In this study, a surface treatment method using accelerated Ar ions was experimented for exposing the carbon nanotubes (CNT) from the screen-printed CNT paste. After making a cathode electrode on the glass substrate, photo sensitive CNT paste was screen-printed, and then back-side was exposed by UV light. Then, the exposed CNT paste was selectively remained by development. After post-baking, the remained CNT paste was bombarded by accelerated Ar ions for removing some binders and exposing only CNTs. As results, the field emission characteristics were strongly depended on the accelerating energy, bombardment time, and the power of RF plasma ion source. When Ar ions accelerated with 100 eV energy from the 100 W RF plasma source are bombarded on the CNT paste surface for 10 min, the emission level and the uniformity were best.

Although the screen printing technology using photosensitive carbon nanotube (CNT) paste has many advantages such as low cost, simple process, uniform emission, and capability of mass production, the CNT paste needs to be improved further in CNT dispersion, printability, adhesion, electrical conductivity, population of CNT emitters, etc. Ball milling has been frequently employed to prepare the CNT paste as ball milling can mix its ingredients very well and easily cut the long, entangled CNTs. This study carried out a parametric approach to fabricating the CNT paste in terms of low-energy ball milling and a paste composition. Field emission properties of the CNT paste was characterized with CNT dispersion and electrical conductivity which were measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and a 4-point probe method, respectively. Main variables in formulating the CNT paste include a length of milling time, and amounts of CNTs and conductive inorganic fillers. In particular, we varied not only the contents of conductive fillers but also used two different sizes of filler particles of ${\mu}m$ and nm ranges. Among many variations of conductive fillers, the best field emission characteristics occurred at the 5 wt% fillers with the mixing ratio of 3:1 for ${\mu}m$-and nm-sizes. The amount and size of fillers has a great effect on the morphology, processing stability, and field emission characteristics of CNT emitter dots. The addition a small amount of nm-size fillers considerably improved the field emission characteristics of the photosensitive CNT paste.

탄소나노튜브(CNT)의 물성은 고분자재료의 기계적, 전도성, 열적 물성을 향상시켜주기 때문에 많은 분야에서 소재개발을 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 사전에 CNT 10 wt% 페이스트를 제조하여 나노입자에 대한 분산도와 나노복합재료 생산성을 높일 수 있는 기초 재료를 제조하였다. 제조된 CNT 10 wt% 페이스트를 이용하여 손상 감지용 CNT 나노복합재료를 제조하여 균열에 대한 손상감지능과 균열 보강효과에 대한 영향을 연구하였다. CNT 10 wt% 페이스트를 이용하여 제조된 CNT 1 wt% 나노복합재는 일반 CNT 파우더를 이용하여 CNT 1 wt% 나노복합재료를 제조하였을 경우보다 인장과 굴곡물성이 높음을 확인하였다. CF30wt%/PP에 인위적인 균열을 제조하고, 균열부위에 CNT 나노복합재료를 보강하여 균열 및 파괴 발생 감지능을 균열크기에 따라 전기저항 측정법과 인장물성평가를 통해 분석하였다. CNT 나노복합재료를 균열 부위에 보강하여 CF30wt%/PP의 인장물성을 분석하였을 경우, 균열보강효과가 있었다. 균열크기가 증가함에 따라 CNT 나노복합재료의 보강효과의 증가되었다. 이는 CNT 나노복합재료와 CF30wt%/PP간의 접착면 증가로 균열전파를 지연하기 때문이다. CNT 나노복합재료의 손상감지능에 대해서는 전기저항 평가법으로 분석하였으며, 접착면에서의 분리로 인해 CNT 나노복합재료에 충격이 가해져 높은 전기저항 증가구간을 확인하였다. 손상감지용 CNT 나노복합재료의 균열방지효과와 손상감지에 대한 전기저항 평가법의 가능성을 확인하였다.

Photosensitive carbon nanotube (CNT) pastes are explored to develop a CNT field emitter for field emission display (FED) application. We formulated a photosensitive paste including multi-walled CNTs (MWNTs) for screen printing. The photosensitive CNT paste was synthesized by mixing of MWNTs, inorganic fillers (nano metal), organic vehicle, monomers and photo initiator. The CNT paste films were patterned by using backside exposure technique. The CNTs were strongly fixed on a cathode by formation of carbon residue during firing process. For the CNT emitters, current-voltage(I-V) characteristics and images of field emission were evaluated. The emission properties of CNT emitters are dependent on the paste composition. A turn-on electric field for the CNT field emitters is measured to be 1 V/$\mu$m. Additionally, the effect of heat treatment parameter on field emission properties was discussed. The newly formulated photosensitive CNT paste can be potentially applicable to highly reliable CNT field emitters.

CNT 보강 시멘트 페이스트의 침투 임계점은 자기감지 콘크리트의 감지 성능 극대화를 위한 최적 CNT 혼입량과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 하지만 침투임계점은 사용된 시멘트, CNT 그리고 물 시멘트 비에 따라 다양한 값을 가지며, 이를 얻기 위해서는 실험기반의 다수의 시행착오가 불가피하다. 이 연구는 CNT 보강 시멘트 페이스트의 침투 임계점 예측을 위한 침투 시뮬레이션 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 CNT 그리고 시멘트 특성을 사용하여 CNT 혼입량에 따른 침투를 시뮬레이션할 수 있으며, 이를 위해 응집된 CNT 입자 수 개념이 사용되었다. 침투 시뮬레이션 과정은 미수화 시멘트 페이스트 모델 형성, CNT 랜덤분산, 그리고 침투 조사의 순서로 구성된다. 시뮬레이션에는 물 시멘트 비가 0.4-0.6인 CNT 보강 시멘트 페이스트가 사용되었으며, 시뮬레이션 된 침투 임계점은 문헌 결과 대비 최대 7.5 %의 시뮬레이션 잔차율로 높은 정확도를 보였다.

A carbon-based hybrid resistor was fabricated using carbon nanotube (CNT) paste as an adhesive layer to establish electrically continuous ohmic contacts between CNT sheets and different CNT sheet or copper based metal alloy plates, and its electrical properties were evaluated. CNT sheets were fabricated using vacuum filtration with a CNT solution dispersed in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solvent. The electrical characteristics of these carbon-based hybrid resistors were investigated. The CNT paste fulfilled the requirements for forming ohmic contacts between CNT sheets and metal alloy plates, which was attributed to the lowest work function difference and excellent wettability at the interface.

The effects of paste materials on field emission properties in a carbon nanotube(CNT) cathode were investigated for high-efficient field emission displays. The major components in CNT paste for screen printing were a metallic Ag-paste, a dielectric glass-frit and CNT ink. The emission current from the cathode by an electron tunneling effect increased with an increase in the dielectric material fraction in the CNT paste, which is related to an increase of field enhancement factor in Fowler-Nordheim equation. The surface treatment used, after soft baking of the screen-printed CNT films, greatly affected the decrease in the turn-on field in CNT cathode and the uniformity of emission sites over the entire CNT film area.

Fabrication of dot-patterned carbon nanotube (CNT) emitters with excellent field emission properties using photo-sensitive CNT paste is described. The photosensitive CNT paste showed good photo-patternability, which led us to easily form $10-{\mu}m$-diameter dot arrays. We presented a parametric study on formulating the photo-sensitive paste and their resultant field emission characteristics.

Dot-patterned carbon nanotube (CNT) emitters with excellent field emission properties were fabricated using photosensitive CNT paste. We carried out a parametric study on the compositions and the fabrication processes of the paste, in particular, by ball milling CNTs, which were optimized in terms of dot shapes and their field emission characteristics. The ball milling process improved the field emission current of the dot-patterned CNT emitters several times higher than that of the non-milled paste.
