We present a facile micropatterning method that is based on the electrochemically induced deposition of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes on an indium tin oxide electrode without using surfactants or polymers.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been grown on 7 nm Ni-coated substrates consisting of 300 lm thick highly n-doped (1 0 0) silicon covered with a di usion barrier layer (10 nm thick) of SiO2 or TiN, by combining hot-wire chemical vapor deposition and direct current plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition at low temperature (around 620 °C). Acetylene gas was used as carbon source and ammonia...

Carbon nanotubes possess unique chemical, physical, optical, and magnetic properties, which make them suitable for many uses in industrial products and in the field of nanotechnology, including nanomedicine. We describe fluorescent nanocomposites for use in biosensors or nanoelectronics. Then we describe recent results on the issue of cytotoxicity of carbon nanotubes obtained in our labs. Silic...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were synthesized on a Ni/Au/Ti substrate using a thermal chemical vapor deposition process. A Ni layer was used as a catalyst, and an Au layer was applied as a barrier in order to prevent diffusion between Ni and Ti within the substrate during the growth of carbon nanotubes. The results showed that vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes could be uniformly...
