수분을 첨가한 열화학기상증착으로 $850^{\circ}C$에서 길게 수직 성장한 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 합성하였다. 실리콘 웨이퍼에 열 증착기로 Al 15 nm를 입히고 그 위에 촉매 층으로 Fe 0.5 nm 를 증착한 기판을 사용하였다. 탄소나노튜브의 성장에는 분위기 가스로 Ar을, 성장 가스로 $C_2H_2$를 사용하였다. 이들 가스를 이용한 합성 중에 약 100 ppm 전후의 수분을 첨가함으로써 탄소나노튜브의 성장 길이를 10 배 가량 증가시켰다. 이것은 합성 중의 수분 첨가로 인해 금속촉매 입자들의 활동성이 증가하였기 때문이다. 수분의 첨가량를 달리하여 합성한 탄소나노튜브의 길이와 정렬도를 관찰하기 위해 주사전자현미경 (scanning electron microscopy, SEM)을 이용하였고, 탄소나노튜브의 정확한 지름과 벽의 개수를 파악하기 위해 투과전자현미경 (transmission electron microscopy)을, 결정성을 파악하기 위해 Raman 분광기를 사용하였다.

The surface of graphite fiber fabric anode was modified with a hydrogel and a mixture of hydrogel and multiwall carbon nanotube, and their effectiveness were compared to the unmodified anodes in a batch microbial fuel cell (microbial fuel cells). The maximum power density of the MFC was determined by both performance of the anode and cathode. The maximum power density for the MFC with the anode modified with the mixture of hydrogel and multiwall carbon nanotube was $1,162mW/m^2$ which was 27.7% higher than that with the unmodified graphite fiber fabric anode. "The mixture of hydrogel and multiwall carbon nanotube is a good surface modifier for anode with high biological affinity and low activation losses."

플라즈마 열화학기상 증착법으로 Fe-Ni-Co 3원계 측매합금을 이용하여 $442^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 합성하였다. 수소의 유량이 일정할 때 아세틸렌의 유량이 감소함에 따라 성장속도가 증가하였다. 합성된 탄소나노튜브는 약 8.4 nm의 직경과 $5.5\;{\mu}m$의 길이를 보였으며, 기판에 대해 수직으로 성장되었다. 4인치 웨이퍼 위에서도 전면적에서 균일한 성장을 보였다.

The optical limiter is an optical component which reduces laser beam intensity for the protection of eyes and light sensors. Carbon nanotube is now known as a highly efficient optical limiting material. Optical limiting effect of the multi-walled carbon nanotube suspensions, in several kinds of solvents such as distilled water, chloroform, ethanol and ethylene glycol, were measured in the range from room temperature to near to the boiling points of the solvents. The pulsed Nd:YAG laser whose wavelength is 1064 nm and pulse duration is 6 ns was used as a light source. The experimental result shows that the limiting efficiency was reduced as the temperature increased, and the suspension which has lower boiling point, viscosity and surface tension has highest efficiency.

Hot filament 플라즈마 화학기상 증착법 (HFPECVD)를 사용하여 전처리 조건에 따른 탄소나노튜브의 성장 특성을 관찰하였다. 암모니아 ($NH_3$)를 희석가스로 사용하였고, 아세틸렌 ($C_2H_2$)를 탄소 원료가스로 각각 사용하였다. 암모니아 가스 플라즈마를 사용하여 전처리 된 니켈 촉매 층의 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) 이미지를 관찰하여 본 결과, 나노 사이즈의 촉매 그레인(grain)을 발견할 수 있었다. 그리고 탄소 나노튜브의 직경과 성장 밀도 또한 전처리 된 촉매 층에 따라 다른 양상을 보였다. TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy)를 사용하여 탄소나노튜브를 관찰한 결과 공동구조(hollow)를 한 다중벽 탄소 나노튜브(MWCNT)를 관찰할 수 있었다. 성장된 나노튜브는 끝에 금속팁을 가지고 있으며, 나노튜브의 팁은 촉매로 사용한 것과 같은 물질로 구성되어 있었다. Raman spectroscopy를 사용하여 측정된 B-밴드와 G-밴드의 피크들은 각각 $1360cm^{-1}$와 $1598cm^{-1}$ 부근에서 나타났으며, 전처리 조건을 달리하여 성장시킨 탄소나노튜브 필름에서 이들 두 피크의 위치는 이동하지 않았고, 두 피크의 강도 비율 ($I_G/I_D$)은 전처리 조건에 따라 변하였다.

In this study, for efficiency enhancement of low temperature heat exchanger, the thermal conductivity and the viscosity of carbon nanofluids and oxidized carbon nanofluids were measured at $10^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. Carbon nanofluids were made by ultrasonic-dispersing ones in distilled water after Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) mixed Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS, 100 wt%), Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP, 300 wt%) each. Oxidized carbon nanofluids were made by ultrasonic-dispersing Oxidized Carbon Nanotubes (OMWCNTs) in distilled water. The thermal conductivity of carbon nanofluids was measured by using a transient hot-wire method. The viscosity was measured by using a digital viscometer. As a result, the thermal conductivity of oxidized carbon nanofluids was the highest of those compared and the other carbon nanofluids at the same mixture ratio and temperature, and the viscosity was measured the lowest of those compared and the other carbon nanofluids.

몇몇의 박테리아들은 바이오필름을 형성하여 그들 스스로를 보호한다. 하지만 바이오필름으로 인해 악취와 질병 등의 문제가 많이 발생되고 있기 때문에 바이오필름을 형성하는 박테리아의 성장을 효율적으로 억제하기 위해 은 나노, 구리 나노입자들이 포함된 다양한 나노스케일의 재료들에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어오고 있다. 이들 연구의 주된 목표는 체내에서 독성은 나타내지 않으면서 항균성을 증가시키는 것에 있다. 특히, 구형으로 이루어진 나노입자와 높은 종횡비를 가지는 탄소나노튜브와 같이 차원이 다른 나노물질들의 복합체들은 세포독성을 최소화하면서 특정 박테리아에 대한 항균성을 향상시킬지도 모른다. 이번 연구에서는, 산 처리된 탄소나노튜브에 화학적인 방법을 이용하여 구리 이온을 각각 환원시켜 구리 나노-탄소나노튜브 복합체를 합성하였다. 이들 복합체는 transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy 를 이용하여 특성이 분석되었고 Methylobacterium spp., Sphingomonas spp. 와 E. coli 에 대하여 항균성이 평가되었다. 추가적으로 구리 나노-탄소나노튜브 복합체는 human fibroblast cells 에 대하여 세포독성이 평가되었고 제작된 마이크로칩 안에 형성된 바이오필름의 성장억제효과가 평가되었다. 결과적으로, 구리 나노-탄소나노튜브 복합체에서 바이오필름을 형성하는 Methylobacterium spp. 에 대하여 특이적으로 항균성을 나타냈으며 바이오필름이 형성된 마이크로칩에서 바이오필름을 제거 하는 것이 확인되었다.

The high Young's modulus and tensile strength of carbon nanotubes has attracted great attention from the research community given the potential for developing super-strong, super-stiff composites with carbon nanotube reinforcements. Over the decades, the strength and stiffness of carbon nanotube-reinforced polymer nanocomposites have been researched extensively. However, unfortunately, such strong composite materials have not been developed yet. It has been reported that the efficiency of load transfer in such systems is critically dependent on the quality of adhesion between the nanotubes and the polymer chains. In addition, the waviness and orientation of the nanotubes embedded in a matrix reduce the reinforcement effectiveness. In this study, we carried out performed micromechanics-based numerical modeling and analysis by varying the geometry of carbon nanotubes including their aspect ratio, orientation, and waviness. The results of this analysis allow for a better understanding of the load transfer capabilities of carbon nanotube-reinforced polymer composites.

We have performed classical molecular dynamics simulations for hypothetical silicon nanotubes using the Tersoff potential. Our investigation presented a systematic study about the thermal behavior of hypothetical silicon nanotubes and showed the difficulty in Producing silicon nanotubes or graphitelike sheets. Through the investigations on the structure and properties of a double-wall silicon nanotube, we concluded that quasi-one dimensional structures consisting of silicon atoms become nanowires or multi wall nanotubes rather than single wall nanotubes in order to minimize the number of $sp^2$ bonds.

Recently, a lot of nano-scale material technology development and research have been conducted in construction fields to improve the compressive strength and durability of cement-based Composites. There are some studies that have confirmed the properties and application effects of cement-based complex using each nanomaterial, but development and research using both materials are relatively limited. This study sought to confirm the effect of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and nanosilica, which are representative construction nanomaterials, on the compressive strength, voids, and microstructure formation of cement. The purpose was to produce a cement composite by changing the mixing rate of the two nanomaterials, and to find the optimal mixing amount considering its mechanical and rheological properties.
