Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were dispersed into homemade silicone–polyurethane (SPU) resin in order to enhance their mechanical and anticorrosion ability. Before mixing with SPU, CNT modified by four different approaches improve dispersion the surface of covered SiO2–TiO2 nanoparticles, -NH2 groups, epoxy groups or isocyanate respectively. The structures CNTs checked XRD, FTIR, SEM. After being SPU ...

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNT FETs) have been demonstrated to exhibit high performance only through low-temperature fabrication process and require a low thermal budget construct monolithic three-dimensional (M3D) integrated circuits (ICs), which considered promising technology meet the demands of high-bandwidth computing fully functional integration. However, lack high-quality ...

this article presents an experimental investigation on effects of morphology of nanoparticles on the viscosity nanofluids (nfs). water and ethylene glycol were used as base fluids. a two step method was used for preparation of nfs. sio2 nanoparticles, cnt and graphene nano sheets were dispersed in the base fluids separately with the volume fraction ranging from 0.05% to 1.5%. stability of the n...

Substitution reactions between multiwalled carbon nanotubes and silicon monoxide vapour have been investigated using transmission electron microscopy. Different reactions occurred inside the multiwalled nanotubes and on the nanotube external surfaces, resulting in the formation of silicon carbide nanowires with a core–shell structure. The substitution reaction process and end products are stron...

In this work we report on the development of back-gated carbon nanotube-field effect transistors (CNT-FETs), with CNT layers playing the role of the channel, and on their electrical characterisation for sensing applications. The CNTs have been deposited by electrophoresis on an interdigitated electrode region created on a SiO2/Si substrate. Different kinds of CNTs have been used (MWCNTs by arc ...

We demonstrate a spray pyrolysis method to grow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with high degree of crystallinity, aspect ratio and degree of alignment on a variety of different substrates, such as conventional steel, carbon fibres (CF) and ceramics. The process consists in the chemical vapour deposition of both a thin SiO2 layer and CNTs that subsequently grow on this thin layer. After CNT growth, inc...

Adv. Mater. 2009, 21, 1–4 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag Gmb Aminiaturized thermoelectric (TE) coolermodule is composed of a large number of TE legs connected electrically in series and thermally in parallel. TE devices operating near room temperature typically create a temperature difference of 30–50 8C, and the TE film thickness for such devices ranges from 10 to 100mm. From manufacturing and reliabil...
