Aligned Carbon Nanotubes For Multifunctional Nanocomposites and Nanodevices L Dai, L Qu (Univ of Dayton) We have previously developed a simple pyrolytic method for large-scale production of aligned carbon nanotube arrays perpendicular to the substrate. These aligned carbon nanotube arrays can be transferred onto various substrates of particular interest in either a patterned or non-patterned fa...

Crumpled graphite thin film balls were fabricated with Panasonic Pyrolytic Graphite Sheets (PGS). The fractal dimension, mechanical properties, and electrical conductivity of the crumpled PGS balls have been investigated. The universal local fractal dimension of the PGS balls is found to be 2.58, which is consistent with that of paper balls. The crumpled PGS balls show good mechanical property ...

Pyrolysis techniques were used to characterize the organic matter contained within the penetrated section and to assess the presence of heavy hydrocarbon shows. The Rock-Eval data indicate a change in organic hydrogen enrichment within the middle Miocene sequence. It appears that the level of organic enrichment may be controlled by sedimentation rate, while the organic hydrogen enrichment, as s...

The recent development, behavior and scope of edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes in electroanalysis are overviewed. Similarities to, and advantages, over multi-walled CNT modified electrodes are noted and the wide scope of applications, ranging through gas sensing, stripping voltammetry and biosensing, illustrated.
