Electro-micromechanical techniques were applied using four-probe method for carbon nanotube (CNT) or nanofiber (CNF)/epoxy composites with their content. Carbon black (CB) was used to compare with CNT and CNF. The fracture of carbon fiber was detected by nondestructive acoustic emission (AE) relating to electrical resistivity for double-matrix composites test. Sensing for fiber tension was performed by electro-pullout test under uniform cyclic strain. The sensitivity for fiber damage such as fiber fracture and fiber tension was the highest for CNT/epoxy composites, and in CB case they were the lowest compared with CNT and CNF. Reinforcing effect of CNT obtained from apparent modulus measurement was the highest in the same content. The results obtained from sensing fiber damage were correlated with the morphological observation of nano-scale structure using FE-SEM. The information on fiber damage and matrix deformation and reinforcing effect of carbon nanocomposites could be obtained from electrical resistivity measurement as a new concept of nondestructive evaluation.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have attracted much attention as promising materials for transparent conducting films (TCFs), thanks to their superior electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength, and complete flexibility. The CNT-based TCFs can be used in a variety of application fields as flexible, transparent electrodes, including touch panel screens, flexible electronics, transparent heaters, etc. First of all, this study investigated the effect of a variety of surfactants on the dispersion of SWCNTs in an aqueous solution. Following the optimization of the dispersion by surfactants, flexible TCFs were fabricated by spraying the CNT suspension onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrates. The sheet resistances of the TCFs having different surfactants were investigated with treatment in nitric acid ($HNO_3$) whose concentration and period of treatment time were varied. It seems that the $HNO_3$ removes the surfactants from and is simultaneously doped into the SWCNT network, reducing the contact resistance between CNTs. TCFs were characterized by UV-VIS spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and four-point probe.

We report a simple, low cost, and reliable method for assembling a multi-walled nanotube (MWNT) to the end of a metal coated scanning probe microscopy (SPM) tip. By dropping the MWNT solution and applying an electric field between an SPM tip and an electrode, MWNTs which were dispersed into a dielectric solution were directly assembled onto the apex of the SPM tip due to the attraction by the dielectrophoretic force. The effective measurement of a MWNT -attached SPM tip was demonstrated by direct comparison with AFM images of a standard sample with a bare AFM tip.

본 논문에서는 근거리장에서 NFS(near field scanning)를 사용한 차폐효율 평가 방법을 통해 CNT(carbon nanotube) 필름의 차폐 특성을 분석하였다. 차폐 특성 평가는 농도 5%와 1mm의 두께를 가지는 CNT 필름과 실제 IC package를 모사한 테스트쿠폰을 사용하여 CNT 필름과 테스트쿠폰과의 거리에 따른 전자파 차폐효율 및 측정 위치에 따른 차폐효율을 측정하였다. 그 결과 근거리장에서 측정된 차폐효율은 주파수에 따라 차폐효율이 달랐다. 테스트쿠폰의 중심에서 측정된 전기장 차폐효율은 fringing effect의 영향을 받는 패턴경계보다 전기장 차폐효율이 좋은 것으로 측정되었다. 이는 근거리장에서 측정된 차폐효율은 주파수뿐만 아니라 CNT 필름과 측정 프로브의 높이, 측정 위치와 같은 측정 환경에 영향을 받는 것을 보여준다. 결론적으로 근거리장에서 제안된 방법을 사용하여 측정한 차폐효율과 ASTM D 4935-10에 의해 측정된 차폐효율은 연관성을 찾기 어렵기 때문에 전장 시스템의 거리 영역에 따라 적절한 측정 방법을 고려하여 측정해야 한다.

실리콘 기판 위에 플라즈마 기상층착법을 이용하여 합성된 탄소나노튜브를 화학적인 방법이나 전자빔 혹은 이온빔과 같은 진공 챔버 내에서의 공정없이 펨토초레이저를 이용하여 선택적으로 패터닝 하는 방법을 구현하였다. 플라즈마 기상층착법으로 합성된 탄소나노튜브는 수직성장이 가능하며 탄소나노튜브 간의 간격을 조절하여 성장이 가능하다. 이러한 장점으로 전계방출소자, 바이오센서 등의 응용을 위하여 이용되는 합성 방법이다. 이러한 응용을 위하여 선택적으로 나노튜브를 제거하고 탄소나노튜브 끝의 촉매금속을 제거하는 것이 응용의 효율을 높이는데 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 탄소나노튜브의 전기적, 구조적 특성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 화학적인 방법을 사용하지 않고 펨토초레이저를 사용하여 패터닝과 촉매금속을 제거하는 방법을 구현하였다.

Although the screen printing technology using photosensitive carbon nanotube (CNT) paste has many advantages such as low cost, simple process, uniform emission, and capability of mass production, the CNT paste needs to be improved further in CNT dispersion, printability, adhesion, electrical conductivity, population of CNT emitters, etc. Ball milling has been frequently employed to prepare the CNT paste as ball milling can mix its ingredients very well and easily cut the long, entangled CNTs. This study carried out a parametric approach to fabricating the CNT paste in terms of low-energy ball milling and a paste composition. Field emission properties of the CNT paste was characterized with CNT dispersion and electrical conductivity which were measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and a 4-point probe method, respectively. Main variables in formulating the CNT paste include a length of milling time, and amounts of CNTs and conductive inorganic fillers. In particular, we varied not only the contents of conductive fillers but also used two different sizes of filler particles of ${\mu}m$ and nm ranges. Among many variations of conductive fillers, the best field emission characteristics occurred at the 5 wt% fillers with the mixing ratio of 3:1 for ${\mu}m$-and nm-sizes. The amount and size of fillers has a great effect on the morphology, processing stability, and field emission characteristics of CNT emitter dots. The addition a small amount of nm-size fillers considerably improved the field emission characteristics of the photosensitive CNT paste.

We have investigated quantitative measurement techniques of the degree of dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). SWNTs were suspended in aqueous media using a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant. SWNTs with different dispersion states were prepared by controlling the intensity and time of sonication and centrifugation. The laser spectroscopic techniques were employed to characterize the dispersion state; i.e., raman fluorescence and absorption spectroscopic techniques. Raman spectroscopy has been used to probe the dispersion and aggregation state of SWNTs in solution. Individually suspended SWNTs show increased fluorescence peaks and decreased roping peaks at a raman shift 267 $cm^{-1}$ compared with the samples containing bundles of SWNTs. The ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-vis-NIR) absorption spectrum of decanted supernatant samples show sharp van Hove singularity peaks

금속분말에 바인더, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), cyclohexanone을 혼합한 슬러리를 이용하여 전자파 차폐용 시트를 제조하였으며, 이때 전기전도성이 높은 carbon nanotube (CNT)를 첨가하여 차폐효율을 증가시키고자 하였다. 제조된 시트는 주사전자현미경(SEM)과 energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)를 이용하여 표면분석과 성분분석을 실시하였다. 시트의 전기적 특성과 차폐효율은 4-Point Probe와 전자파차폐효율측정기를 이용하여 측정하였다. 전기저항은 CNT를 2% 첨가한 시트가 $13.13{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$로 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었으며, 전자파 차폐 효율 역시 CNT를 2%첨가한 시트가 63 dB로 가장 높은 값을 가지는 것으로 평가되었다.
