We report a passive Q-switching of an all-fiber erbium-doped fiber laser delivering high pulse energy by using a high quality single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA). A side-polished fiber coated with the SWCNT is employed as an in-line SA for evanescent wave interaction between the incident light and the SWCNT. This lateral interaction scheme enables a stable Q-switched fiber laser that generates high pulse energy. The central wavelength of the Q-switched pulse laser was measured as 1560 nm. A repetition rate frequency of the Q-switched laser is controlled from 78 kHz to 190 kHz by adjusting the applied pump power from 124 mW to 790 mW. The variation of pulse energy from 51 nJ to 270 nJ is also observed as increasing the pump power. The pulse energy of 270 nJ achieved at maximum pump power is 3 times larger than those reported in Q-switched all-fiber lasers using a SWCNT-SA. The tunable behaviors in pulse duration, pulse repetition rate, and pulse energy as a function of pump power are reported, and are well matched with theoretical expectation.

탄소나노튜브-에폭시 복합재료의 미세손상에 대한 자체-감지도와 분산도와 관련되는 특성 연구가 접촉각, 전기-미세역학 시험법 및 음향방출을 통하여 수행하였다. 시편들은 미처리와 산처리된 탄소나노튜브가 첨가된 에폭시 복합재료와 순수 에폭시로 제조되었다. 상대적인 분산도는 부피 전기저항도와 그 표준편차로 평가하였다. 응력전달을 나타내는 겉보기 탄성율은 미처리 탄소나노튜브 복합재료보다 산처리된 경우가 크게 나타났다. 단일 탄소섬유/탄소나노튜브-에폭시 복합재료는 부가한 반복 하중에 대해서 접촉저항도의 변화로 잘 감지되었다 섬유 풀-아웃 시험에서 단일 탄소섬유와 탄소나노튜브-에폭시간의 계면접착강도는 순수 에폭시의 경우보다 작았다. 음향방출과 함께 전기저항측정을 통한 미세파손 감지는, 전도성 있는 탄소나노튜브-에폭시 복합재료에서는 단일 탄소섬유 파손에 대한 단계적인 전기저항도의 증대를 보여 주었으나, 순수 에폭시의 경우는 첫번째 탄소섬유의 파단의 경우 바로 저항이 무한대로 증대함을 보여주었다. 첨가한 탄소나노튜브의 미세계면 손상으로 인하여, 음향방출 발생이 나노복합재료가 순수 에폭시에 비하여 훨씬 증대하였다.

We fabricated a Li-S battery with post-treated carbon nanotube (CNT) films which offered better support for sulfur, and investigated the effect of the surface properties and pore structure of the post-treated CNT films on Li-S battery performance. Post-treatments, i.e., acid treatment, unzip process and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) treatment, effectively modified the surface properties and pore structure of the CNT film. The modified pore structure impacted the ability of the CNT films to accommodate the catholyte, resulting in an increase in initial discharge capacity.

Polypropylene(PP)/carbon fiber(CF)/multi-walled carbon nanotube(MWCNT) nanocomposites along with various CF and MWCNT contents were prepared in a Twin screw extruder. Electrical, mechanical property and morphology were investigated with a variation of CF and MWCNT contents. From the surface resistance of PP/CF/MWCNT composites, MWCNT can increase the conductivity of composites compared with PP/CF composites without MWCNT. It is suggested that MWCNT and CF can make the conductive network in the polymer matrix. Flexural modulus and Izod impact strength of the PP/CF/MWCNT composites were improved with the increase of CF contents. Morphology showed that length of CF in polymer matrix was shortened by torque during melt mixing with MWCNT. As a result of this phenomenon, the impact strength of composites was somewhat decreased.

고분자 복합재료의 기계적 특성 향상에 유리한 탄소섬유(Carbon fiber, CF)와 전도 특성 향상에 유리한 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(Multi-walled carbon nanotube, MWCNT)의 동시 혼입을 통해 기계적, 전기적 및 열적 특성을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우수한 양산 가공성과 준수한 기계적 특성을 나타내는 탄소장섬유 열가소성플라스틱(Carbon long fiber thermoplastic, CLFT)에 MWCNT를 혼입하여 전기적 및 열적 특성 제어하였다. 제조된 복합재료의 기계적 및 전기적 특성은 필러의 혼입 양에 가장 크게 영향을 받았다. 반면, 열적 특성은 MWCNT의 혼입으로 연결된 필러 네트워크가 형성됨으로써 더 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. MWCNT 혼입 CLFT의 필러 혼입량, 필러 조성 및 필러 네트워크 구조를 조절함으로써 목적에 적합한 기계적, 전기적 및 열적 특성 제어할 수 있었다.

We developed a chemiresistive anion sensor using highly conductive carbon nanotube fibers (CNTFs) functionalized with anion receptors. Mechanically robust CNTFs were prepared via wet-spinning utilizing the nematic liquid crystal properties of CNTs in chlorosulfonic acid (CSA). For anion detection, polymeric receptors composed of dual-hydrogen bond donors, including thiourea 1, squaramide 2, and croconamide 3, were prepared and bonded non-covalently on the surface of the CNTFs. The binding affinities of the anion receptors were studied using UV-vis titrations. The results revealed that squaramide 2 exhibited the highest binding affinity toward AcO^-, followed by thiourea 1 and croconamide 3. This trend was consistent with the chemiresistive sensing responses toward AcO^- using functional CNTFs. Selective anion sensing properties were observed that CNTFs functionalized with squaramide 2 exhibited a response of 1.08% toward 33.33 mM AcO^-, while negligible responses (<0.1%) were observed for other anions such as Cl^-, Br^-, and NO₃^-. The improved response was attributed to the internal charge transfer of dual-hydrogen bond donors owing to the deprotonation of the receptor upon the addition of AcO^-.

Free-standing electrodes of CuO nanorods in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are developed by synthesizing porous CuO nanorods throughout CNT webs. The electrochemical performance of the free-standing electrodes is evaluated for their use in flexible lithium ion batteries (LIBs). The electrodes comprising CuO@CNT nanocomposites (NCs) were characterized by charge-discharge testing, cyclic voltammetry, and impedance measurement. These structures are capable of accommodating a high number of lithium ions as well as increasing stability; thus, an increase of capacity in long-term cycling and a good rate capability is achieved. We demonstrate a simple process of fabricating free-standing electrodes of CuO@CNT NCs that can be utilized in flexible LIBs with high performance in terms of capacity and cycling stability.

Several forms of nanonetworked carbon materials were synthesized by high pressure and high temperature treatments of fullerene C$\_$60/ and single-walled carbon nanotube bundles. Structural properties (e.g. thermal expansion coefficients and compressibilities) of the synthesized materials were investigated by XRD measurements using synchrotron X-ray. Their formation mechanisms are also discussed.

The paper presents the thermo-mechanically induced non-linear response of multiwall carbon nanotube reinforced laminated composite beam (MWCNTRCB) supported by elastic foundation using higher order shear deformation theory and von-Karman non-linear kinematics. The elastic properties of MWCNT reinforced composites are evaluated using Halpin-Tsai model by considering MWCNT reinforced polymer matrix as new matrix by dispersing in it and then reinforced with E-glass fiber in an orthotropic manner. The laminated beam is supported by Pasternak elastic foundation with Winkler cubic nonlinearity. A generalized static analysis is formulated using finite element method (FEM) through principle of minimum potential energy approach.

다중벽 탄소 나노튜브(multi-walled carbon nanotubes, MWNTs)를 포함하고 있는 poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) 나노섬유를 전기 방사법에 의해 제작하였다. 주사 전자 현미경을 통하여 용매의 종류(dimethyl formamide, chloroform and toluene)와 탄소 나노튜브의 함량(0.5 and $3.0\;wt\%$)에 의해 나노섬유 표면의 형상과 탄소 나노튜브와 나노섬유의 구조가 영향을 받았다. 집적판의 전극 모양을 조절함으로써 나노섬유의 정렬이 가능하였다. 고분자 사슬의 회전 반경과 탄소 나노튜브의 크기의 비교를 통하여 PMMA 나노섬유와 탄소 나노튜브의 관계를 정리하였다. 탄소 나노튜브 투입량이 증가함에 따라 고분자 비드가 증가하였다.
