탄소나노튜브는 1차원의 구조에 기인하는 우수한 물리적, 전기적 특성으로 인해 다양한 분야에 응용 가능한 물질로 각광받고 있다. 특히, 수직 정렬된 단일벽 탄소나노튜브의 합성은 향상된 특성들을 기대할 수 있으며 다양한 분야로 활용가능하다. 본 연구에서는 열 화학기상증착법을 이용하여 합성과정에서 촉매층의 두께, 아세틸렌 가스의 주입량, 합성온도의 변화가 탄소나 노튜브의 길이와 직경에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 위와 같은 조건에서의 촉매의 구조변화에 초점을 두어 이러한 현상을 이해하고자 하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 합성조건을 최적화하여 수백 ${\mu}m$ 길이의 결정성이 우수한 수직 정렬된 단일벽 탄소나노튜브를 합성하였다.

본 연구에서는 grand canonical 몬테카를로 전산모사 방법을 이용하여 정사각형 배열을 가지는 단일벽나노튜브에서 나노튜브의 직경과 가장 가까운 튜브들 사이의 거리의 함수로써 수소의 흡착특성을 연구하였다. 그리고 동일한 직경과 간격을 가지는 삼각형 배열을 이용하여 기하학에 대한 영향도 연구하였다. 수소-탄소 그리고 수소-수소의 인력은 단거리 인력의 경우 Lennard-Jones 포텐셜을 사용하였고, 수소-수소의 경우는 정전기적 인력을 저온에서의 양자효과를 고려하기 위해 추가하였다. 194.5 K에서 큰 직경을 가지는 단일벽나노튜브의 경우 Type I과 넓은 간격을 가지는 나노튜브의 경우 흡착과 탈착과정에서 Type IV의 흡착 등온선이 관찰되었다. 200 bar에서 단일벽나노튜브의 중량 수소저장 능력은 미국 에너지부의 목표치에 도달하거나 초과하였다. 그러나 부피 수소저장 능력은 목표치의 약 70%에 해당하였다. 77 K에서는 단일층 형성과 이후 응축 단계가 따르는 두 단계의 흡착이 관찰되었다. 수소는 나노튜브의 내부 표면, 외부 표면, 관 내부의 공간 그리고 나노튜브 다발 사이의 틈새 채널의 순서로 흡착하였다. 1 bar 이하에서도 여러 가지 직경과 간격을 가지는 탄소나노튜브는 중량 그리고 부피 저장 능력이 모두 목표치를 초과하였다.

This work examines vibration and bending response of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite plates resting on the Pasternak elastic foundation. Four types of distributions of uni-axially aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes are considered to reinforce the plates. Analytical solutions determined from mathematical formulation based on hyperbolic shear deformation plate theory are presented in this study. An accuracy of the proposed theory is validated numerically by comparing the obtained results with some available ones in the literature. Various considerable parameters of carbon nanotube volume fraction, spring constant factors, plate thickness and aspect ratios, etc. are considered in the present investigation. According to the numerical examples, it is revealed that the vertical displacement of the plates is found to diminish as the increase of foundation parameters; while, the natural frequency increase as the increment of the parameters for every type of plate.

The effects of the field emission property in relation to the surface morphology and adhesion force were investigated. The single-wall-nanotube-based cathode was obtained by use of an in-situ arc discharge synthesis method, a screen-printing method and a spray method. The morphologies of the formed emitter layers were very different. The emission stability and uniformity were dramatically improved by employing an in-situ arc discharge synthesis method. In this study, it was confirmed that the current stability and uniformity of the field emission of the cathode depend on the surface morphology and adhesion force of the emitters. The current stability of the field emission device was also studied through an electrical aging process by varying the current and electric field.

We demonstrated the sensitivity of optically active single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with a diameter below 1 nm that were homogeneously dispersed in cement composites under a mechanical load. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was selected as the dispersing agent to achieve a homogeneous dispersion of SWCNTs in an aqueous solution, and the dispersion state of the SWCNTs were characterized using various optical tools. It was found that the addition of a large amount of DNA prohibited the structural evolution of calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate hydrate. Based on the in-situ Raman and X-ray diffraction studies, it was evident that hydrophilic functional groups within the DNA strongly retarded the hydration reaction. The optimum amount of DNA with respect to the cement was found to be 0.05 wt%. The strong Raman signals coming from the SWCNTs entrapped in the cement composites enabled us to understand their dispersion state within the cement as well as their interfacial interaction. The G and G' bands of the SWCNTs sensitively varied under mechanical compression. Our results indicate that an extremely small amount of SWCNTs can be used as an optical strain sensor if they are homogeneously dispersed within cement composites.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are attractive for field emitter because of their outstanding electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties. Several applications using CNTs as field emitters have been demonstrated such as field emission display (FED), backlight unit (BLU), and X-ray source. In this study, we fabricated a CNT cathode using transparent ultra-thin CNT film. First, CNT aqueous solution was prepared by ultrasonically dispersing purified single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in deionized water with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). To obtain the CNT film, the CNT solution in a milliliter or even several tens of micro-litters was deposited onto a porous alumina membrane through vacuum filtration process. Thereafter, the alumina membrane was solvated by the 3 M NaOH solution and the floating CNT film was easily transferred to an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) glass substrate of $0.5\times0.5cm^2$ with a film mask. The transmittance of as-prepared ultra-thin CNT films measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometer was 68~97%, depending on the amount of CNTs dispersed in an aqueous solution. Roller activation, which is a essential process to improve the field emission characteristics of CNT films, increased the UV-Vis transmittance up to 93~98%. This study presents SEM morphology of CNT emitters and their field emission properties according to the concentration of CNTs in an aqueous solutions. Since the ultra-thin CNT emitters prepared from the solutions show a high peak current density of field emission comparable to that of the paste-base CNT emitters and do not contain outgassing sources such as organic binders, they are considered to be very promising for small-size-but-high-end applications including X-ray sources and microwave power amplifiers.

본 연구에서 우리는 single walled carbon nanotube(SWNT) 용액 속의 TEOS와 VTMS 바인더가 나노튜브 센서의 감도의 증가와 선택성을 가지는 것에 대해서 조사하였다. 일반적으로 혼합된 SWNT 용액 속의 유기 화합물인 바인더는 기판에 잘 부착된다. 그리고 가수분해 된 바인더의 표면에는 바인더가 경화 되었을 때 기능화 된 하나의 그룹이 형성된다. 그것은 SWNT의 표면에 가수분해 된 TEOS와 VTMS의 -OH와 $-CH=CH_2$ 같이 기능화된 그룹이다. 그러므로 전하는 carbon nanotube와 흡착된 분자 사이에서 이동되고 그에 대한 영향으로 전기적인 전도성이 변화한다. 이 실험에서 증가되어지는 알콜 농도에 따라 TEOS 바인더를 사용한 센서의 저항은 감소하는 반면 VTMS 바인더를 사용한 센서의 저항은 증가한다.

Current investigation deals with the thermal stability characteristics of carbon nanotube reinforced composite beams (CNTRC) on elastic foundation and subjected to external uniform temperature rise loading. The single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are supposed to have a distribution as being uniform or functionally graded form. The material properties of the matrix as well as reinforcements are presumed to be temperature dependent and evaluated through the extended rule of mixture which incorporates efficiency parameters to capture the size dependency of the nanocomposite properties. The governing differential equations are achieved based on the minimum total potential energy principle and Euler-Bernoulli beam model. The obtained results are checked with the available data in the literature. Numerical results are supplied to examine the effects of numerous parameters including length to thickness ratio, elastic foundations, temperature change, and nanotube volume fraction on the thermal stability behaviors of FG-CNT beams.

The aim of this present research is the effect of the higher-order terms of the governing equation on the forced longitudinal vibration of a nanorod model and making comparisons of the results with classical nonlocal elasticity theory. For this purpose, the free axial vibration along with forced one under the two various linear and harmonic axial concentrated forces in zigzag Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) are analyzed dynamically. Three various theories containing the classical theory, which is called Eringen's nonlocal elasticity, along with Rayleigh and Bishop theories (higher-order theories) are established to justify the nonlocal behavior of constitutive relations. The governing equation and the related boundary conditions are derived from Hamilton's principle. The assumed modes method is adopted to solve the equation of motion. For the free axial vibration, the natural frequencies are calculated for the various values of the nonlocal parameter only based on Eringen's theory. The effects of the nonlocal parameter, thickness, length, and ratio of the excitation frequency to the natural frequency over time in dimensional and non-dimensional axial displacements are investigated for the first time.

We show that carbon nanotube sensors with gold particles on the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) network operate as Schottky barrier transistors, in which transistor action occurs primarily by varying the resistance of Au-SWNT junction rather than the channel conductance modulation. Transistor characteristics are calculated for the statistically simplified geometries, and the sensing mechanisms are analyzed by comparing the simulation results of the MOSFET model and Schottky junction model with the experimental data. We demonstrated that the semiconductor MOSFET effect cannot explain the experimental phenomena such as the very low limit of detection (LOD) and the logarithmic dependence of sensitivity to the DNA concentration. By building an asymmetric concentric-electrode model which consists of serially-connected segments of CNTFETs and Schottky diodes, we found that for a proper explanation of the experimental data, the work function shifts should be ~ 0.1 eV for 100 pM DNA concentration and ~ 0.4 eV for $100{\mu}M$.
