Transparent electrodes for a flexible display based on the liquid crystal (LC) were formed by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. The thin multi wall carbon nanotubes (t-MWNTs) networks for electrodes were obtained by filtration- transfer method from welldispersed CNTs solution.

In this work, the hydrogen storage behaviors of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/metal-organic frameworks-5 (MOF-5) hybrid composites (CNTs/MOF-5) were studied. Hydrothermal synthesis of MOF-5 was conducted by conventional convection heating using 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent. Morphological characteristics and average size of the CNTs/MOF-5 were also obtained using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The pore structure and specific surface area of the CNTs/MOF-5 were analyzed by N2/77 K adsorption isotherms. The capacity of hydrogen storage of the CNTs/MOF-5 was investigated at 298 K/100 bar. As a result, the CNTs/MOF-5 had crystalline structures which were formed by hybrid synthesis process. It was noted that the CNTs/MOF-5 can be potentially encouraging materials for hydrogen adsorption and storage applications at room temperature.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are vertically grown inside high-aspect-ratio vertical pores of anodized aluminum oxide. A CNT catalyst layer is introduced by atomic layer deposition to the bottom of the pores, after which the CNTs are successfully grown from the layer using chemical vapor deposition. The CNTs formed a complete vertical conductive path. The conductivity of the CNT-vertical path is also measured and discussed. The present atomic layer deposition-incorporated catalyst deposition is predicted to enable the integration of CNTs with various challenging configurations, including high-aspect-ratio vertical channels or vertical interconnects.

This paper reports a change of carbon nanotubes(CNTs) properties by post-treatment process after growth of CNTs. CNTs were treated by thermal method and solution method, and then investigated in detail using field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), high resolution transmission scanning electron microscopy(HR-TEM), RAMAN spectroscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR). FT-IR spectra showed that the amount of hydroxyl generated on surface of CNTs were changed with post-treatment condition. FE-SEM and TEM images were shown CNTs diameter and density variations were dependent with their treatment conditions. RAMAN spectroscopy was shown that carbon nanotubes structure vary with treatment conditions.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are increasingly attracting scientific and industrial interest because of their outstanding characteristics, such as a high Young's modulus and tensile strength, low density, and excellent electrical and thermal properties. The incorporation of CNTs into polymer matrices greatly improves the electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties of the materials. Surface modification of CNTs can improve their processibility and dispersion within the composites. This paper aims to review the surface modification of CNTs, processing technologies, and mechanical and electrical properties of CNT-based epoxy composites.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been significantly used for the field emitters for display applications. However, the lifetime of CNT emitters which are formed by screen printing technique is not guaranteed yet, because the constituents in CNT paste affect the lifetime of CNTs. The CNT pastes for screen printing are normally composed of organic vehicles (nitro cellulose, ethyl cellulose, etc) and additives (glass frits, indium tin oxide (ITO), etc) with CNTs. In this study, the effects of constituents in CNT pastes on the lifetime and emission characteristics of CNTs were investigated by thermal and electrical analysis. Use of glass frits worsened the lifetime and electron emission of CNTs. However, an addition of ITO to CNT paste rather improved the lifetime of CNTs. Degradation of CNTs was small when nitro cellulose was used in CNT paste as an organic vehicle.

본 연구에서는 di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoric acid (D2EHPA)와 carbon nanotubes (CNTs)를 polysulfone (PSf)에 고정화시켜 PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드를 제조하였으며, 제조한 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거특성을 살펴보았다. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) 및 Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) 분석을 통하여 PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드의 형태적 특성들을 조사하였다. PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거는 운전시간 60 min 정도에서 평형에 도달하였으며, 속도 실험결과는 유사 2차 속도식에 잘 부합하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거에서 Langmuir 식으로부터 구한 최대 제거량은 4.75 mg/g이었다. PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거효율은 추출제 D2EHPA 만을 사용하는 경우보다 CNTs를 첨가함으로써 Sr(II)의 제거량이 2.5배 정도 향상되는 결과를 보였다.

The effect of $H_2$ gas on the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) synthesis with CO-$H_2$ gas mixture was investigated using mass measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The maximum weight and yield of the synthesized carbon were obtained when the mixture ratio of $H_2$: CO was 3 : 7 and 9 : 1, respectively. In case of 100% carbon monoxide (CO) without hydrogen ($H_2$) addition, the weight of carbon increased, but CNTs were not observed. The CNTs began to be made when the contents of $H_2$ reaches at least 10%, their structures became more distinct with an increase of $H_2$ addition, and then the shapes of CNTs were more thin and straight. When the contents of $H_2$ was 80% ($H_2$ : CO = 8 : 2), the shapes and growth of CNTs showed an optimal condition. On the other hand, when the contents of $H_2$ was higher than the critical value, the shapes of CNTs became worse due to transition into inactive surface of catalyst. It was considered that the inactive surface of catalyst resulted from decrease of carbon (C) and $H_2$ concentration by facilitation of methane ($CH_4$) gasification reaction (C + 2$H_2$ ${\rightarrow}$ $CH_4$) between C and $H_2$ gases. It was also found that H2 addition had an influence considerably on the shape and structure of CNTs.

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been produced using various type of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Catalysts such as Ni, Co, and Fe are used for growth of CNTs. To explain the effect of catalysts on the growth characteristics of CNTs, carbon species of $C_2H_2$ was observed in different catalysts using optical emission spectroscopy (OES) with theoretical calculation on the surface reaction in different catalysts.

The cryogenic ball milling was performed on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at an extremely low temperature to increase the dispersion of CNTs. The effects of milling speed and time on the deagglomeration and structural changes of CNTs were studied. FESEM was used to analyze the dispersion and the change of particle size before and after milling process. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analysis was also investigated the effect of cryogenic ball milling on the morphological characteristics of CNTs. The structural changes by the cryogenic ball milling process were further confirmed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopic analysis. The results showed that the agglomeration of CNTs was significantly reduced and amorphous structure was observed at high milling speed. However, the milling time has no great effect on the dispersion property and structural change of CNTs compared with milling speed.
