Alter the sheet resistance of carbon nanotube coated cellulose fabric with argon plasma pretreatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cellulose fabrics were coated with single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by a dip-drying process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy analyses indicate the attachment of SWCNTs. The sheet resistance of SWCNT coated fabrics can be altered by modifying the raw cellulose fabrics with low pressure argon plasma. An initial plasma ablation of up to 3 min results in the decrease of sheet resistance, which can be ascribed to the increase of fibre surface roughness, evidenced by SEM analyses. A further increase in the extent of plasma ablation brings about the increase in sheet resistance, which is associated with the incorporation of oxygen functionalities, supported by the data obtained on colour strength measurements.

The effect of plasma modification on the sheet resistance of nylon fabrics coated with carbon nanotubes
Low-pressure oxygen and argon plasmas were used to pre-treat nylon fabrics, and the modified fabrics, together with the raw fabrics, were subsequently coated with single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by a dip-drying process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy analyses indicated the attachment of SWCNTs onto nylon fabrics. After the coating with SWCNTs, the plasma modif...

Smart multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-coated cellulose fibers with a unique sensing ability were manufactured by a simple dip coating process. The formation of electrically-conducting MWCNT networks on cellulose monoand multi-filament fiber surfaces was confirmed by electrical resistance measurements and visualized by scanning electron microscopy. The interaction between MWCNT networks and...

Nowadays, there is a great tendency for eco-dyeing and finishing of textiles with natural products. several natural dyes have been used for dyeing of protein fibers but a low number have the ability to dye cotton fiber because of low affinity of cellulose to the natural dyes. In this study madder and weld natural colorants were used to dye cotton fabric premordanted with three metallic salt...

Introduction: Despite nanofibers have attracted great interests for filtering particulate matters from the air stream, fewer studies have been done on the feasibility of their use in the removal of gas pollutants, while the both pollutants are present in the most workplaces. Toluene is a toxic and mutagenic substance, and chronic exposure to its low levels can lead to a wide range of adverse he...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Paper-Based Electroanalytical Devices
Here, we report on carbon nanotube paper-based electroanalytical devices. A highly aligned-carbon nanotube (HA-CNT) array, grown using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), was processed to form bi-layered paper with an integrated cellulose-based Origami-chip as the electroanalytical device. We used an inverse-ordered fabrication method from a thick carbon nanotube (CNT) sheet to a thin CNT sheet. A...
