a sensor, based on multi-wall carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (mwcnt/gce), was developed for determination of fenitrothion. determining the surface area of mwcnt/gce showed that this surface is three times more active than that of a glassy carbon electrode. the experimental parameters, such as the amount of mwcnts, ph of the fenitrothion solution, preconcentration potential an...

In this research we have studied aimed to compare the adsorption of dexamethasone by two adsorbent; multi-wall carbon nanotube and activated carbon with the help of UV/VIS spectrophotometer Jenway 6505 model. Adsorption chart based on the wavelength of dexamethasone has been obtained and the relevant graph is plotted by considering factor of concentration. Four different concentrations necessar...

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...

Recent studies have investigated the photomechanical properties of carbon nanotubes which can be utilized to construct optical actuators. In this paper we compare the photomechanical response from single-wall and multi-wall carbon nanotube/polymer systems in multilayer and nanocomposite actuator constructions. Incorporating polymers in the actuators, single-wall and multi-wall nanotubes show si...

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 produc...

We provide here a theoretical description of electromagnetic scattering by multi-wall carbon nanotubes based on an effectiveboundary condition derived previously using a phenomenological quantum model. We present the basic analytical solution, extending it then to include the electromagnetic interaction between multiple concentric tubes in the general multi-wall carbon nanotube case.

We report in situ environmental transmission electron microscope observations of the nucleation and growth of multi-wall and single-wall carbon nanotubes formed by the catalytic decomposition of acetylene (C2H2) on Ni/SiO2 catalyst. The growth rate, structure and morphology of the carbon nanotubes formed depended upon reaction temperature and pressure. Under 20-100 mTorr of gas pressures at 480...
