چکیده

The complex dielectric constant is reported for multiwalled carbon nanotubes MWCNTs up to 105 Hz as a function of ac-electric field amplitudes Erot in phase and same frequency as the measurement and Eac different phase and fixed frequency with respect to the measurement . A slow relaxation process mode 1 is observed, which shifts to higher frequency with increasing Erot but is independent of Eac. A fast relaxation process mode 2 is also observed, which is independent of Erot but shifts to higher frequency with increasing Eac opposite to that of mode 1 . An ac-conductivity analysis of MWCNT reveals insights on how Erot and Eac influence the dissipation. © 2008 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.3035963

Thick Film Deposition of Carbon Nanotubes by Alternating Electrophoresis

Electrophoretic deposition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using alternating current electric fields (0.01-1000 Hz) is reported. Pure acetone was used as suspending medium. Two parallel gold electrodes were used as depositing substrate. The effect of depositing parameters such as frequency and three waveforms (sinusoidal, rectangular and triangular) on deposit yield was investigated. According to ou...

Amperometric sensor for hydrogen peroxide based on electric wire composed of horseradish peroxidase and toluidine blue-multiwalled carbon nanotubes nanocomposite.

A kind of nanocomposites with good dispersion in water was prepared through noncovalent adsorption of toluidine blue (Tb) on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) for electric communication between horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and electrode. The nanocomposites could be conveniently cast on electrode surface. With the aid of chitosan, HRP was then immobilized on the nanostructure to form a reagen...

Studies on the Removal of Indigo Carmin from Aqueous Solutions by GO, Oxidized MWCNTs, AC, and MWCNTs

Background and purpose: Quick removal of dye from water and waste water is very important in the research related to eliminating pollutions; this is because of the spread of damaging effects of dyes in water on the human beings and the environment. Four different carbon nanostructures, namely graphene oxide, oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes, activated carbon, and multiwalled carbon nanotub...

Influence of External Electric Fields on Electronic Response and Bandstructure of Carbon Nanotubes

We performed tight-binding calculation of the electronic properties of carbon nanotubes in a perpendicular electric field. Within the linear response limit, the dielectric function of a doped carbon nanotube is found to depend not only on its symmetry, but also on the Fermi level position and tube radius. Upon increasing the field, the mixing of neighboring subbands results in metal-semiconduct...

Preparation and Characterization of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes-Polythiophene Nanocomposites and its Gas Sensitivity Study at Room Temperature

The nanocomposites of polythiophene and carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized by in-situ chemical oxidative polymerization method using anhydrous ferric chloride (FeCl3) as an oxidant. The MWCNTs functionalized and ultrasonicated to obtain uniform dispersion within the polythiophene matrix. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the mo...
