  • 젖산 전극은 환자의 건강상태와 스트레스 수준, 및 운동선수의 피로도를 실시간으로 모니터링하는 젖산 센서 또는 젖산 연료전지 전극으로 활용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 젖산 산화효소, 카탈라아제, 미토콘드리아로 구성된 고성능 전극을 제작하고 전극의 표면분석 및 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 단일벽 탄소나노튜브로 개질된 탄소종이(CPSWCNT)는 개질 전보다 전기 전도성이 크게 향상되었다. 젖산 산화효소, 카탈라아제, 그리고 미토콘드리아가 부착된 전극(CP-SWCNT-LOx-Cat-Mito)은 젖산 산화효소와 카탈라아제가 부착된 전극에 비하여 많은 전류를 생산하였다. 빌리루빈 산화효소(BOD)가 부착된 전극(CP-SWCNT-BOD)이 생산하는 환원전류량은 전해질의 산소 존재 유무에 따라 크게 영향을 받았다. CP-SWCNT-LOx-Cat-Mito (anode)와 CP-SWCNT-BOD (cathode)로 구성된 연료전지는 133 ㎂/cm2로 방전 시 0.2 V의 셀 전위를 유지하며 29 ㎼/cm2의 전력을 생산하였다. 본 연구결과는 미토콘드리아가 젖산 센서 및 연료전지 성능 향상에 필수적인 생체물질임을 시사한다.

  • This work examines vibration and bending response of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite plates resting on the Pasternak elastic foundation. Four types of distributions of uni-axially aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes are considered to reinforce the plates. Analytical solutions determined from mathematical formulation based on hyperbolic shear deformation plate theory are presented in this study. An accuracy of the proposed theory is validated numerically by comparing the obtained results with some available ones in the literature. Various considerable parameters of carbon nanotube volume fraction, spring constant factors, plate thickness and aspect ratios, etc. are considered in the present investigation. According to the numerical examples, it is revealed that the vertical displacement of the plates is found to diminish as the increase of foundation parameters; while, the natural frequency increase as the increment of the parameters for every type of plate.

  • Most of the early studies on plates vibration are focused on two-dimensional theories, these theories reduce the dimensions of problems from three to two by introducing some assumptions in mathematical modeling leading to simpler expressions and derivation of solutions. However, these simplifications inherently bring errors and therefore may lead to unreliable results for relatively thick plates. The main objective of this research paper is to present 3-D elasticity solution for free vibration analysis of continuously graded carbon nanotube-reinforced (CGCNTR) rectangular plates resting on two-parameter elastic foundations. The volume fractions of oriented, straight single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction. In this study, an equivalent continuum model based on the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach is employed to estimate the effective constitutive law of the elastic isotropic medium (matrix) with oriented, straight carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The proposed rectangular plates have two opposite edges simply supported, while all possible combinations of free, simply supported and clamped boundary conditions are applied to the other two edges. The formulations are based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory. A semi-analytical approach composed of differential quadrature method (DQM) and series solution is adopted to solve the equations of motion. The fast rate of convergence of the method is demonstrated and comparison studies are carried out to establish its very high accuracy and versatility. The 2-D differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical tool is used to discretize the governing equations and to implement the boundary conditions. The convergence of the method is demonstrated and to validate the results, comparisons are made between the present results and results reported by well-known references for special cases treated before, have confirmed accuracy and efficiency of the present approach. The novelty of the present work is to exploit Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach in order to reveal the impacts of the volume fractions of oriented CNTs, different CNTs distributions, various coefficients of foundation and different combinations of free, simply supported and clamped boundary conditions on the vibrational characteristics of CGCNTR rectangular plates. The new results can be used as benchmark solutions for future researches.

  • 투명 전도성 탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotube, CNT) 필름을 터치스크린이나 디스플레이 소자 등의 전극에 응용할 목적으로, CNT 필름의 전기저항 및 광 투과도를 향상시키기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 단일벽 CNT (single-walled CNT)를 여러 가지 계면활성제로 분산시킨 수용액으로부터 제조한 CNT 필름을 산 처리하여 저항 및 투과도의 변화를 관찰하였다. 우선 계면활성제로 분산시킨 CNT 수용액을 알루미나 재질의 필터에서 정량적으로 진공 필터링하여 CNT 필름을 제조하였다. 알루미나 필터를 sodium hydroxide (NaOH) 수용액으로 용해시켜 제거함으로써 얻은 CNT 필름을 유리기판 위에 부착시킨 후 광 투과도와 먼 저항 (sheet resistance)을 측정하였다. CNT 필름을 질산 ($HNO_3$) 용액에 처리하였을 때 투과도는 1~5 % 향상되었으며, 면 저항은 계면활성제로 분산시킨 CNT 필름 대부분에서 감소하였다. 이는 CNT 표면에 코팅되어 있던 계면활성제들이 산에 의해 제거되었기 때문일 것으로 추측된다. 특히 sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (NaDDBS)로 제조한 CNT 필름의 경우, 질산을 처리 전에는 투과도 83%, 면 저항 450 $\Omega$/sq.의 특성을 보였으나, 처리 후에는 각각 86 %, 350 $\Omega$/sq.로 향상되었다. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)과 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)를 사용하여 제조한 CNT 필름의 면 저항이 가장 뚜렷한 감소를 보였다. 제조된 필름과 삼 처리된 필름 특성을 Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy 등을 이용하여 분석하였고, 4-point probe로 면 저항을 측정하였다.

  • 탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotube) 필름은 낮은 전기저항, 높은 투명도, 우수한 기계적 강도 및 유연성, 열적 안정성 등의 뛰어난 특성을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 계면활성제로 분산시킨 수용액으로부터 제조된 단일벽 탄소나노튜브(single-walled CNT) 필름의 면저항(sheet resistance) 특성을 비교하였다. 먼저 나노튜브의 분산을 위해 널리 사용되는 계면활성제인 sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)를 기준으로 탄소나노튜브의 양, 원심분리 시간, 초음파 세기 및 시간 등의 최적 공정조건을 정한 후 각 계면활성제에 대해 분산을 위한 최적 첨가량을 알아내어 계면활성제 별로 탄소나노튜브 수용액을 제조하였다. 다양한 계면활성제로 분산된 단일벽 탄소나노튜브 수용액을 알루미나 재질의 필터에 정량적으로 vacuum-filtration하여 필름을 만들었다. 이 필름들의 면저항을 측정함으로써 계면 활성제에 따른 전기적 특성의 차이를 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 여러 가지 계면활성제 중 sodium dodecylbenze nesulfonate (NaDDBS)를 사용하여 만든 필름이 가장 낮은 면저항을 나타내었으며, 이는 NaDDBS가 단일벽 탄소나노 튜브 다발들을 개개의 튜브로 잘 분산시키기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

  • The biocompatibility of materials used for biomedical applications depends on chemical composition, mechanical stiffness, surface energy, and roughness. The plasma treatment and etching process is a very important technology in the biomedical fields due to possibility of controlling the surface chemistry and properties of materials. In this work, $N_2/H_2$ plasma were treated on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) paper and characterization of treated SWCNTs paper was carried out. Also we investigated neurite outgrowth from SH-SY5Y on treated SWCNTs paper. The results indicated that $N_2/H_2$ plasma-modified SWCNTs paper enhanced neuronal cell adhesion, viability, neurite outgrowth and branching in vitro and exerted a positive role on the health of neural cells.

  • Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) are transparent in the visible and show conductivity comparable to copper, and are environmentally stable. SWCNT films have high flexibility, conductivity and transparency approaching that indium tin oxide (ITO), and can be prepared inexpensively without vacuum equipment. Transparent conducting Films (TCF) of SWCNTs has the potential to replace conventional transparent conducting oxides (TCO, e.g. ITO) in a wide variety of optoelectronic devices, energy conversion and photovoltaic industry. However, the sheet resistance of SWCNT films is still higher than ITO films. A decreased in the resistivity of SWCNT-TCFs would be beneficial for such an application. We fabricated SWCNT sheet with $KAuBr_4$ on PET substrate. Arc-discharge SWCNTs were dispersed in deionized water by adding sodum dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactant and sonicated, followed by the centrifugation. The dispersed SWCNT was spray-coated on PET substrate and dried on a hotplate at $100^{\circ}C$. When the spray process was terminated, the TCF was immersed into deionized water to remove the surfactant and then it was dried on hotplate. The TCF film was then treated with AuBr4-, rinsed with deionized water and dried. The surface morphology of TCF was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The sheet resistance and optical transmission properties of the TCF were measured with a four-point probe method and a UV-visible spectrometry, respectively. $HNO_3$ treated SWCNT films with Au nano-particles have the lowest 61 ${\Omega}$/< sheet resistance in the 80% transmittance. Sheet resistance was decreased due to the increase of the hole concentration at the washed SWCNT surface by p-type doping of $AuBr_4{^-}$.

  • Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are attractive material because of their superior electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties. Furthermore, their geometric features such as a large aspect ratio and a small radius of curvature at tip make them ideal for low-voltage field emission devices including backlight units of liquid crystal display, lighting lamps, X-ray source, microwave amplifiers, electron microscopes, etc. In field emission devices for display applications, the phosphor anode is positioned against the CNT emitters. In most case, light generated from the phosphor by electron bombardment passes through the anode front plate to reach observers. However, light is produced in a narrow depth of the surface of the phosphor layer because phosphor particles are big as much as several micrometers, which means that it is necessary to transmit through the phosphor layer. Hence, a drop of light intensity is unavoidable during this process. In this study, we fabricated a transparent cathode back plate by depositing an ultra-thin film of single walled CNTs (SWCNTs) on an indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrate. Two types of phosphor anode plates were employed to our transparent cathode back plate: One is an ITO glass substrate with a phosphor layer and the other is a Cr-coated glass substrate with phosphor layer. For the former case, light was radiated from both the front and the back sides, where luminance on the back was ~30% higher than that on the front in our experiments. For the other case, however, light was emitted only from the cathode back side as the Cr layer on the anode glass rolled as a reflecting mirror, improving the light luminance as much as ~60% compared with that on the front of one. This study seems to be discussed about the morphologies and field emission characteristics of CNT emitters according to the experimental parameters in fabricating the lamps emitting light on the both sides or only on the cathode back side. The experimental procedures are as follows. First, a CNT aqueous solution was prepared by ultrasonically dispersing purified SWCNTs in deionized water with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). A milliliter or even several tens of micro-liters of CNT solution was deposited onto a porous alumina membrane through vacuum filtration. Thereafter, the alumina membrane was solvated with the 3 M NaOH solution and the floating CNT film was easily transferred to an ITO glass substrate. It is required for CNT film to make standing CNTs up to serve as electron emitter through an adhesive roller activation.

  • In this paper, the nonlinear cylindrical bending behavior of functionally graded nanocomposite plates reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is studied using an efficient and simple refined theory. This theory is based on assumption that the in-plane and transverse displacements consist of bending and shear components in which the bending components do not contribute toward shear forces and, likewise, the shear components do not contribute toward bending moments. The material properties of SWCNTs are assumed to be temperature-dependent and are obtained from molecular dynamics simulations. The material properties of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composites (FG-CNTCRs) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction, and are estimated through a micromechanical model. The fundamental equations for functionally graded nanocomposite plates are obtained using the Von-Karman theory for large deflections and the solution is obtained by minimization of the total potential energy. The numerical illustrations concern the nonlinear bending response of FG-CNTRC plates under different sets of thermal environmental conditions, from which results for uniformly distributed CNTRC plates are obtained as comparators.
