Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes are grown on iron-deposited silicon oxide substrates by thermal chemical vapor deposition of acetylene gas at the temperature range 750∼950$^{\circ}C$. As the growth temperature increases from 750 to 950$^{\circ}C$, the growth rate increases by 4 times and the average diameter also increases from 30 nm to 130 nm while the density increases progresively with the growth temperature and a higher degree of crystalline perfection can be achieved at 950$^{\circ}C$. This result demonstrates that the growth rate, diameter, density, and crystallinity of carbon nanotubes can be controlled with the growth temperature.

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes(CNTs) have been grown on Ni-coated TiN/Si substrate by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition using $H_2/CH_4$ mixture gas. We have investigated the Effect of process parameters on the growth of CNT. During the growth, microwave power, pressure, and growth temperature were varied from 300 W to 700 W, 10 Torr to 30 Torr, and 300 $^{\circ}C$ to 700 $^{\circ}C$. respectively. Then we controlled the size of CNTs. The structure of CNT was sensitively dependent on the process parameters.

Carbon Nanotube (CNT) have been intensively investigated since they have been considered as building blocks of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Theoretical and computational studies on CNTs have revealed their physical and chemical properties and helped researchers build various experimental devices to study them in depth. However, there have been only few systematic studies on detailed changes in electronic structures of CNTs due to geometrical structure modifications. In this regard, it is necessary to perform systematic investigations of the modifications in electronic structures of CNTs, as their geometrical configurations are altered, using the first-principles density functional theory. In other words, it is essential to determine the true equilibrium structure of CNTs. In this work, we considered the different atomic configurations by maintaining their symmetries, but changing all the inequivalent bonding types one by one. Furthermore, as for CNTs, for example, the way the graphene sheet is wrapped is represented by a pair of indices (n,m) and electronic structures of CNTs vary depending on different indices. Our results suggest all the significant couplings between electronic and geometric structures in CNTs.

Carbon nanotubes are graphene sheets rolled up in cylinders with diameter as small as 1nm. Extensive work carried out in recent years has revealed the intriguing properties of this novel material. Exceptional property combined with low density of nanotubes makes them suitable for use as reinforcements in composites. Low volume of production and high cost is the main limitations towards their growth and application. Nanofibres bridge the gap between the conventional carbon fibre and the carbon nanotubes. With their low cost & comparatively higher volume of production along with their exceptional properties, the nanofibres are considered attractive material as nanoscale reinforcement. In this article a concise review of structure, property. production and application of carbon nanotubes and nanofibres have been discussed.

This paper introduces an artificial neuron which is a nano composite continuous sensor. The continuous nano sensor is fabricated as a thin and narrow polymer film sensor that is made of carbon nanotubes composites with a PMMA or a silicone matrix. The sensor can be embedded onto a structure like a neuron in a human body and it can detect deteriorations of the structure. The electrochemical impedance and dynamic strain response of the neuron change due to deterioration of the structure where the sensor is located. A network of the long nano sensor can form a structural neural system to provide large area coverage and an assurance of the operational health of a structure without the need for actuators and complex wave propagation analyses that are used with other methods. The artificial neuron is expected to effectively detect damage in large complex structures including composite helicopter blades and composite aircraft and vehicles.

In this study, We had surface-treated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) for improving hydrogen storage capacity. The SWNTs were treated by heat treatment, acid treatment and fluorinated at various temperatures. The SWNTs were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and TEM and estimated hydrogen storage capacities at 303K. As shown Raman spectra and TEM images, the structure of fluorinated SWNTs were stable at 423K but changed to the MWNTs-like structure or onion structure over 523K. Hydrogen storage capacity of SWNTs fluorinated at 423K was remarkably increased 2.6 times than that of pristine SWNTs. For SWNTs fluorinated at 573K, the amount of hydrogen adsorbed wasn't increased compared with SWNTs fluorinated at 423K. Therefore, high hydrogen storage capacity of SWNTs could be archived by fluorinated condition at 423K, which was not changed SWNT structure.

Vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes are grown on silicon oxide substrate at 950$^{\circ}C$ by thermal chemical vapor deposition using $C_{2}H_2$. Three catalytic metals such as iron(Fe), cobalt (Co), and nickel(Ni) are used as catalyst, we found that the growth rate of carbon nanotubes for three catalyst particles are in an order of Fe > Ni > Co. All carbon nanotubes are revealed to have bamboo structure with no encapsulated catalytic particles, the diameter of carbon nanotubes depend on the catalyst, the tip and the compartment sheets of bamboo structure also depend on the shape of catalytic particles.

This paper presents a novel structural composition for artificial bone scaffolds with an appropriate biocompatibility and biodegradability capability. To achieve this aim, carbon nanotubes, due to their prominent mechanical properties, high biocompatibility with the body and its structural similarities with the natural bone structure are selected in component of the artificial bone structure. Also, according to the piezoelectric properties of natural bone tissue, the barium titanate, which is one of the biocompatible material with body and has piezoelectric property, is used to create self-healing ability. Furthermore, due to the fact that, most of the bone tissue is consists of hydroxyapatite, this material is also added to the artificial bone structure. Finally, polycaprolactone is used in synthetic bone composition as a proper substrate for bone growth and repair. To demonstrate, performance of the presented composition, the mechanical behaviour of the bone scaffold is simulated using ANSYS Workbench software and three dimensional finite element modelling. The obtained results are compared with mechanical behaviour of the natural bone and the previous bone scaffold compositions. The results indicated that, the modulus of elasticity, strength and toughness of the proposed composition of bone scaffold is very close to the natural bone behaviour with respect to the previous bone scaffold compositions and this composition can be employed as an appropriate replacement for bone implants.

With the increasing importance of environmental issues, the cementitious materials with self-cleaning or photocatalytic properties by introducing TiO₂ materials have been gaining a lot of attention. In this work, the influence of TiO₂ particle size and structure on its photocatalytic effect in cement paste was investigated. The degradation of methylene blue solution was used as the parameter for evaluating the photocatalytic effect of micro-TiO2 (m-TiO₂), nano-TiO2 (n-TiO₂), and TiO₂ nanotube (TNT). Moreover, the effect of these three TiO₂ materials on the cement hydration products was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermgravimetric analysis (TG). According to the results, it can be found that all of the TiO₂ materials promoted the formation of hydration products, especially TNT. On the other hand, the m-TiO₂ exhibited a better photocatalytic effect compared to other materials.

폴리우레아 소재는 폴리우레탄 화학결합과 높은 유사성을 가지고 있으면서, 높은 기계적 강성 및 탄성을 가지고 있어 경량 복합재의 고분자 기지 상으로 연구되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이방성을 가진 CNT (carbon nanotube)와 GO (graphene oxide)를 폴리우레아 기지 상에 첨가하여 제작한 복합재를 제작하였고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 원자힘현미경 이용해 CNT와 GO의 각각 1차원의 선형 및 2차원의 층상의 이방성을 확인한 후, 5 wt%으로 각각 폴리우레아 Resin에 혼합 후 cross-link 형성 및 건조 과정을 거쳐 복합재를 제작하였다. FTIR과 Raman 분광법을 이용해 제조한 CNT/폴리우레아와 GO/폴리우레아 복합재의 화학적 구조를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 폴리우레아와 첨가물의 화학결합 변화없이 혼합된 것이 확인되었다. 전자현미경을 이용해 첨가제/폴리우레아/유리섬유 직물 복합재의 표면과 단면에서의 CNT와 GO의 분포를 관찰하였다. 인장 강도 시험 결과, 1 wt%의 CNT와 GO가 첨가된 폴리우레아의 경우 인장강도 향상이 관측되었다.
