We report the enhanced capacitance of the Multi-Walled Carbon NanoTubes (MWCNTs) after a chemical unzipping process in concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4). The effects of the test duration and temperature were investigated on the unzipping process of the MWCNTs to synthesize the graphene oxide nanoribbons. The SEM and TEM studies were carried out on untreated a...

The use of thin-walled structures as impact energy absorbers are well known. thin aluminum cylinder tube is a good absorber. However, the energy-absorbing design must also have sufficient toughness. In this research, we made modifications to improve performance tube. cylinder's modification prepared by adding four grooves along wall in axial direction. Numerical modeling was carried out using f...

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...

We report the fabrication of devices in which one single-walled carbon nanotube spans a barrier between two fluid reservoirs, enabling direct electrical measurement of ion transport through the tube. A fraction of the tubes pass anomalously high ionic currents. Electrophoretic transport of small single-stranded DNA oligomers through these tubes is marked by large transient increases in ion curr...

The fluid-structure interaction simulation of detonationand shock-wave-loaded fracturing thin-walled structures requires numerical methods that can cope with large deformations as well as topology changes. We present a robust level-set-based approach that integrates a Lagrangian thin shell finite element solver with fracture and fragmentation capabilities with an Eulerian Cartesian detonation s...
