The present paper focuses on the fabrication of materials with higher thermal conductivity. Nanofluid is a novel transfer prepared by dispersing nanometer-sized solid particles in traditional heat transfer fluid to increase thermal conductivity and heat transfer performance. The purpose of this study is making the nano-size particle. The experiment of MWCNT and $Al_2O_3$ was carried out using a planetary ball mill at several rotation speeds: 200 ~ 400 rpm. The results were examined using scanning electron microscope(SEM). In the case of the MWCNT, it could be more grinding into the small particle in the dry condition and it confirm in the case of the $Al_2O_3$ to be more grinding into the small particle contrary to the MWCNT in the wet condition. In the mixture grinding result of MWCNT and $Al_2O_3$, the dry condition showed the good result in low rotation speed than the wet condition.

Carbon nanotube-copper composite structures were fabricated using composite plating method and their field emission characteristics were investigated. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) synthesized by chemical vapor deposition were used in the present study. It was revealed that turn-on field was about $3.0\;V/{\mu}m$ with the current density of $0.1\;{\mu}A/cm^2.$ We observed relatively uniform emission characteristics as well as stable emission current Carbon nanotube-copper composite plating method is efficient and it has no intrinsic limit on the deposition area. Moreover, it gives strong adhesion between emitters and an electrode. Therefore, we recommend that carbon nanotube-copper composite plating method can be applied to fabricate electron field emitters for large area FEDs and large area vacuum lighting sources.

Quantitative measurement of chloride ion concentration has an important role in various fields of electrochemistry, medical science, biology, metallurgy, architecture, etc. Among them, its importance of architecture is ever-growing due to unexpected degradations of building structure. These situations are caused by corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) structure of buildings. And chloride ions are the most powerful factors of RC structure corrosion. Therefore, precise inspection of chloride ion concentration must be required to increase the accuracy of durability monitoring. Multi-walled Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have high chemical resistivity, large surface area and superior electrical property. Thus, it is suitable for the channels of electrical signals made by the sensor. Silver nanoparticles were added to giving the sensing property. CuBTC, one of the metal organic frameworks (MOFs), was employed as a material to improve the sensing property because of its hydrophilicity and high surface area to volume ratio. In this study, sensing element was synthesized by various chemical reaction procedures. At first, MWCNTs were functionalized with a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid because of enhancement of solubility in solution and surface activation. And functionalized MWCNTs, silver nanoparticles, and CuBTC were synthesized on PTFE membrane, one by one. Electroless deposition process was performed to deposit the silver nanoparticles. CuBTC was produced by room temperature synthesis. Surface morphology and composition analysis were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was also performed to confirm the existence of sensing materials. The electrical properties of sensor were measured by semiconductor analyzer. The chloride ion sensing characteristics were confirmed with the variation of the resistance at 1 V.

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) emitter has widely become an attractive mechanism that draws growing interests for cold cathode field emission.$^{1,2}$ CNT yarns have demonstrated its potential as excellent field emitters.$^3$ Extensive simulations were carried out in designing a CNT yarn-based cathode assembly. The focal spot size dependence on the anode surface of the geometric parameters such as axial distance of the electrostatic focus lens from the cathode and the applied bias voltages at the cathode, grid mesh and electrostatic focus lens were studied. The detailed computer simulations using Opera 3D electromagnetic software$^4$ had revealed that a remarkable size of focal spot under a focusing lens triode type set-up design was achieved. The result of this optimization simulation would then be applied for the construction of the CNT yarn based micro-focus x-ray tube with its field emission characteristics evaluated.

A $TiO_2$/CNT nanohybrid photocatalyst is synthesized via sol-gel route, with titanium (IV) isopropoxide and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as the starting materials. The microstructures and phase constitution of the nanohybrid $TiO_2$/CNT (0.005wt%) samples after calcination at $450^{\circ}C$, $550^{\circ}C$ and $650^{\circ}C$ in air are compared with those of pure $TiO_2$ using field-emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of the nanohybrid is compared with that of pure $TiO_2$ with regard to the degradation of methyl orange under visible light irradiation. The $TiO_2$/CNT composite exhibits a fast grain growth and phase transformation during calcination. The nanocomposite shows enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation in comparison to pure $TiO_2$ owing to not only better adsorption capability of CNT but also effective electron transfer between $TiO_2$ and CNTs. However, the high calcination temperature of $650^{\circ}C$, regardless of addition of CNT, causes a decrease in photocatalytic activity because of grain growth and phase transformation to rutile. These results such as fast phase transformation to rutile and effective electron transfer are related to carbon doping into $TiO_2$.

본 연구에서는 폴리아크릴레이트/카본나노튜브 복합체를 제조하고 전극재료로서의 응용가능성을 알아보았다. 복합체의 전기전도도는 MWNT의 함량에 따라 증가하였고 시트의 두께가 두꺼워 질수록 증가하였으며 MWNT 50 wt% 함량에서 0.36 ${\Omega}$/sq의 표면저항값이 얻어졌다. 복합체의 열분해온도는 폴리아크릴레이트에 비해 MWNT의 함량에 따라 증가하였으며 50 wt%의 MWNT 복합체 함량에서 $15^{\circ}C$의 증가가 관찰되었다. 복합체의 저장탄성율의 경우도 MWNT의 함량에 따라 증가하였고 특히, 고온에서의 증가가 뚜렷하였다. 폴리아크릴레이트의 열팽창거동은 온도의 증가에 따라 $20^{\circ}C$ 부근부터 수축이 된 반면, 복합체의 경우는 수축되지 않고 약간 팽창하는 경향을 보였다. 복합체의 형태학을 관찰한 결과 폴리아크릴레이트 내에서 MWNT의 분산이 잘 이루어 진 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 유리섬유, 탄소섬유 및 유리섬유-탄소섬유 복합재에 MWCNT층을 삽입하는 경우 복합재의 전자파차폐 물성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 유리섬유 복합재의 경우, $200mm{\times}200mm$ 면적에 0.1~0.2 g의 MWCNT를 도포했을 때 (1.8~3.6 ${\mu}m$ 두께) 전자파차폐효과가 현격히 증가함을 발견하였다. 아울러, 두개 이상의 MWCNT층을 삽입하는 경우, 이들을 분산배치 하는 것 보다는 복합재 중앙에 집중배치 하는 것이 더 효과적이었다. 반면, 탄소섬유 및 유리섬유-탄소섬유 복합재의 경우, MWCNT층이 전자파차폐효과에 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다. MWCNT를 비롯한 탄소나노소재를 전자파차폐용 소재로 효과적으로 활용하기 위해서는, 탄소나노소재의 첨가에 의한 다양한 전자파차폐 메커니즘 간 상관관계를 이해하는 것이 중요하다.

The modification of ultrafiltration membranes with carbon nanotube (CNT) buckypaper on fouling control was investigated. Two types of commercially available flat-sheet membranes were used: PS35 and PES900C/D (PES) (the PS35 membranes were hydrophilic with a molecular weight cutoff of 20 kDa, and the PES membranes were hydrophobic with a molecular weight cutoff of 20 kDa). The CNT buckypaper modified ultrafiltration membranes were prepared by filtering a CNT suspension through the flat-sheet membrane in a dead-end ultrafiltration unit. After modification, the pure water flux of PES was significantly increased, while the pure water flux of PS35 was decreased. The properties of the CNT modified membranes were also investigated. Considering the antifouling properties, pure water flux of the modified membrane, and the stability of CNT buckypaper layer on the membrane surface, ethanol solution with a concentration of 50 wt.%, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with a larger diameter (30-50 nm), and the CNT loading with $7.5g/m^2$ was selected. The CNT buckypaper on the surface of ultrafiltration membranes can trap the pollutants in sewage effluent and prevent them reaching the surface of virgin membranes. Water quality analysis showed that the effluent quality of the modified membrane was obviously improved. The removal efficiency of humic acid and protein-like matters by the modified membrane was significant. These results indicate the potential application of the CNT buckypaper layer modified membranes in the field of wastewater reclaim.
