High density, vertically-aligned carbon nanotube membranes.
A method is presented to prepare high-density, vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VA-CNT) membranes. The CNT arrays were prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and the arrays were collapsed into dense membranes by capillary-forces due to solvent evaporation. The average space between the CNTs after shrinkage was approximately 3 nm, which is comparable to the pore size of the CNTs. Thus, ...
متن کاملMesoscopic modeling of the uniaxial compression and recovery of vertically aligned carbon nanotube forests
Vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) arrays or “forests” represent a promising class of mechanically strong and resilient lightweight materials, capable of supporting large reversible deformation and absorbing mechanical energy. The mechanical response of VACNT forests to uniaxial compression is defined by various factors, including the material microstructure, its density, height, rate o...
متن کاملLarge-Displacement Indentation Testing of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Arrays
Mechanical properties and deformation of the vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays (VA-CNTs) has been examined with large-displacement indentation tests inside a scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The in-situ indentation allows for establishment of the load-depth responses and real-time observations of the deformation processes. Under a cylindrical, flat indenter, the VA-CNTs exhibit ela...
متن کاملControllable viscoelastic behavior of vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays
We have characterized the mechanical behavior of aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays that serve as foam-like energy absorbing materials, by using atomic force microscope indentation. It is shown that the mechanical properties (e.g. elastic modulus, adhesion force, and energy dissipation) of aligned CNT arrays are dependent on the length of CNTs as well as chemical environment that surrounds CN...
متن کاملHeight independent compressive modulus of vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays.
The compressive modulus of dense vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays synthesized by chemical vapor deposition was investigated using an optically probed precision-loading platform. For CNT arrays with heights ranging from 15 to 500 microm, the moduli were measured to be about 0.25 MPa and were found to be independent of array height. A continuum mechanics model based on ...
