چکیده

a simple chemical vapor deposition technique at atmospheric pressure (apcvd) is adopted to synthesize the aligned arrays of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (amwcnts) without using any carrier gas, at 230◦c, 750◦c and 850 ◦c. camphor (c10h16o) is used as carbon source because this botanical hydrocarbon is chip and abundant which convert the cvd technique to a green method for production of carbon nanotubes (cnts). the oxygen atoms in camphor oxidize the amorphous carbons and create hydroxyl functional groups in amwcnts. the molecular structure of camphor lead to form hexagonal and pentagonal carbon rings which increase the growth rate and alignment of mwcnts. in this work, amwcnts are grown on silicon substrate, copper, and quartz. the synthesized amwcnts are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), fourier transform infrared (ftir) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). the sem results show that the deposited cnts are formed in vertical aligned arrays and each has a functional oh group which is seen in ftir spectroscopy results.

Carbon Nanotubes from Camphor: An Environment-Friendly Nanotechnology

High-purity carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are produced by chemical vapour deposition of camphor, an environment-friendly hydrocarbon. In a small CVD reactor (1-m long and 26mm wide), CVD of 3 g camphor at 650°C for 1 hour yields ~1.62 g MWNTs of diameter ~10 nm with an as-grown purity over 88%; that is, camphor-to-CNT production efficiency is 50%. This is the highest efficiency ever achieved from any...

Mechanical properties of functionalized carbon nanotubes.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) used to reinforce polymer matrix composites are functionalized to form covalent bonds with the polymer in order to enhance the CNT/polymer interfaces. These bonds destroy the perfect atomic structures of a CNT and degrade its mechanical properties. We use atomistic simulations to study the effect of hydrogenization on the mechanical properties of single-wall carbon nanot...
