본 연구에서는 PEO [poly(ethylene oxide)]/EVA [poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate)]에 MWCNT (multi-walled carbon nanotube)-COOH 1, 2, 3, 5 wt% 첨가하여 PEO/EVA/MWCNT-COOH 복합막을 제조하였다. 그리고 복합막에 대해 $30^{\circ}C$, 4~8 bar의 압력에서 $N_2$, $O_2$, $CO_2$의 기체투과 성질을 조사하였다. 각 PEO/EVA/MWCNT-COOH 복합막들에서 $CO_2$의 투과도는 압력 증가에 따라 증가하였고, $N_2$와 $O_2$는 압력에 거의 변화를 받지 않았다. 그리고 MWCNT-COOH 함량이 증가하면서 $CO_2$ 투과도가 증가하다가 2 wt% MWCNT-COOH 함량이상에서 감소하였는데 2 wt% MWCNT-COOH 복합막은 8 bar에서 $CO_2/N_2$ 선택도 77.8과 $CO_2$ 투과도 84 barrer를 나타내었다. 높은 $CO_2/N_2$ 선택도와 $CO_2$ 투과도는 사극자 $CO_2$와 PEO 내의 극성 에테르기, EVA의 극성 에스터기와 함께 MWCNT 표면의 -COOH기 간의 높은 친화력 때문이다.

Although the intrinsic characteristics of DNA molecules and carbon nanotubes (CNT) are well known, fabrication methods and physical characteristics of CNT-embedded DNA thin films are rarely investigated. We report the construction and characterization of carboxyl (-COOH) group-modified multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT-COOH)-embedded DNA and cetyltrimethyl-ammonium chloride-modified DNA (DNA-CTMA) composite thin films. Here, we examine the structural, compositional, chemical, spectroscopic, and electrical characteristics of DNA and DNA-CTMA thin films consisting of various concentrations of MWCNT-COOH. The MWCNT-COOH-embedded DNA and DNA-CTMA composite thin films may offer a platform for developing novel optoelectronics, energy harvesting, and sensing applications in physical, chemical, and biological sciences.

본 연구에서는 multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) 표면에 자유 라디칼 중합 가능한 methacrylate기를 다량으로 도입하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저, MWCNT 표면에 카르복실기(-COOH)를 도입하기 위하여 황산과 질산의 혼산으로 초음파로 처리하면서 2시간 산화시켜 MWCNT-COOH를 합성하였다. 합성된 MWCNT-COOH를 염화티오닐(thionyl chloride)와 반응시켜 MWCNT-COCl을 합성하고, triethylenetetramine (TETA)와 반응시켜 MWCNT-$NH_2$를 합성하였다. 합성된 MWCNT-$NH_2$와 3-(acryloyloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (AHM)의 투입 몰 비를 변화시키면서 Michael 부가 반응으로 MWCNT 표면에 methacrylate기가 도입된 MWCNT-AHM을 합성하였다. MWCNT의 표면 개질정도는 fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)와 원소분석(elemental analysis, EA) 분석을 통해 개질 반응의 진행 정도와 최적 개질 조건을 확인하였다. 그 결과 MWCNT-$NH_2$에 접목되어 있는 TETA에 대하여 AHM의 반응 몰 비를 1:10로 하고 8시간 반응시켰을 때 methacrylate기가 가장 많이 도입되는 조건임을 확인하였다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of multiwall carbon nanotube functionalized with carboxyl group (MWCNT-COOH) on the mechanical properties of dental glassionomer cement (GIC). MWCNT-COOH was prepared by the acid oxidative method. The MWCNT-COOH was incorporated into a commercial GIC powder or liquid at 0.5 wt% or 1.0 wt%. The net setting time of the cements was measured in accordance with ISO 9917 (Dental water-based cement). Specimens for compressive strength ($4mm{\varphi}{\times}6mm$), diametral tensile strength ($6mm{\varphi}{\times}4mm$) and flexure strength with modulus ($2mm{\times}2mm{\times}25mm$) were prepared by mixing with the cement liquid and kept in water bath of $(37{\pm}1)^{\circ}C$. Mechanical tests were conducted in 1 d, 7 d, and 14 days at a cross-head speed of 1 mm/min. Compressive strength of GIC mixed with 0.5 wt% MWCNT-COOH increased significantly at 7 d. However, overall mechanical properties of GIC modified with MWCNT were not significantly increased with a delayed setting time, in comparison with control cement. Overall results indicated that the MWCNT/GIC composite cements showed a limited strengthening effect for dental glassionomer cement.

The carboxylated multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH) and functionalized with isatin derivative (MWCNT-isatin) have been used as efficient adsorbents for the removal of lead (Pb) from aqueous solutions. The influence of variables including pH, concentration of the lead, amount of adsorbents and contact time was investigated by the batch method. The adsorption of the lead ions from aqueous solution by modified MWCNTs was studied kinetically using different kinetic models. The kinetic data were fitted with pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle diffusion models. The sorption process with MWCNT-COOH and MWCNT-isatin was well described by pseudo-second-order and pseudo-first-order kinetics, respectively which it was agreed well with the experimental data. Also, it involved the particle-diffusion mechanism. The values of regression coefficient of various adsorption isotherm models like Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin to obtain the characteristic parameters of each model have been carried out. The Langmuir isotherm was found to best represent the measured sorption data for both adsorbent.

본 연구는 MWCNT로 보강된 SBR 나노복합재료를 컴파운딩법(compounding)으로 제조하여 산 처리된 MWCNT와 커플링제 상호간의 물리적 화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 황산과 질산으로 산화된 MWCNT는 FT-IR 분석 결과 -COOH로 기능화됨을 확인하였고, Raman 분석 결과 표면의 defect 존재와 disorder됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 제조된 SBR 복합재료의 가황 특성, 전기적 열적 특성 및 기계적 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과 산 처리된 MWCNT와 커플링제와의 상호 결합력으로 인해 기계적 물성은 상대적으로 증가하였으나, 전기적 열적 특성은 MWCNT의 defects나 disorder의 형성과 chopping으로 인해 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The chemical functionalization of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH) by creatinine (MWCNT-Amide) and latter modification with 2-aminobenzophenone for producing 1-methyl-9-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]quinolin-2-amine (MWCNT-quino) have been investigated. All products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, derivative thermogravimetric and cellular investigations. The interesting point is that MWCNT-quino can be homogeneously dispersed in dimethylformamide and to some extent in ethyl alcohol without sonication. Also, MTT assay was used to examine the behavior of cell proliferation after 48 h of cell culture experiments. Cellular results showed high toxicity of MWCNT-quino on the cancer cells. These functionalizations have been chosen due to active sites of carbonyl and methylene groups in MWCNT-Amide and the creating quinoline derivative on the MWCNTs for future application.

Electrochemical capacitors have been the most strong energy storage devices due to high power density and long cycle stability. Pristine carbon nanotubes are promising electrode materials for excellent electrical conductivity and high specific surface area in electrochemical capacitor. However, the practical application of pristine carbon nanotubes was limited by the aggregation into bundles due to van der Waals force. In this research, we explained how multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) functionalized by carboxyl, sulfonic, and amine groups (CNT-COOH, CNT-SO3H, CNT-NH2) to improve the performances of MWCNT. Functionalized CNTs showed two- to four-fold increase in capacitance over that of pristine CNTs, while maintaining reasonable cyclic stability. But, the CNT-COOH showed the lowest rate capability of 57% compared to 84%, 86% of CNT-SO3H and CNT-NH2. As demonstrated by the spectroscopic analysis, This reseach showed how surface functional group of carbon nanotubes change capacitor performances.

The attachment of 2-aminobenzamide to carboxylated multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-COOH was achieved through the formation of amide bonds. Then, the functionalized MWCNTs, MWCNT-amide, were treated by phosphoryl chloride to produce MWCNT-quin. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, derivative thermogravimetric, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, and solubility testing. MWCNT-quin showed photo-electronic properties, which is due to the attachment of the 4-hydroxyquinazoline groups to them as proved by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. This suggests intramolecular interactions between the tubes and the attached 4-hydroxyquinazoline. The toxicity of the samples was evaluated in human embryonic kidney HEK293 and human breast cancer SKBR3 cell lines, and the viable cell numbers were measured by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) after the cells were cultured for 24 h. Cellular investigations showed that the modified MWCNTs, particularly MWCNT-quin, have considerably significant toxic impact on SKBR3 as compared to HEK293 at the concentration of 5 µg/mL.

본 연구에서는 Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT)와 니켈 분말을 포함하는 전기 전도성 복합체를 제조하여 물성을 비교하였다. 복합체 제조에 앞서, MWCNT 표면을 개질하여 카르복실기(-COOH)와 아미노기($-NH_2$)를 도입하였으며, 표면 개질 혹은 개질되지 않은 MWCNT와 니켈 분말을 diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)에 분산하여 전기 전도성 복합체를 제조하였다. 그리고 triethylenetetramine (TETA)를 경화제로 사용하여 전도성 복합체와 혼합한 후, doctor blade법으로 코팅하여 전기전도성 변화를 측정하였다. MWCNT의 표면 개질 여부와 에폭시 수지와의 반응여부는 fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) 및 elemental analyzer (EA)로 확인하였으며, 복합체의 표면 형상은 scanning electron microscope (SEM), 복합체의 면 저항 값은 4-point probe로 측정하였다. 그 결과 아미노기로 표면 개질한 MWCNT 0.5 wt%와 40%의 니켈 분말을 사용하여 제조한 복합체의 면 저항 값은 $(9.87{\pm}1.09){\times}10^4{\Omega}/sq$로 니켈 분말만 53.3% 사용하여 제조한 복합체의 면 저항 값과 유사한 값을 나타내었다. 따라서, 0.5%의 아미노기로 개질된 MWCNT를 포함하는 전도성 복합체는 순수 니켈 분말만 사용하는 복합체보다 13.3%의 니켈 분말 함량을 감소할 수 있음을 알았다.
