Single walled carbon nanotubes were mixed with various metal powders by mechanical ball milling and sintered by spark plasma sintering processes. Two compositional (0.1 and 1 vol%) of the single walled carbon nanotubes were dispersed onto the pure aluminum, 5052 aluminum alloy, pure titanium, Ti6Al4Vanadium alloy, pure copper, and stainless steel 316L. Each composite powders were spark plasma sintered at $600^{\circ}C$ and well synthesized regardless of the matrices. Vickers hardness of the composite materials was measured and they exhibited higher values regardless of the carbon nanotubes composition than those of the pure materials. Moreover, single walled carbon nanotubes reinforced copper matrix composites showed highest enhancement between the other metal matrices system. We believe that low energy mechanical ball milling and spark plasma sintering processes are useful tool for fabricating of the carbon nanotubes-reinforced various metal matrices composite materials. The single walled carbon nanotubes-reinforced various metal matrices composite materials could be used as an engineering parts in many kind of industrial fields such as aviation, transportation and electro technologies etc. However, detail strengthening mechanism should be carefully investigated.

In this study, CNT/$TiO_2$ composites derived from various titanium alkoxides and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized and characterized. Surface areas and pore volumes of the CNT/$TiO_2$ samples showed catastrophic decrease due to deposition of titanium compounds. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results indicated that the MWCNTs were homogenously decorated and well-dispersed onto/into the composites without apparent agglomeration of $TiO_2$ particles. In the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, peaks of anatase and rutile phase were observed. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) spectra revealed the presence of major elements such as C and O with strong Ti peaks. According to the photocatalytic results, MB removal by a treatment with CNT/$TiO_2$ composites seems to have an excellent removal effect as order of CTIP, CTNB and CTPP composites due to a photolysis of the supported $TiO_2$, the radical reaction and the adsorptivity and absorptivity of the MWCNTs.

We report here flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) based on Ti-mesh electrodes that show good mechanical flexibility and electrical conductivity. $TiO_2$ nanotube arrays prepared by electrochemical anodizing Ti-mesh substrate were used as photoanode. A Pt-coated Ti-mesh substrate was used as counter electrode. The photoanodes were modified by coating a $TiO_2$ porous layer onto the $TiO_2$ nanotubes in order to increase the specific surface area. To increase the long term stability of the DSSCs, a gel type electrolyte was used instead of a conventional liquid type electrolyte. The DSSC based on $33.2{\mu}m$ long porous $TiO_2$ nanotubes exhibited a better energy conversion efficiency of ~2.33%, which was higher than that of the DSSCs based on non-porous $TiO_2$ nanotubes.

Thin films (< 30 nm) of titanium carbide (TiC) are coated on carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are directly grown on nano-sized ($\sim$ 500 nm in diameter) conical-type tungsten (W) tips, by employing an inductively coupled plasma-chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) technique. Any modification in structural properties (such as length to diameter ratio, crystal quality, and growth behavior) of CNTs due to TiC-coating has been monitored by using high-resolution TEM, field-emission SEM, and Raman spectroscopy. Driving voltage for obtaining the same level of emission current in CNTs-emitter is significantly reduced by TiC-coating. It is also worthy of being noted that the degradation of emission current due to prolonged operation (up to 30 h) is remarkably suppressed by TiC-coating.

Titanium (IV) dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most attractive d-block transition metal functional oxides. Many applications of TiO2 such as dye-sensitized solar cells and photocatalyst have been widely investigated. To utilize solar energy efficiently, TiO2 should be well-aligned with a high surface area and promote the charge separation as well as electron transport. Herein, the TiO2 nanotubes were successfully fabricated by a template-directed method. The electrospun PEO(Polyethylene oxide, Molecular weight, 400k)fibers were used as a soft template for coating with titanium dioxide using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. The deposition was conducted onto a template at 50$^{\circ}C$ by using titaniumisopropoxide [Ti(OCH(CH3)2)4; TTIP] as precursors of TiO2. While the as-deposited TiO2 layers onto PEO fibers were completely amorphous with atomic layer deposition, the TiO2 layers after calcination at 500$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h were properly converted into polycrystalline nanostructured hallow TiO2 nanotube. The TiO2 nanotube with high surface area can be easily handled and reclaimed for use in future applications related to solar cell fabrications.

본 연구의 목적은 NaF와 $H_3PO_4$를 사용하여 양극산화과정을 통해 나노튜브 제작 조건을 찾는 것이다. 절삭된 직경 15 mm, 두께 1.5 mm의 티타늄 디스크를 양극에, 백금을 음극에 연결하고 전극간의 거리는 10 mm가 되도록 하였다. $H_3PO_4$와 NaF 용액을 전해질로 하여 양극산화를 시행하였는데 전압, 전해질 농도, 산화시간을 달리하여 티타늄 디스크에 나노튜브를 형성하였다. 양극산화 후 24시간 동안 증류수로 세척한 후 24시간 동안 $40^{\circ}C$ 오븐에서 건조하고 시편의 표면구조 형상을 관찰 분석하였다. 실험 결과 0.5 wt % NaF에서 전압과 시간이 증가함에 따라 pore 형태의 초기 나노튜브 형성되었다. 1.0 wt % NaF에서 20 V, 20 분과 25 분에서 나노튜브가 생성되었고, 30 V에서 튜브의 형태가 커지면서 터지는 양상을 보였다. 2.0 wt % NaF에서 전압과 시간에 상관없이 적절한 나노튜브형태가 형성되지 않았다. $1M\;H_3PO_4$, 1.0 wt % NaF 전해용액, 20 V, 20분 양극산화 조건에서 티타늄 디스크 상에 가장 잘 정렬된 형태의 나노튜브 구조가 형성되었다. 양호한 형태의 나노튜브 형성을 위해서는 전해질의 종류에 따라 적절한 농도, 전압, 시간의 형성조건이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Background: The formation of a nanotube layer on a titanium nanotube (N-Ti) plate facilitates an active reaction between bone cells and the material surface via efficient delivery of the surface materials of the dental implant into the tissues. Studies have reported that Korean Red Ginseng extracts (KRGEs) are involved in a variety of pharmacological activities: we investigated whether implantation with a KRGE-loaded N-Ti miniimplant affects osteogenesis and osseointegration. Methods: KRGE-loaded nanotubes were constructed by fabrication on pure Ti via anodization, and MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured on the N-Ti. N-Ti implants were subsequently placed on a rat's edentulous mandibular site. New bone formation and bone mineral density were measured to analyze osteogenesis and osseointegration. Results: KRGE-loaded N-Ti significantly increased the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells compared with cells on pure Ti without any KRGE loading. After 1-4 weeks, the periimplant tissue in the edentulous mandibular of the healed rat showed a remarkable increase in new bone formation and bone mineral density. In addition, high levels of the bone morphogenesis protein-2 and bone morphogenesis protein-7, besides collagen, were expressed in the periimplant tissues. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that KRGE-induced osteogenesis and osseointegration around the miniimplant may facilitate the clinical application of dental implants.
