The hydrophobic coating for multi-walled nanotubes was treated with toluene and trimethylchlorosilane glow discharge plasma under low pressure, and the hydrophobic surface of the treated MWCNT was investigates. In order to investigate the effects of -CH components from the toluene and TMCS glow plasma, we conducted on the total surface free energies of the MWCNT powder, which was calculated by measuring the contact angle between the cushion of MWCNT powder and the probe liquids. The total surface free energies were determined by Owens-Wendt equation and drastically decreased.

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 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.

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.

The effect of titanium (Ti) coating over the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on field emission characteristics was investigated. Since the work function of CNTs emitter is about 5.0 eV, field emission would be observed at lower voltage if this work function gets lower. Work function of Ti is approximately 4.09eV. Field emission characteristics of as-grown and Ti-coated CNTs were measured in a diode-type configuration. The resultant emission characteristics revealed that thin($50{\AA}$-thick) Ti-coated CNTs could be a better electron emitter with lower emission voltage and higher emission efficiency.

In this paper, we observed stretching of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) aggregates driven by the in-plane field in a homogeneously aligned nematic liquid crystal (LC) medium. Aggregates of SWCNTs started to stretch above the 0.5 V/${\mu}m$ and stretched up to $1.83\;{\mu}m$ from original size with $0.74\;{\mu}m$ at 3.5 V/${\mu}m$.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized by Fe-catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method about $800^{\circ}C$. The influence of process parameters such as pretreatment conditions, gas flow ratio, processing time, etc on the growth of CNTs was investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Ammonia was added to acetylene source gas before and during the CNT growth. Different types of CNTs formed depending upon the processing condition. It was found that ammonia prevented amorphous carbons from adsorbing to the outer wall of CNT, resulting in purification of CNTs during CNT growth.

In this work, we investigated the effect of the functionalized SWNT-polymer composites for increasing sensitivity and imparting selectivity to nanotube sensors. To do this, CNT -based gas sensors were fabricated with two types of dispersed SWNT solution involving different polymer resin of TEOS (Tetraethyl orthosilicate) or MTMS (Methyl trimethoxysilane) which is blended to adhere to substrate well. As the surfaces of TEOS and MTMS surrounding SWNTs remain functionalized to -OH and $-CH_3$ groups respectively after hardening, gas adsorption will be affected differently according to the type of gases. In the experiment, we examined the response of electrical conductance for alcohol vapour gas. As the result, the conductance in the sensors using TEOS decreased considerably while that of MTMS was nearly invariable.

Carbon nanofiber/Cu composite powder has been fabricated by electroless plating process. Microstructural evolution of the composite powder after heat treatment under vacuum, hydrogen and air environment was investigated. A dispersed carbon nanofiber coated by copper was produced at the as-plated condition. Carbon nanofiber is coated uniformly and densely with the plate shaped copper particles. The copper plates on the carbon nanofiber aggregate during the thermal exposure at elevated temperature in vacuum and hydrogen in order to reduce surface energy. The thermal exposure of the composite powder in air at $400^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours leads to the spherodization of the composite powder owing to oxidation of copper.
