متن کاملA High-Flux, Flexible Membrane with Parylene-encapsulated Carbon Nanotubes
We present fabrication and characterization of a membrane based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and parylene. Carbon nanotubes have shown orders of magnitude enhancement in gas and water permeability compared to estimates generated by conventional theories [1, 2]. Large area membranes that exhibit flux enhancement characteristics of carbon nanotubes may provide an economical solution to a variety of...
متن کاملClothing polymer fibers with well-aligned and high-aspect ratio carbon nanotubes.
It is believed that the crucial step towards preparation of electrical conductive polymer-carbon nanotube (CNT) composites is dispersing CNTs with a high length-to-diameter aspect ratio in a well-aligned manner. However, this process is extremely challenging when dealing with long and entangled CNTs. Here in this study, a new approach is demonstrated to fabricate conductive polymer-CNT composit...
متن کاملEmbedded carbon-nanotube-stiffened polymer surfaces.
Conducting surface coatings are useful for antistatic applications, whereas surface hardening of materials is useful for improving the wear and abrasion resistance. 3] For polymer materials, surface conductivity and stiffness may be improved by applying coatings or adding fillers to the polymer matrix. For example, polymers can be made scratch resistant by the addition of hard fillers. However,...
