Using materials with high thermal conductivity is a matter of great concern in the field of thermal management. In this study, we present our experimental results on an important physical property of carbon nanotube (CNT) films, two-dimensional thermal conductivity obtained by using an optical method based on Raman spectroscopy. We prepared four kinds of CNT films to investigate the effect of CNT type on heat spreading performance of films. This first comparative study using the optical method shows that the arc-discharge single-walled carbon nanotubes yield the best heat spreading film. And we observed thermal conductivity values of CNT films with various transmittances and found that the Raman method works as long as the sample is a transparent film. This study provides useful information on characterization of thermal conduction in transparent CNT films and could be an important step toward high-performance carbon-based heat spreading films.

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 photopatternability, 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.

Carbon nanotube (CNT) cathodes having a trench structure similar to the structure of the gated triodetype cathode were successfully fabricated by a screenprinting method with multi-walled carbon nanotubes. We observed that a liquid method not only readily removes the organic residues on the CNT films, but also satisfactorily protrudes the CNTs out of the electrode surface. The CNT cathodes prepared by the liquid method showed a turned-on field of $1.4\;V/{\mu}m$. The emission current density of them was about $3.1\;mA/cm^2$ at the electric field of $3\; V/{\mu}m$. The liquid method appears to be a promising surface treatment of CNT cathode for gated triode-type FEDs applications.

In this paper, we present modeling and characterization of CNT-based TSVs to be used in high-frequency RF applications. We have developed an integrated model of CNT-based TSVs by incorporating the quantum confinement effects of CNTs with the kinetic inductance phenomenon at high frequencies. Substrate parasitics have been appropriately modeled as a monolithic microwave capacitor with the resonant line technique using a two-polynomial equation. Different parametric variations in the model have been outlined as case studies. Furthermore, electrical performance and signal integrity analysis on different cases have been used to determine the optimized configuration for CNT-based TSVs for high frequency RF applications.

In this paper, novel Carbon Nanotube Gate-Elongated Tunneling Field Transistor(CNT G-E TFET) is proposed. This proposed device is designed to decrease off-current around 2~6 orders of magnitude compared to the gate-channel size matched TFET. Mechanism of CNT G-E TFET creates additional steps in energy band structure so that off-current can be reduced. Since CNT TFETs show a great probability for tunneling processes and they are beneficial for the overall device performance in terms of switching speed and power consumption, CNT G-E TFET looks pretty much promising.

Here we describe the formation of a self-assembled film of thin multiwalled carbon Nanotubes(t-MWNT) modified with hydroxy groups through hydrogen peroxide treatment. Morphologies of t-MWNT films could be controlled by the various coating method, such as filtering, drop casting, spraying method, etc. The results show that on densification of the CNT suspension during drying, multiple hydroxy group-modified MWNTs can be self-assembled through strong surface hydrogen bond interaction while MWNTs usually exist an entangled state in the film. The interaction between t-MWNT was illustrated from Raman spectrum of spray coated films.

In this paper, we investigated resistant immunity of semiconductive shield materials in power cables' ordinary operation temperature. It used EEA(Ethylene Ethyl Acrylate) in base polymer and measured TGA(Thermal Gravimetric Analysis) in controlling contents. It increased pyrolysis temperature in content increasement of CNT(Carbon Nanotubes). As a result, we knew superiority that CNT:CB is 10:0.

The effect of hydrogen and oxygen plasma treatments on the structural properties of carbon nanotube(CNT) has been systematically investigated. As the plasma power was increased, nano particles were appeared at the surface of CNTs. At high plasma power(300 Watt), the structure of CNT was changed from nanotube type to nano particles. However, in case of hydrogen plasma treatment, there was no change in microstructure of CNT. From the Raman analysis, the crystallinity of CNT was deteriorated by the plasma treatment, regardless of gas types.

탄소나노튜브(CNT)는 나노미터의 직경과 마이크로미터의 길이를 갖는 기하학적 구조와 우수한 전계방출 특성으로 디지털 엑스선 소스와 같은 차세대 전자소스 소자에 활용되고 있다. 본 발표에서는 고밀착성의 CNT 에미터와 진공 브레이징 공정 개발을 기초로 설계, 제작된 CNT 기반 디지털 엑스선 튜브에 대해서 논의한다. 나노 필러를 함유한 페이스트를 제조하여 캐소드 기판에 대한 CNT 에미터의 밀착성을 향상시켰으며, 진공 브레이징을 고온에서 최적화함으로써 진공 밀봉된 엑스선 튜브내의 진공도를 안정적으로 확보하였다. 유방암 진단을 위한 디지털 단층합성 시스템용으로 50 mA 이상의 고전류 엑스선 튜브를 제작함과 아울러 근접 암치료 또는 강내형 엑스선 영상용으로 6 mm 이하의 직경을 갖는 초소형 엑스선 튜브를 제작하였다. 개발된 CNT 기반 엑스선 튜브는 우수한 안정성과 신뢰성을 보이며, 에너지와 강도를 쉽게 제어할 수 있는 디지털 특성도 잘 나타냈다.

Maleated ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (MEPDM) was prepared from solution polymerization of EPDM and maleic anhydride. MEPDM-grafted-poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) copolymer (MEPDM-g-PDMS) was prepared from copolymerization of MEPDM with $\alpha$,$\omega$-hydroxyl group terminated PDMS. The MEPDM-g-PDMS was compounded with HDPE and 4-ethoxybenzoic acid modified MWCNT at $180^{\circ}C$ and positive temperature coefficient (PCT) behavior of the MWCNT composite was investigated. Surface modification of MWCNT enabled it to be more uniformly dispersed in polymer matrix and decreased aggregation of particles. Electrical resistivity of the composite was abruptly increased at melting temperature and PTC intensity of 2.3 was obtained at 15% loading of surface modified CNT.
