본 논문에서는 인터디지털 커패시트 기반의 단일벽 탄소 나노 튜브(single-walled carbon nanotube, SWNT)를 이용한 바이오 물질 검출에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저 인터디지털 커패시트의 경우, 다음으로 $5\;{\mu}m$ 틈 사이에 SWNT 경우, 그리고 SWNT 상에 biotin이 고정된 경우, 마지막으로 biotin과 streptavidin이 고정화된 경우, 공진 주파수는 각각 10.02 GHz, 11.02 GHz, 10.82 GHz, 10.22 GHz로 나타났다. 이러한 공진 주파수의 민감한 변화는 유전 상수값이 다른 두 바이오 물질이 결합함에 따라 커패시턴스 값이 달라질 것이라는 가정 하에, 측정된 결과를 근거로 등가회로를 구현함으로써 실제로 커패시턴스 값들이 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다. SWNT 상에 biotin이 고정된 경우와 biotin과 streptavidin이 고정화된 경우, 커패시턴스 값은 각각 $C_b=0.55\;pF$, $C_s=0.95\;pF$으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해서, 탄소 나노 튜브상에 특정 바이오 물질간의 결합이 커패시턴스 값의 변화를 유발시키게 되고, 이로 인해서 공진 주파수가 변화됨을 실험적으로 증명하였다. 결론적으로, 제안된 바이오 센싱 소자는 표적 바이오 물질(streptavidin)이 결합할 때 큰 공진 주파수 변화를 일으킴으로 CNT 바이오센서로서 충분한 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.

Pd nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully functionalizedon the surfaces of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by dendrimer-mediated synthesis. The hydrogen sensing properties of the Pd NPs functionalized SWNTs were investigated. Pd NPs-dendrimer-SWNTs sensors show much better speedsand superior recovery rates but lower sensitivity compared to Pd NPs-functionalized SWNTs directly fabricated due to the existence of dendrimers. Pyrolysis of the dendrimers by heat treatment resulted in a fast response time and high sensitivity owing to the reduced length of the dendrimers. These results demonstrate that the heat treatment of dendrimers in Pd NPs-dendrimer-SWNTs sensors can enable significant electrical conductance modulation upon exposure to extremely low concentrations (10 ppm) of hydrogen gas ($H_2$) in air.

We have characterized the previously undescribed parameters for engineering the electrical properties of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films for technological applications. The surface tension of the top coating passivation material and matching coefficients of thermal expansion for the substrate and carbon nanotube network are two crucial parameters for the fabrication of reliable and highly conductive single-walled carbon nanotube network thin films.

We present a simple process for the fabrication of high performance transparent conducting films that contain single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) noncovalently coated with an ultrathin titania layer. The hydrophobic interactions between nanotube surfaces and the acetylacetone (acac) ligands used to stabilize the $TiO_2$ precursor provide an interesting alternative method for noncovalently coating the SWCNTs with a titania layer. The ultrathin titania layer on SWCNTs prevented the oxidation of functionalized SWCNTs at high temperatures, and protected against water molecule absorption.

We present facile chemical route stabilizing dispersion of carboxylated single-Walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in ZnOsol prepared by using diethanolamine as a stabilizer. The dispersion was stabilized via capping of carboxyl groups on the SWCNT surface by a titania layer. We also demonstrated that the conductivity of the films prepared P3/$TiO_2$/ZnO as enhanced by therml treatment, and the thermal stbility of the film improved hybridization with ZnO sol pristine P3, P3/$SiO_2$ and P3/$TiO_2$ hybrid films.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with few defects and very small amount of amorphous carbon coating have been synthesized by catalytic decomposition of methane in $H_2$ over well-dispersed metal particles supported on MgO. The yield of SWCNTs was estimated to be 88.5% and the purities of SWCNTs thus obtained were more than 90%. Peak of the radial breathing mode in the Raman spectrum demonstrated that the diameters of synthesized CNTs are in the range 0.4-2.0 nm. Our results also indicated that MgO support materials are useful to a large-scale synthesis of high-quality SWCNTs. Increasing temperature could remarkably increase the yield and also improve the quality of SWCNTs from catalytic decomposition of methane. The morphologies and microstructures of the synthesized carbon materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can be modified to produce a new concept of hybrid materials by introducing atoms or molecules inside their cylindrical empty space. Such an endohedral doping of the SWCNTs is expected to decisively alter their electronic transport and mechanical properties, In this study, we purified SWCNTs by three-step purification processes and formed the peapod structure by introducing $C_{60}$ fullerenes inside the SWCNTs. $C_{60}$ molecules were observed to be regularly arranged by transmission electron microscopy. In Raman spectra, the radial breathing mode (RBM) rather than the other modes was significantly affected by the endohedral injection of $C_{60}$. The RBM intensity was more greatly reduced in the large-diameter SWCNTs than the small-diameter ones, Raman spectroscopy is expected to be a key technique for analyzing $C_{60}$-encapsulated SWCNTs.
