Fabrication of one-dimensional Ag/multiwalled carbon nanotube nano-composite

Composite made of multiwalled carbon nanotubes coated with silver was fabricated by an electroless deposition process. The thickness of silver layer is about 40 to 60 nm, characterized as nano-crystalline with (111) crystal orientation along the nanotube's axial direction. The characterization of silver/carbon nanotube [Ag/CNT] nanowire has shown the large current carrying capability, and the e...

Fabrication and Mechanical Properties of Carbon Nanotube Composite Microtrusses

Metallic foams and periodic cellular structures have been investigated widely for energy absorption, thermal management, vibration damping, and structural load support applications [1, 2]. Periodic microtruss geometries, which comprise angled solid members that connect at node points, have been of interest because careful control of their geometry and periodicity [3-5] enables high stiffness, s...

Nanotube Composite Carbon Fibers

The mechanical properties of materials in small rod-shaped form are of considerable technological interest since, due to their shape and size, they can exhibit appreciably greater strength relative to corresponding macroscopic forms. For example, the mechanical strength of silicon carbide whiskers systematically increases with decreasing whisker diameter over the 100 to 1 micron range. This phe...

One-Dimensional Modelling Of A Carbon Nanotube-Based Biosensor

This paper presents a one-dimensional-in-space mathematical model of an amperometric biosensor based on a carbon nanotube electrode deposited on a perforated membrane. The developed model is based on nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations. The conditions at which the one-dimensional mathematical model can be applied to an accurate simulation of the biosensor response are investigated. The accur...
