چکیده

Using a shielded growth approach and N2-annealed, nearly monodispersed Fe2O3 nanoparticles synthesized by interdendritic stabilization of Fe3+ species within fourth-generation poly(amidoamine) dendrimers, carbon nanotubes and nanofibers were successfully grown at low substrate temperatures (200-400 degrees C) by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition.

Dendrimer-assisted controlled growth of carbon nanotubes for enhanced thermal interface conductance

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with systematically varied diameter distributions and defect densities were reproducibly grown from a modified catalyst structure templated in an amine-terminated fourth-generation poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Thermal interface resistances of the vertically oriented MWCNT arrays as determined by...

Fabrication of Carbon Nanotube Networks on Three-Dimensional Building Blocks and Their Applications

Three-dimensional (3D) networks of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were fabricated on a pillarpatterned substrate by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). To fabricate 3D networks of CNTs, highly crystalline single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs) should be synthesize on the substrate. PECVD has advantages for low temperature growth and alignment of CNTs on the substrate, but it is difficult to synthe...

Low-temperature plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition of carbon nanotubes

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes were selectively grown at temperatures as low as 120 8C by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition. We investigated the effects of acetylene, ethylene and methane as carbon source gases together with ammonia as an etchant and nickel as catalyst material. The diluted acetylene plasma gave the highest nanotube growth rate and showed the most intense C Swan b...

Carbon nanotube formation directly on the surface of stainless steel materials by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition

We have developed a method for forming carbon nanotubes (CNTs) directly on the surfaces of stainless steel materials that are important industrially. Using plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PCVD), CNTs are formed at comparatively low temperatures, thus avoiding excessive annealing and degradation of the stainless steel. Because the catalytic metals needed for CNT formation are containe...
