNT interconnects can be reduced effectively by inserting repeaters. However, the contact resistance has a significant influence on the optimize...

The Effects of Functionalized Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube on Mechanical Properties of Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube/Epoxy Composites

The mechanical properties of the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/epoxy composites affected by carboxyl and amino functionalized MWCNT are investigated. Tensile tests of the specimens were carried out to obtain mechanical properties of MWCNT/epoxy composites for various weight-percents (wt %) of MWCNTs. In order to properly predict the mechanical properties of MWCNT reinforced epoxy composi...

Super-hydrophobic multi-walled carbon nanotube coatings for stainless steel.

We have taken advantage of the native surface roughness and the iron content of AISI 316 stainless steel to directly grow multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) random networks by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at low-temperature (1000°C) without the addition of any external catalysts or time-consuming pre-treatments. In this way, super-hydrophobic MWCNT films on stainless steel sheets were obta...

Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube Film Sensor for Ethanol Gas Detection

A kind of resistance-type multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) film sensor was fabricated using layer-by-layer self-assembly, and an astable multivibrator circuit was designed for resistance measurement. The electrical properties of MWNTs film sensor were investigated, and also its ethanol gassensing properties with varying gas concentration are characterized at room temperature. The experiment ...
