High 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 کاملAligned multiwalled carbon nanotube membranes.
An array of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was incorporated across a polymer film to form a well-ordered nanoporous membrane structure. This membrane structure was confirmed by electron microscopy, anisotropic electrical conductivity, gas flow, and ionic transport studies. The measured nitrogen permeance was consistent with the flux calculated by Knudsen diffusion through nanometer-scale tubes...
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 کاملVertically aligned pearl-like carbon nanotube arrays for fiber spinning.
Due to their unique structure and physical properties and numerous potential applications, carbon nanotubes have been extensively studied recently and are expected to attract more attention in the future.1 Morphology control of carbon nanotubes represents one of the most explored directions. Except for the normal linear structure, nanotubes with morphologies of ring,2 rocket,2 branch,3 cone,4 b...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent gas transport performance of vertically aligned carbon nanotube/parylene composite membranes
A novel composite membrane consisting of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and parylene was successfully fabricated. Seamless filling of the spaces in CNT forests with parylene was achieved by a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique and followed with the Ar/O2 plasma etching to expose CNT tips. Transport properties of various gases through the CNT/parylene membranes we...
