Vertically aligned arrays of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on layered Si substrates have been synthesized by water-assisted thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD). We studied changes in growth by parameters of growth temperature, growth time, rates of gas and annealing time of catalyst. Also, We grew CNTs by adding a little amount of water vapor to enhance the growth of CNTs. $H_2$, Ar, and $C_2H_2$ were used as carrier gas and feedstock, respectively. Before growth, Fe served as catalyst, underneath which AI were coated as an underlayer and a diffusion barrier, respectively, on the Si substrate. The water vapor had a greater effect on the growth of CNTs on a smaller thickness of catalyst. When the water vapor was introduced, the growth of CNTs was enhanced than without water. CNTs grew 1.29 mm for 10 min long by adding the water vapor, while CNTs were 0.73 mm long without water vapor for the same period of time. CNTs grew up to 1.97 mm for 30 min prior to growth termination under adding water vapor. As-grown CNTs were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and Raman spectroscopy.

본 연구에서는 다중벽탄소나노튜브(multi-walled carbon nanotube, MWCNTs) 기반 바이오센서 전극의 포도당 산화효소(glucose oxidase, GOD) 담지능을 높여 그 민감도를 개선하고자 그래핀 옥사이드(graphene oxide, GO)를 첨가하여 전극을 제조하였다. GO 첨가로 인하여 MWCNTs의 분산뿐만 아니라 전극의 친수성 및 표면에너지가 증가하였다. 또한, MWNCTs 0.05 g에 GO 0.05 g를 첨가하였을 때 $K_m$ (Michaelis-Menten constant)이 0.105로 가장 높은 값을 나타냈음에도 불구하고 GOD 담지능이 높아졌으며, 민감도가 $121{\mu}A\;mM^{-1}$까지 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 실험 결과는 GO첨가에 의한 MWCNTs의 분산 안정성 향상, MWCNTs 전극 표면에서 친수성으로 개질 및 표면 자유에너지 증가가 GOD 담지능에 영향을 미친 것으로 사료된다.

This paper aims to investigate the transient vibration behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube (FG-CNT) reinforced nanocomposite plate resting on Pasternak foundation under pulse excitation. The plate is considered to be composed of matrix material and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with distribution as per the functional grading concept. The functionally graded distribution patterns in nanocomposite plate are explained more appropriately with the layer-wise variation of carbon nanotubes weight fraction in the thickness coordinate. The layers are stacked up in such a way that it yields uniform and three other types of distribution patterns. The effective material properties of each layer in nanocomposite plate are obtained by modified Halpin-Tsai model and rule of mixtures. The governing equations of an illustrative case of simply-supported nanocomposite plate resting on the Pasternak foundation are derived from third order shear deformation theory and Navier's solution technique. A converge transient response of nanocompiste plate under uniformly distributed load with triangular pulse is obtained by varying number of layer in thickness direction. The validity and accuracy of the present model is also checked by comparing the results with those available in literature for isotropic case. Then, numerical examples are presented to highlight the effects of distribution patterns, foundation stiffness, carbon nanotube parameters and plate aspect ratio on the central deflection response. The results are extended with the consideration of proportional damping in the system and found that nanocomposite plate with distribution III have minimum settling time as compared to the other distributions.

In particular, gas sensors require characteristics such as high speed, sensitivity, and selectivity. In this study, we fabricated a $NO_X$ gas sensor by using a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/zinc oxide (ZnO) composite film. The fabricated MWCNT/ZnO gas sensor was then treated by a $450^{\circ}C$ temperature process to increase its detection sensitivity for NOx gas. We compared the detection characteristics of a ZnO film gas sensor, MWCNT film gas sensor, and the MWCNT/ZnO composited film gas sensor with and without the heat-treatment process. The fabricated gas sensors were used to detect $NO_X$ gas at different concentrations. The gas sensor absorbed $NO_X$ gas molecules, exhibiting increased sensitivity. The sensitivity of the gas sensor was increased by increasing the gas concentration. Additionally, while changing the temperature inside the chamber for the MWCNT/ZnO composite film gas sensor, we obtained its sensitivity for detecting $NO_X$ gas. Compared with ZnO, the MWCNT film gas sensor is excellent for detecting $NO_X$ gas. From the experimental results, we confirmed the enhanced gas sensor sensing mechanism. The increased effect by electronic interaction between the MWCNT and ZnO films contributes to the improved sensor performance.

본 연구에서는 온도와 수분에 노출된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브가 함유된 나노복합재의 수분흡수거동, 인장특성, 열분석특성을 평가하였다. 이때 탄소나노튜브 함유량은 0 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt%를 고려하였으며 시편은 각각 $25^{\circ}C$와 $75^{\circ}C$의 침수조건에 600시간까지 노출시켰다. 연구결과에 따르면 수분흡수량은 노출시간이 길어지면 증가하지만 최대 수분흡수량과 600시간에서의 수분흡수량 차이는 일정하게 나타났다. 인장탄성계수는 노출시간이 길어지면 낮아지고 탄소나노튜브 함유량이 많고 노출온도가 높아지면 감소 정도는 크게 나타났다. 인장강도는 탄소나노튜브가 함유되지 않은 경우 노출시간이 길어지면 감소하지만 MWCNT 함유되면 MWCNT의 보강 효과로 인해 증가하는 양상이 나타났다. 저장탄성계수, 유리전이온도, $tan{\delta}$ 피크 크기는 노출시간이 길어지면 낮게 나타나며 높은 노출온도에 300시간 이상 노출되면 두 개의 피크를 갖는 $tan{\delta}$ 선도가 나타났다.

Owing to the rapid climate change, a high-performance energy storage system (ESS) for efficient energy consumption has been receiving considerable attention. ESS, such as capacitors, usually has issues with the ion diffusion of electrode materials, resulting in a decrease in their capacitance. Notably, appropriate pore diameter and large specific surface area (SSA) may result in an effective ion diffusion. Therefore, graphene and multi-walled carbon nanotube (graphene@MWCNT) hybrid nanomaterials, with covalent bonds between the graphene and MWCNT, were prepared via an edge-chemistry reaction. The properties of these materials, such as high porosity, large SSA, and high electroconductivity, make them suitable to be used as electrode materials for capacitors. The optimal ratio of graphene to MWCNT can affect the electrochemical performance of the electrode material based on its physical and electrochemical properties. The supercapacitor using optimal graphene-based hybrid electrode material exhibited highest specific capacitance value as 158 F/g and excellent cycle stability.

식품 중 잠재적 위험 물질로 작용할 수 있는 BAs의 신속 검출을 위하여 전기전도성이 우수하다고 알려진 MWCNTs의 개질, 작업 전극의 제작, 효소반응기 제작을 통해 바이오센서 시스템을 구성하고 hydrogen peroxide와 주요 BAs 물질에 대한 감응도를 측정하였다. MWCTS의 성질을 향상시키기 위해 아민기를 도입하였고, 이를 FT-IR 스펙트럼을 통해 확인하였다. 아민기를 도입한 MWCNTs를 GCE에 고착시키고 PB 막을 입힌 후 cyclic voltammetry 반응을 비교한 결과, PB/MWCNT-$NH_2$/GCE 전극이 GCE에 비해 산화 전류는 8배 이상, 전체 전류는 25배 이상의 높은 전류 흐름을 보였으며, 미세한 전류 흐름의 측정도 용이해진 것으로 나타났다. 또한, carrier buffer의 pH를 달리하여 제작된 전극의 감응 전류를 비교한 결과, pH 7.0에서 전류의 감응도가 가장 높게 측정되었다. 과산화수소를 주입하여 전극의 성능의 검증한 결과, $0.5 {\mu}M{\sim}100 {\mu}M$ 범위에서 선형관계를 보였으며, 검출 한계는 $0.5{\mu}M$로 측정되었다. Histamine 표준 용액 주입 시 $1{\mu}M{\sim}100{\mu}M$ 범위에서 선형 관계를 나타내었고, tyramine은 histamine에 비해 약 95%, 2-phenylethylamine과 tryptamine은 histamine에 비해 각각 75%, 70% 수준의 감응도를 이용하여 구성된 바이오센서 시스템이 낮은 검출 한계와 높은 수준의 반응 감도를 나타내어 BAs를 측정하는데 좋은 장치임이 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 전기화학적 바이오센서의 포도당 감지능을 높이고자 금 나노 입자가 분산된 다중벽탄소나노튜브(multi-walled carbon nanotube, MWCNTs)에 CuO를 도입하였다. 금 나노 입자로 인하여 나노 클러스터(cluster) 형상을 갖는 CuO가 합성되었으며, 이는 포도당 감지능력에 매우 큰 영향을 나타내었다. 0.1 mole의 CuO가 합성되었을 때 CuO/Au@MWCNTs 나노복합재를 전극재료로서 바이오센서는 $504.1{\mu}A\;mM^{-1}cm^{-2}$으로 가장 높은 민감도를 보여주었으며, 이 값은 MWCNTs만을 전극으로 이용할 때보다 약 4배 정도 컸다. 또한, 0-10 mM의 긴 선형 구간(linear range)과 0.008 mM의 낮은 LoD (limit of detection) 값을 보여주었다. 이러한 실험 결과들은 CuO/Au@MWCNTs 나노복합재가 CuO를 이용한 다른 전기화학적 바이오센서보다 우수하다는 것을 입증하였으며, 이는 나노 클러스터 형상의 CuO가 포도당 감지에서 전기화학적 반응에 유리하기 때문으로 사료된다.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are used in various composite materials to enhance electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of composite materials. In this study, we investigate the wear characteristics of polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (PC/ABS) blends containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). PC/ABS blends are commonly used in many industrial applications such as cellular phones and display cases and MWCNTs have been added to the PC/ABS blends to improve their electromagnetic interference shielding (EMS). We performed wear tests on PC/ABS blends containing MWCNTs under reciprocating linear sliding conditions with chrome steel balls as a counterpart material. The normal loads were 10, 30, 50, 70, 100 N, the sliding speed was 10 mm/s, the stroke length was 15 mm, and the tests lasted 900 s. The MWCNTs included in the PC/ABS blends lower the wear volume and friction coefficient of the composites. We analyzed the wear debris collected from the composites during the tests in terms of the MWCNT concentration using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. The results show that the quantity of MWCNTs in the debris is proportional to the concentration of MWCNTs in the composite, indicating that the exposure of the MWCNTs to environments by wear could be increased with their concentration in the composite.
