Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes for microelectrode arrays applications.
In this work a methodology to fabricate carbon nanotube based electrodes using plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition has been explored and defined. The final integrated microelectrode based devices should present specific properties that make them suitable for microelectrode arrays applications. The methodology studied has been focused on the preparation of highly regular and dense vertica...
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 کاملFunctionalization of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes
This review focuses and summarizes recent studies on the functionalization of carbon nanotubes oriented perpendicularly to their substrate, so-called vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs). The intrinsic properties of individual nanotubes make the VA-CNTs ideal candidates for integration in a wide range of devices, and many potential applications have been envisaged. These applications c...
متن کاملOptimized Conditions for Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes
Here, we have synthesized vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs), using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Cobalt and ethanol are used as the catalyst and the carbon source, respectively. The effects of ethanol flow rate, thickness of Co catalyst film, and growth time on the properties of the carbon nanotube growth are investigated. The results show that the flow rate of ethanol and...
متن کاملA Growth Mechanism for Vertically Aligned Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
One of the difficulties in developing practical nanotube-based devices is the large-scale production of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Due to their novel electronic and thermal properties, single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) show great potential for use a variety of applications . The alignment of SWNTs has been reported, but only parallel to the substrate in the presence of strong electric or ma...
