In an attempt to give a brief introduction to carbon nanotube inkjet printing, this review paper discusses the issues that come along with preparing and printing carbon nanotube ink. Carbon nanotube inkjet printing is relatively new, but it has great potential for broad applications in flexible and printable electronics, transparent electrodes, electronic sensors, and so on due to its low cost ...

air pollution has always been a major problem in metropolises. volatile organic compounds are one of the major pollutants that are caused by incomplete combustion of fuels in vehicles and gasoline evaporation, especially in fueling stations. removing these pollutants through traditional methods has always been considered. the paper investigates and studies chemical adsorption behavior of benzen...

The role of water in carbon feed on the surface-guided growth of horizontally aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (HA-SWCNTs) was investigated. It is shown that the amount of water can be optimized to favor HA-SWCNT growth, which is proposed to be due to selective etching of carbon deposits at carbon–metal interface. Without water, nanotube–nanotube interaction and carbon accumulation at the...

the growth rate of carbon nanotubes in chemical vapor deposition is simulated by using a theoretical analysis of the phonon vibration of the system. simulations demonstrate that the growth rate of carbon nanotubes with larger diameters is smaller because of higher damping factors and carbon nanotube inertia. an optimum temperature for the growth rate is calculated for a carbon nanotube on fe ca...

The elastic moduli of polymer-carbon nanotube composites are examined by molecular dynamics simulations of a single-walled carbon nanotube embedded in polyethylene. The overall system is modeled with a many-body bond order potential due to Brenner. Alternatively, only the carbon nanotube is modeled with Brenner’s potential and the polyethylene matrix is modeled by a united-atom potential. For t...

Continuum based models are presented here for certain boron nitride and carbon nanostructures. In particular, certain fullerene interactions, C(60)-C(60), B(36)N(36)-B(36)N(36) and C(60)-B(36)N(36), and fullerene-nanotube oscillator interactions, C(60)-boron nitride nanotube, C(60)-carbon nanotube, B(36)N(36)-boron nitride nanotube and B(36)N(36)-carbon nanotube, are studied using the Lennard-...

The fractal degree of adsorption on the multi-walled carbon nanotube has been investigated. The fractal-like Langmuir kinetics model has been used to obtain the fractal degree of ion adsorption on multi-walled carbon nanotube. The behavior of the fractal-like kinetics equation was compared with some famous rate equations like Langmuir, pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations. It is...

Although the thermal properties of millimeter-sized carbon nanotube mats and packed carbon nanofibers have been readily measured, measurements for a single nanotube are extremely difficult. Here, we report a novel method that can reliably measure the thermal conductivity of a single carbon nanotube using a suspended sample-attached T-type nanosensor. Our experimental results show that the therm...
