Optical fiber ultrasound transmitter with electrospun carbon nanotube-polymer composite
All-optical ultrasound transducers are promising for imaging applications in minimally invasive surgery. In these devices, ultrasound is transmitted and received through laser modulation, and they can be readily miniaturized using optical fibers for light delivery. Here, we report optical ultrasound transmitters fabricated by electrospinning an absorbing polymer composite directly onto the end-...
متن کاملPreparation of Nanohydroxyapatite-Carbon Nanotube Composite Coatings on 316L Stainless Steel Using Electrophoretic Deposition
Nanohydroxyapatite-carbon nanotube composite coatings were deposited via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). AISI 316L stainless steel and ethanol were used as substrate and dispersing medium, respectively. 5%wt carbon nanotube (CNT) was used as reinforcing phase. Uniform and macrocrack-free coatings were obtained both for hydroxyapatite (HA) and HA-5%wt CNT coatings. Scanning electron micros...
متن کاملEvaluating the thermal damage resistance of graphene/carbon nanotube hybrid composite coatings
We study laser irradiation behavior of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and chemically modified graphene (rGO)-composite spray coatings for use as a thermal absorber material for high-power laser calorimeters. Spray coatings on aluminum test coupon were exposed to increasing laser irradiance for extended exposure times to quantify their damage threshold and optical absorbance. The coatings,...
متن کاملThe Effect of the Carbon Nanotube Content on the Corrosion Behaviour of Ni-P-CNT Composite Coating
In the present study, Ni-P-CNT composite coating was successfully fabricated via electroless plating. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the coatings. The effect of CNTs concentration in the bath on its content in the composite coatings was studied. Furthermore, the corrosion behaviour of the coatings with different contents of CNTs was evaluated using Tafel polarizatio...
متن کاملBroadband miniature optical ultrasound probe for high resolution vascular tissue imaging.
An all-optical ultrasound probe for vascular tissue imaging was developed. Ultrasound was generated by pulsed laser illumination of a functionalized carbon nanotube composite coating on the end face of an optical fiber. Ultrasound was detected with a Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavity on the end face of an adjacent optical fiber. The probe diameter was < 0.84 mm and had an ultrasound bandwidth of ~20 MHz....
