CNT pastes with different inorganic binder such as glass frit and spin on glass (SOG) were synthesized by using multi-walled nanotube (MWNT) grown by CVD. The uniformity of cathode layer after firing was enhanced and the emission current density at an applied field of 7.95V/${\mu}m$ increased from 133${\mu}A$/$cm^2$ to 265${\mu}A$/$cm^2$ when inorganic binder changed from glass frit to SOG. The emission properties of CNT pastes with SOG were stable and uniform although firing was carried out at relatively high temperature of 450$^{\circ}C$ under air. It is concluded that SOG is more suitable inorganic binder than glass frit for field emission application.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of the morphology of CNT on the thermal conductivity of suspensions. The effective thermal conductivities of the samples were measured using asteady-state cut bar apparatus method. Enhancements based on the thermal conductivity of the base fluid are presented as functions of both the volume fraction and the temperature, Although functionalized SWNT produiced a more stable and homogeneous suspension, the addition of small amounts of surfactant to suspensions of 'as produced' SWNT demonstrated a greater increase in effective thermal conductivity than functionalized SWNT alone. The effective thermal conductivity enhancement corresponding to 1.0 percent by volume approached 10%, which was observed to be lower than expected, but more than twice the values, 3.5%, obtained for similar tests conducted using aluminum oxide suspensions. However, for suspensions of MWNT, the degree of enhancement was measured to be approximately 37%. It was postulated that the effect of clustering, resulting from the multiple heat-flow passages constituted by interconnecting neighboring CNT clusters, played an important role in significant enhancement of effective thermal conductivity.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been regarded as a promising material for the fabrication of flexible conductors such as transparent electrodes, flexible heaters, and transparent speakers. In this study, a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) film was deposited on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using a spraying technique. MWCNTs were dispersed in water using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). To evaluate the effect of the weight ratio between SDS and MWCNTs on the electromechanical properties of the film, direct tensile tests and optical strain measurement were conducted. It was found that the CNT film hardly affected the mechanical behavior of CNT/PET composite films, while the electrical behavior of the CNT film was strongly affected by the SDS concentration in the CNT film. The electrical resistance of CNT/PET films gradually increased with the strain applied to the PET substrate, even up to a large strain that ruptured the substrate.

Spherical Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ and Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ carbon nanotube (CNT) composites were synthesized using a colloid system. The electrochemical properties of the composites were thoroughly examined to determine their applicability as hybrid capacitor anodes. The electrical conductivity of the spherical Li₄Ti₅O₁₂-CNT composite was improved over that of the spherical Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ composite. The synthesized composites were utilized as the anode of a hybrid capacitor, which was assembled with an activated carbon (AC) positive electrode. The CNTs attached on the spherical Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ particles contributed to a 51% reduction of the equivalent series of resistance of the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂-CNTs/AC hybrid capacitor compared to the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/AC hybrid capacitor. Moreover, the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂-CNTs/AC hybrid capacitor showed a larger capacitance than the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/AC hybrid capacitor; specifically, the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂-CNT/AC hybrid capacitor showed 1.6 times greater capacitance at 40 cycles with a 10 mA cm⁻² loading current density.

This paper presents an overview of the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes. The characteristics of carbon nanotubes were briefly introduced. We then present briefly the experimental techniques used to measure mechanical properties and the results obtained by other researchers. A carbon nanotube is too small to be pulled apart with standard tension devices. Manipulators should be used for mechanical testing. We introduced manipulation methods using nanomanipulators under field-emission scanning-electron microscope.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with few defects and very small amount of amorphous carbon coating have been synthesized by catalytic decomposition of methane in $H_2$ over well-dispersed metal particles supported on MgO. The yield of SWCNTs was estimated to be 88.5% and the purities of SWCNTs thus obtained were more than 90%. Peak of the radial breathing mode in the Raman spectrum demonstrated that the diameters of synthesized CNTs are in the range 0.4-2.0 nm. Our results also indicated that MgO support materials are useful to a large-scale synthesis of high-quality SWCNTs. Increasing temperature could remarkably increase the yield and also improve the quality of SWCNTs from catalytic decomposition of methane. The morphologies and microstructures of the synthesized carbon materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

The field emission and luminescent properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that were straightened by argon ion irradiation were investigated. Argon ion irradiation permanently straightened both as-grown and screen-printed CNTs (SP-CNTs) in the presence of a strong electric field. The straightening process enhanced the emission properties of as-grown CNT films by showing a decrease in turn-on field, an increase in total emission current, and a stable emission. Recurring problems associated with SP-CNTs, such as bent or/and buried CNTs and the degradation in binder-residue-induced emission, were improved by the permanent straightening of CNTs and protruding CNTs from binders by the irradiation treatment, in addition to its surface cleaning effect. Furthermore, we confirmed that the number of emission sites increases by observing the luminescent properties of CNT films after the straightening. These findings here suggest that ion irradiation treatment is an effective method for achieving uniform field emission and to reduce the electrical aging time.

In this paper, we report the sensing performance of H₂ gas sensors composed of Pd/carbon nanotube (CNT) buckypaper at room temperature. The CNT buckypaper was made using a simple filtration process and subsequently deposited with Pd as the sensing material. The sensitivity of the sensor increased with respect to the gas concentration. To investigate the effect of Pd thickness, Pd layers of different thickness were deposited on the buckypaper, and the response of the sensor was evaluated. The proposed sensor exhibits excellent sensing properties with optimized Pd thickness at room temperature (25℃). Pd nanoparticles significantly impact the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor because of the spillover effect. In addition, the sensor is highly suitable for bendable and wearable devices owing to its structural flexibility.

Carbon nanotubes(CNT) has chemical stability and great sensitivity characteristics. In particular, the gas sensor required characteristics such as rapid, selectivity and sensitivity sensor. Therefore, CNT are ideal materials to gas sensor. So, we fabricated the NOx gas sensors of MOS-FET type using the MWCNT (multi-walled carbon nanotube). The fabricated sensor was used to detect the NOx gas for the variation of $V_{gs}$(gate-source voltage) and electrode changed electrode spacing=30, 60, 90[${\mu}m$]. The gas sensor absorbed with the NOx gas molecules showed the decrease of resistance, and the sensitivity of sensor was increased by magnification of electrode spacing. Furthermore, when the voltage($V_{gs}$) was applied to the gas sensor, the decrease in resistance was increased. On the other hand, the sensor sensitivity for the injection of NOx gas was the highest value at the electrode spacing $90[{\mu}m]$. We also obtained the adsorption energy($U_a$) using the Arrhenius plots by the reduction of resistance due to the voltage variations. As a result, we obtained that the adsorption energy was increased with the increment of the applied voltages.

카본나노튜브는 상용되는 기존의 센서에 비해 표면적이 넓어 감도가 놀고 응답속도가 빠르다. 또한 나노 스케일의 크기를 가지므로 고직접화를 실현할 수 있으며 기능복구성이 뛰어나 상온동작을 통한 저전력화가 가능하다. 본 실험에서는 아크방전법으로 합성한 카본나노튜브를 가스센서로 제작하여 상온에서 NH$_3$, NO 가스와의 반응 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 origin soot와 이를 정제한 purified CNT를 SEM(주사전자현미경), TEM(투과전자현미경), Raman scattering spectroscopy(라만 산란 분광기)를 통해 재료적 특성을 조사하고 이를 가스 감응 곡선과 연관하여 비교, 분석하였다. 전극에 CNT막을 형성시키기 위해 3g의 N,N dimethylformamide 용액에 CNT 10mg을 분산시킨 후 2시간동안 초음파 처리하였다. 이 용액을 mask를 이용해 전극 위에 막을 형성시킨 후 20$0^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하였다. 이렇게 제조된 origin soot와 purified CNT센서는 flow system을 이용하여 측정하였고 $N_2$분위기 하에서 센서를 안정화시킨 후 측정가스와의 반응을 살펴보았다 센서의 반응속도, 회복속도, 감도 등의 측정결과 origin soot는 NH$_3$ 25ppm에서 20%, purified CNT는 1%의 감도를 보여 20배 높은 감도를 보았다. NO 25ppm의 경우에도 origin soot가 8%, purified CNT는 0.8%의 감도를 보여 10배 높은 감도를 보였다. 이는 탄소입자가 많은 origin soot가 purified CNT 보다 표면적이 넓어 보다 많은 가스 흡착 싸이트를 가지기 때문이다. 하지만 origin soot는 반응시간과 회복속도가 Purified CNT 보다 2배 이상 느려 표면적 증가에 따른 가스 흡착과 탈착 능력이 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 CNT와 가스사이의 전하 이동 방향에 따라 NH$_3$는 양의 감도를 NO는 음의 감도를 보였다 이는 전하의 이동 방향에 따라 전하와 캐리어 사이의 결합 및 해리가 일어나게 되고 결국 카본나노튜브 내의 캐리어 수를 증감시킴에 따라 나타나는 현상이다. 이러한 가스의 감도는 농도에 따라 증가하였으며 origin soot를 이용하여 1ppm이하의 NH$_3$ 가스를 검출할 수 있었다.
