Resonant frequencies and the associated vibrational modes of multiwall carbon nanotubes are studied in this paper. The analysis is based on a multiple-elastic beam model, considering intertube radial displacements and the related internal degrees of freedom. Especially, van der Waals interaction is modified considering both all interaction between each layers in multi-wall carbon nanotubes and curvature effect. The results show that modified van der Waals interaction could significantly affect the natural frequencies of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. In particular, non-coaxial intertube resonance will be excited at the higher resonant frequencies of multiwall carbon nanotubes.

구리 나노와이어를 캡슐로 싼 탄소 나노튜브 오실레이터에 대한 특성을 분자동역학 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 분석하였다. 탄소-탄소 반데르발스 상호작용으로 인한 초과 힘은 탄소-구리 반데르발스 상호작용에 의한 초과 힘보다 더 크고 구리 원자의 질량이 탄소 원자의 질량보다 더 크기 때문에 탄소 원자는 구리 원자보다 더 쉽게 촉진되고 안쪽 나노튜브와 캡슐로 들어간 구리 나노와이어 사이의 충돌은 전체 초과 힘을 감소시키는 반발 힘을 만든다.

물리흡착은 기체와 표면간의 상호작용이 반데르발스 힘에 의한 흡착현상으로 평형상태에서 물리적인 조건 변화만으로 흡착과 탈착이 가능하다. 이러한 흡착측정 데이터는 흡착 시스템에 대한 다양한 정보를 제공해주게 된다. 기체와 표면간의 상호작용 포텐셜, 흡착된 물질의 물리적 상태, 흡착막의 두께, 흡착구조, 흡착량 등이 결정될 수 있다. 이러한 정보는 흡착 및 탈착 등온곡선의 분석을 통하여 사용된 흡착제의 비표면적 및 기공의 기하학적 구조에 대한 것도 유추할 수 있게 한다. 본 실험실에서는 흡착량을 직접 측정하는 체적식 흡착측정 방법, 흡착량을 간접적으로 측정하는 광 및 관련 흡착시스템 및 수정진동자를 이용한 박막에서의 흡착측정 방법들을 소개하며 기공표준화에 적용하고자 한다.

고분자 콤플렉스 (polymer complex)는 두 개 또는 그 이상의 상호 보완적인 전하를 띄는 고분자의 조합에 의해서 형성된다. 이러한 콤플렉스는 정전기적인 힘, 소수성 상호작용, 수소결합, 반데르발스힘 등 여러 힘의 조합에 의해서 일어난다. 이들 힘에 의한 콤플렉스 형성을 그림 1에 나타내었다. 고분자의 긴 사슬로 인하여, 상호보완적인 반복단위가 모여 세그먼트 콤플렉스를 형성하고, 이렇게 모인 많은 반복단위가 자유도의 손실 없이 쉽게 회합한다. (중략)

One of the biggest challenges in the nano-field is how to effectively disperse nano-scale particles, especially CNTs, which are strongly agglomerated by intermolecular van der Waals forces. This study suggests a new method, discharge flocking, in order to disperse nano-scale particles effectively, which combines corona discharge phenomenon and a traditional electrostatic flocking process. In order to evaluate the discharge flocking process, composite specimens were fabricated by the process and RFI(resin film infusion) process, and then the mechanical and electrical properties of the specimens were measured and compared. Moreover, the evaluation of gas discharge effect on the CNTs and epoxy was performed to compare the mechanical and electrical properties of the composite specimens including the plasma treated CNTs. The experimental results showed that the electrical and mechanical properties of the specimens fabricated by the discharge flocking process were similar to those of the RFI process. In addition, plasma treated CNTs were not affected by gas discharge during the discharge flocking process.

Adhesion force of nanomaterials such as nanoparticle, nanowire, and nanorods should be significantly considered for its mechanical applications. However, examination of the adhesion force is limited since it is technically challenging to carry out experiments with such small objects. Therefore, in this work, molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) was conducted to determine the adhesion force between a nanowire and a flat surface, which could not be readily assessed through experiments. The adhesion force of a cylindrical-shaped nanowire was assessed by performing MDS and applying an equation of Van der Waals interaction. Simulation was conducted in two steps: indentation of a spherical tip on the flat surface and indentation of a cylinder on the flat surface, because the purpose of the simulation was comparing the results of the simulation and calculation of the Van der Waals interaction equation. From the simulation, Hamaker constant used for the equation of Van der Waals interaction was determined to be 2.93 °ø 10?18 J. Using this constant, the adhesion force of the nanowire on the flat surface was readily estimated by calculating Van der Waals equation to be approximately 65~89 nN with respect to the diameter of the nanowire. Moreover, the adhesion force of the nanowire was determined to be 52~77 nN from the simulation It was observed that there was a slight discrepancy (approximately 15~25%) between the results of the simulation and the theoretical calculation. Thus, it was confirmed that the calculation of Van der Waals interaction could be utilized to assess the adhesion force of the nanowire.

In GvdW EOS, a recently presented paper, shows that the characteristic status for spherical non-linear particle, of which the mutual behavior is known to be vdWf(van der Waals force) only, could be described well enough in the critical region. However, in current papers, analysis has not been done on GvdW about whether it is accurate or not, even for the particles in the linear form or those with the additional mutual behavior such as static-electricity, so there's some argument about the wide use of that. Therefore, in this paper, for the simulation in the critical region of Normal-alkane group(R=methane, ethane, propane, butane) which are the particles that has a linear charateristic and Normal-amine group($RNH_2$, R=methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-amine) where static-electricity is extremely shown, GvdW parameter values about these particles are defined, and based on this simulation, we compared results to the current EOS presented recently, and analyzed them. Through the simulation, it was shown that in case of Normal-alkane group and Normal-amine group molecules, GvdW presents an accurate critical region characteristic which is far more close to the measurement compared to current EOSs. Especially for butane with big amount in molecules, we found out that only GvdW EOS can reach close enough to the critical point.

The high-pressure phase behavior of a polycaprolactone (Mw=56,145 g/mol, polydispersity 1.2), dichloromethane, and carbon dioxide ternary system was measured using a variable-volume view cell. The experimental temperatures and pressures ranged from 313.15 K to 353.15 K and up to 300 bar as functions of the $CO_2$/dichloromethane mass ratio and temperature, at poly(D-lactic acid) weight fractions of 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0%. The correlation results were obtained from the hybrid equation of state (Peng-Robinson equation of state + SAFT equation of state) for the $CO_2$-polymer system using the van der Waals one-fluid mixing rule. The three binary interaction parameters were optimized by the simplex method algorithm.
