Lattice Image of LMSC Glassy Carbon

Fabrication and Characterization of Glassy Carbon MEMS

This paper describes the fabrication of free-standing high-carbon microstructures by softlithographic techniques; these structures ranged in complexity from simple beams to complex, suspended deflectors. Microstructures of polymeric precursors (copolymers of furfuryl alcohol-phenol) to high-carbon solids were fabricated using poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) molds. Carbonization of these microstru...

Electrochemical Sensor for Determination of Fenitrothion at Multi-wall Carbon Nanotubes Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

A sensor, based on multi-wall carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (MWCNT/GCE), was developed for determination of fenitrothion. Determining the surface area of MWCNT/GCE showed that this surface is three times more active than that of a glassy carbon electrode. The experimental parameters, such as the amount of MWCNTs, pH of the fenitrothion solution, preconcentration potential an...

Image Processing for TEM Micrographs of Platinum Nanoparticles on Glassy Carbon

Transmission electron microscopy is the state-of the art technique for the study of particle size and size distribution in model catalyst systems. We have investigated platinum nanoparticles supported on glassy carbon. Our novel approach was to vary the size of nanoparticles allowing us to produce particles in the range 1 to 5 nm with a very narrow size distribution. To avoid the problems arisi...

Nanocrystalline hexagonal diamond formed from glassy carbon

Carbon exhibits a large number of allotropes and its phase behaviour is still subject to significant uncertainty and intensive research. The hexagonal form of diamond, also known as lonsdaleite, was discovered in the Canyon Diablo meteorite where its formation was attributed to the extreme conditions experienced during the impact. However, it has recently been claimed that lonsdaleite does not ...
