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...

A bstract. Detailed growth mechanism of single-wall nanotube bundles and of multiwall nanotubes of carbon is investigated using ab initio and parametrized calculations. Our results show that single-wall tubes grow only in presence of a catalyst, whereas multi-wall tubes, stabilized at the growing edge by a covalent "lip-lip" interaction, may form in a pure carbon atmosphere. The individual tube...

Single walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized with different functionalities by simple dip coating. This fast and reproducible procedure was realized with nanotube coated electrodes for the construction of polyvalent biosensors. Three different pyrene derivatives were attached to the nanotube sidewalls by π-stacking interactions in a one-step reaction.

By employing the theoretical method based on tight-binding, we study electronic band structure of single-wall carbon nanotube (CNT) superlattices, which the system is the made of the junction between the zigzag and armchair carbon nanotubes. Exactly at the place of connection, it is appeared the pentagon–heptagon pairs as topological defect in carbon hexagonal network. The calculations are base...

the overall aim of this study is to calculate some water properties in the single wall carbon naotubes (swcnt) and compare them to the bulk water properties to investigate the deviation of water properties inside the swcnt from those in the bulk. here some physical and transport properties of water molecules in the single wall carbon nanotube were reported by performing molecular dynamics (md) ...

In electrochemical glucose sensing, the enhancement of sensitivity and response time is essential in developing stable reliable sensors, especially for continuous monitoring. We developed a method to increase shorten sensing upon appropriate addition single wall carbon nanotube onto osmium polymer-based hydrogel electrode. Also, background stabilization dramatically enhanced. Keywords: Continuo...

Various nanocomposites of TiO2, ZnO and ZrO2 decorated single wall Carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were fabricated by facile and template free continuous ultrasonication/stirring of virgin metal oxide nanopowders and SWNTs in ethanol under UV-light illumination. The TEM micrographs showed that nanoparticles (NPs) were uniformly dispersed and bonded on the surface of SWNTs. The results of XRD as well a...

Semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes are very promising materials in printed electronics due to their excellent mechanical and electrical property, outstanding printability, and great potential for flexible electronics. Nonetheless, developing scalable and low-cost approaches for manufacturing fully printed high-performance single-wall carbon nanotube thin-film transistors remains a majo...
