Strain-engineered manufacturing of freeform carbon nanotube microstructures.
The skins of many plants and animals have intricate microscale surface features that give rise to properties such as directed water repellency and adhesion, camouflage, and resistance to fouling. However, engineered mimicry of these designs has been restrained by the limited capabilities of top-down fabrication processes. Here we demonstrate a new technique for scalable manufacturing of freefor...
متن کاملAn Overview of Fabrication Methods and Applications of Carbon Nanotube Membrane in Environmental Engineering as Hydraulic Microstructures
The main purpose of this article is to study fabrication methods and applications of aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes as a hydraulic microstructure in treatment processes. This paper emphasizes the use of CNTs as membrane in separation processes like water and wastewater treatment because of their exclusive advantages. Their most important characteristics are high mechanical strength aga...
متن کاملFabrication of high-aspect-ratio polymer microstructures and hierarchical textures using carbon nanotube composite master molds.
Scalable and cost effective patterning of polymer structures and their surface textures is essential to engineer material properties such as liquid wetting and dry adhesion, and to design artificial biological interfaces. Further, fabrication of high-aspect-ratio microstructures often requires controlled deep-etching methods or high-intensity exposure. We demonstrate that carbon nanotube (CNT) ...
متن کاملDynamic Stability of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube Based on Nonlocal Strain Gradient Theory
This paper deals with dynamic Stability of single walled carbon nanotube. Strain gradient theory and Euler-Bernouli beam theory are implemented to investigate the dynamic stability of SWCNT embedded in an elastic medium. The equations of motion were derived by Hamilton principle and non-local elasticity approach. The nonlocal parameter accounts for the small-size effects when dealing with nano-...
متن کاملFabrication, characterization, and biocompatibility of single-walled carbon nanotube-reinforced alginate composite scaffolds manufactured using freeform fabrication technique.
Composite polymeric scaffolds from alginate and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) were produced using a freeform fabrication technique. The scaffolds were characterized for their structural, mechanical, and biological properties by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, tensile testing, and cell-scaffold interaction study. Three-dimensional hybrid alginate/SWCNT tissue scaffolds ...
