Since the discovery of the superconductivity in boron-doped diamond [1], the carrier doping, especially boron doping in carbon materials attracts much attentions. For the carbon nanotube, however, the effect of boron doping as well as the possibility of the superconductivity [2] have not been well understood yet. Thus, we systematically study the boron-doped single-walled zigzag carbon nanotube...

this paper was aimed to address the modeling of effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of carbon structured nanofluids. response surface methodology, d_optimal design (dod) was employed to assess the main and interactive effects of temperature (t) and weight percentage (wt %) to model effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of multi wall and single wall carbon nanotube, cvd and rgo g...

this work is focused on synthesis of sio2- cnt hybrides via sol-gel method. homogeneous distribution of carbon nanotubes within silicon matrix was obtained by mixing the functionalized carbon nanotube (cntcooh) with active silicic acid followed by titration to the solution of sodium silicate (na2sio3) under the average temperature condition of 80?c. different ratios of multi-walled carbon nanot...

A new molecular motor is conceptually constructed from a doublewalled carbon nanotube (DWNT) consisting of a long inner singlewalled carbon nanotube (SWNT) and a short outer SWNT with different chirality. The interaction between inner and outer tubes is the sum of the Lennard-Jones potentials between carbon atoms in inner tube and those in outer one. Within the framework of SmoluchowskiFeynman ...

Asymmetric end-functionalization of carbon nanotubes was achieved by sequentially floating a substrate-free aligned carbon nanotube film on two different photoreactive solutions with only one side of the nanotube film being contacted with the photoreactive solution and exposed to UV light each time. The resultant nanotubes with different chemical reagents attached onto their opposite tube-ends ...

Drug delivery by nanomaterials is an active emergent research area and CNTs draws considerable potential application owing to its unique quasi one-dimensional structure and electronic properties. Single walled carbon nanotubes and carbon fullerenes can be used in drug delivery due to their mechanical and chemical stability. The past few years, increasing attention by several reputed groups has ...

Carbon nanotubes are potentially ideal atomic force microscopy probes because they can have diameters as small as one nanometer, have robust mechanical properties, and can be specifically functionalized with chemical and biological probes at the tip ends. This communication describes methods for the direct growth of carbon nanotube tips by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using ethylene and iron...

The unravelling of (10, 10) and (18, 0) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is simulated using molecular dynamics simulations at different temperatures. Two different schemes are proposed to simulate the unravelling; completely restraining the last atom in the chain and only restraining it in the axial direction. The forces on the terminal atom in the unravelled chain in the axial and radia...
