This paper based on Sanders theory aims to investigate the vibration of SWCNTs considering the clamped-simply supported, clamped-free, clamped-clamped and simply supported-simply supported end conditions. After developing the governing equation of the objective system, the Rayleigh-Ritz technique is implemented for the purpose of obtaining the frequency equation in the eigen form. In addition, the applicability of this model for the analysis of vibration of CNTs is examined with the effect of length and ratio of height-to-radius. A detailed description of different types of SWCNTs with different indices is provided in the theoretical methodology. The effect of extended length is stimulated with increasing the radii and the model is effective because it also predicts the effect of thickness on vibration of SWCNTs. For different boundary conditions, the present results are verified with earlier literature.

The aim of the paper is to analyze nonlinear transverse vibration of an embedded piezoelectric plate reinforced with single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The system in rested in a Pasternak foundation. The micro-electro-mechanical model is employed to calculate mechanical and electrical properties of nanocomposite. Using nonlinear strain-displacement relations and considering charge equation for coupling between electrical and mechanical fields, the motion equations are derived based on energy method and Hamilton's principle. These equations can't be solved analytically due to their nonlinear terms. Hence, differential quadrature method (DQM) is employed to solve the governing differential equations for the case when all four ends are clamped supported and free electrical boundary condition. The influences of the elastic medium, volume fraction and orientation angle of the SWCNTs reinforcement and aspect ratio are shown on frequency of structure. The results indicate that with increasing volume fraction of SWCNTs, the frequency increases. This study might be useful for the design and smart control of nano/micro devices such as MEMS and NEMS.

This paper provides the free vibrations of chiral carbon nanotubes. The governing equations of Flügge theory is considered for vibration frequencies of chiral single walled carbon nanotubes. The solution of frequency equation is obtained from a novel model for better representation of stubby and short vibration characteristics of chiral tubes with clamped-clamped and clamped-simply supported end conditions. For the harmonic response of this tube, the model displacement function is adopted. The variational approach Rayleigh-Ritz method with kinetic and strain energies are used. The Lagragian function is differentiated with respect to unknown functions. The frequency equation is written in compact form to solve with MATLAB software. The frequencies of chiral SWCNTs for first ten aspect ratios as small level are investigated. The results shown as for decreasing the aspect rations, the frequencies are increases. The presented results of this model are verified with experimental and numerical results, which found as an excellent agreement.

In the current study, the nonlinear vibration properties of an embedded zigzag single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) are investigated. Winkler-type model is used to simulate the interaction of the zigzag SWCNTs with a surrounding elastic medium. The relation between deflection amplitudes and resonant frequencies of the SWCNT is derived through harmonic balance method. The equivalent Young's modulus and shear modulus for zigzag SWCNT are derived using an energy-equivalent model. The amplitude - frequency curves for large-amplitude vibrations are graphically illustrated. The simulation results show that the chirality of zigzag carbon nanolube as well as surrounding elastic medium play more important roles in the nonlinear vibration of the single-walled carbon nanotubes.

In this paper, the nonlinear cylindrical bending of simply supported, functionally graded nanocomposite plates reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), is studied. The plates are subjected to uniform pressure loading in thermal environments and their geometric nonlinearity is introduced in the strain-displacement equations based on Von-Karman assumptions. The material properties of SWCNTs are assumed to be temperature-dependent and are obtained from molecular dynamics simulations. The material properties of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composites (FG-CNTCRs) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction, and are estimated through a micromechanical model. The governing equations are reduced to linear differential equation with nonlinear boundary conditions yielding a simple solution procedure. Numerical results are presented to show the effect of the material distribution on the deflections and stresses.

Semiconducting carbon-based nanomaterials including single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs), multi-walled CNT(MWCNTs), graphene(GR), graphene oxide(GO), and reduced graphene oxide(RGO), are very promising sensing materials due to their large surface area, high conductivity, and ability to operate at room temperature. Despite of these advantages, the semiconducting carbon-based nanomaterials intrinsically possess crucial disadvantages compared with semiconducting metal oxide nanomaterials, such as relatively low gas response, irreversible recovery, and poor selectivity. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce a variety of strategies to overcome these disadvantages and investigate principle parameters to improve gas sensing performances.

The objective of this paper is to present free vibration and static stability analyses of rotating composite beams reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under uniform thermal loads. Beam structural equations and CNT-reinforced composite (CNTRC) beam formulations are derived based on Timoshenko beam theory (TBT). The temperature-dependent properties of the beam material, such as the elastic modulus, shear modulus, and material density, are assumed to vary over the thickness according to the rule of mixture. The beam material is modeled as a mixture of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in an isotropic matrix. The SWCNTs are aligned and distributed in the isotropic matrix with different patterns of reinforcement, namely the UD (uniform), FG-O, FG-V, FG- Λ and FG-X distributions, where FG-V and FG- Λ are asymmetric patterns. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effects of several essential parameters, including the rotational speed, hub radius, effective material properties, slenderness ratio, boundary conditions, thermal force, and moments due to temperature variation. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study represents the first attempt at the finite element modeling of rotating CNTRC Timoshenko beams under a thermal environment. The results are presented in tables and figures for both symmetric and asymmetric distribution patterns, and can be used as benchmarks for further validation.

본 논문에서 전계효과 트랜지스터 (field effect transistor; FET) 제작을 위한 표면 프로그램된 aminopropylethoxysilane(APTES)와 1-octadecyltrichlorosilane(OTS) 패턴을 이용하여 단일벽 탄소 나노튜브(single-walled carbon nanotube; SWCNT)를 실리콘 기판 위에 선택적으로 흡착시키는 공정방법을 제안하였다. 양성 표면 분자 패턴을 만들기 위해 형성된 APTES 패턴은 많은 양의 SWCNT의 흡착을 위해 제작되었고, OTS 만을 이용한 공정보다 효과적인 SWCNT 흡착이 가능하다. 산화막(silicon dioxide)이 형성된 실리콘 기판 위에 사진공정(photolithography process)을 이용하여 임의의 감광액(photoresist; PR) 패턴이 형성되었다. PR 패턴이 형성된 기판은 헥산 용매를 이용하여 1:500 (v/v)로 희석된 OTS 용액 속에 담가진다. OTS 박막이 표면 전체에 만들어지고, PR 패턴이 제거되는 과정에서 PR 위에 형성되었던 OTS 박막도 같이 제거되어, 선택적으로 형성된 OTS 박막 패턴을 얻을 수 있다. 이 기판은 다시 에탄올 용매를 이용하여 희석된 APTES 용액 속에 담가진다. APTES 박막은 OTS 박막 패턴이 없는 노출된 산화막 위에 형성된다. 마지막으로 이처럼 APTES와 OTS에 의해 표면 프로그램된 기판은 SWCNT가 분산된 다이클로로벤젠(dichlorobenzene) 용액 속에 담가진다. 결과적으로 SWCNT는 양 극성을 띠는(positive charged) APTES 박막 패턴 위에만 흡착된다. 반면 중성O TS 박막 패턴 위에는흡착되지 않는다. 이러한 표면 프로그램 방법을 사용하여 SWCNT는 원하는 영역에 자기 조립시킬 수 있다. 우리는 이 방법을 이용하여 소오스와 드레인 전극사이에 SWCNT가 멀티 채널로 구성된 다중채널 FET를 성공적으로 제작하였다.

단일벽 탄소나노튜브(Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes, SWCNTs)는 매우 우수한 전기적, 광전자적 특성을 가지고 있어 차세대 나노 전자소자 물질로 각광받고 있다. 특히, 이들의 전기적 특성은 직경과 카이랄리티(chirality)에 따라 금속성(metallic)과 반도체성(semiconducting)으로 구분된다. 각 특성에 따라 금속성은 투명전극, 반도체성은 전계효과 트랜지스터(CNT-FET)로 활용가능성이 높다. 하지만, 일반적으로 단일벽 탄소나노튜브는 이 두 가지의 특성이 혼재되어 합성되기 때문에, 그들의 선택적 분리는 나노튜브 기반 전자소자 응용을 위해 매우 중요한 과정 중 하나이다. 최근에는 반응 가스를 이용한 선택적 제거, 밀도차를 이용한 원심분리법(density gradient ultracentrifugation) 등 다양한 방법들이 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구는 대기 중에서 마이크로웨이브 조사하여 금속성 나노튜브만을 선택적으로 제거하였다. 마이크로웨이브 조사는 CVD 방법과 전기 방전법으로 성장된 단일벽 탄소나노튜브에 800W로 조사 시간을 변화하며 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 조사 시간이 증가할수록 두 종류의 나노튜브에서 반도체성 나노튜브는 남아있는 반면 금속성 나노튜브는 점차 제거되었다. 이러한 원인은 각 전기적 특성에 따른 유전상수 차이에 의하여 기인한 것이다. 전기적 특성과 결정성은 라만 분광법(Raman spectroscopy)을 통하여 분석하였으며, 직경 및 분산정도는 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscope), 투과전자현미경(tunneling electron microscope)으로 관찰하였다.

In the present paper, the influences of the variation of exponent of volume fraction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the natural frequencies (NFs) of the carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (CNTRC) beams under four different boundary conditions (BCs) are investigated. The single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are assumed to be aligned and dispersed in a polymeric matrix with various reinforcing patterns, according to the variation of exponent of volume fraction of CNTs for functionally graded (FG) reinforcements. Besides, uniform distribution (UD) of reinforcement is also considered to analyze the influence of the non-linear (NL) variation of the reinforcement of CNTs. Using Hamilton's principle and third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT), the equations of motion of the CNTRC beam are derived. Under four different BCs, the resulting equations are solved analytically. To verify the present formulation, comparison investigations are conducted. To examine the impacts of several factors on the NFs of the CNTRC beams, numerical examples and some benchmark results are presented.
