The influence of the water vapor on the growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was investigated. SWCNTs were synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition of acetylene over Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst with injection of water vapor. The morphologies and structures of the water-assisted SWCNTs were investigated according to the growth conditions such as water vapor concentrations, flow rate of the gas, furnace temperature, and growth time. Water-assisted SWCNTs exhibited large bundle morphological features with well-alignment of each CNT, while SWCNTs synthesized in the absence of water vapor showed entangled CNT with the random orientation. We also found that the diameter of the SWCNT bundle could be controlled by the growth condition. In our optimal growth condition, the product yield and the purity were 300 wt. % and 75%, which were 7.5 and 2.5 times higher than those of SWCNTs synthesized without water vapor, respectively. More detail discussion will be offered at the poster presentation.

A carbon nanotube (CNT) of diameter ~20 nm has been synthesized by spray pyrolysis of turpentine oil using Ni/Fe catalyst. Pellet of CNTs has been used as a target to produce semiconducting carbon thin film of band gap 1.4 eV. Presence of oxygen pressure in the pulse laser deposition (PLD) chamber helped to control the $sp^3/sp^2$ ratio to achieve the desired band gap. Results are discussed with the help of Raman spectra, SEM TEM micrographs and optical measurements suggest that semiconducting carbon thin film deposited by PLD technique has retained its nanotubes structure except that its diameter has increased from 20 nm to 150 nm.

탄소나노튜브(CNT) 기반의 멤브레인은 높은 물 전달률과 직경에 따른 이온 배제율로 해수담수, 물질 정화 등을 위한 분리막으로써의 가능성을 보여 주었다. 이온 선택성은 CNT 기반 멤브레인의 응용 분야를 확대하기 위한 중요한 요소이며, 기능기를 이용하여 이온 선택성의 조절이 가능함이 보고되었다. 다양한 원자가/크기의 이온이 혼합될 경우, 이온-기능기간 작용력 뿐만 아니라 이온-이온간의 작용력, 이온의 크기에 의한 반발력 등이 복합적으로 작용한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 분자동역학 전산모사를 통하여, 상이한 원자가/크기를 가진 이온의 혼합이 기능화된 CNT의 이온 선택성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Potential of Mean Force 계산을 통하여 이온 투과에 대한 자유 에너지 장벽을 계산하였으며, CNT 크기 변화, 전하량 변화를 통하여 이온 선택성과 배제에 영향을 미치는 요소를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 CNT 멤브레인을 이용한 분리막 설계, 생체 이온 전달 채널 모사 등에 유용할 것으로 기대한다.

We present here an efficient and simple method for preparation of highly active Pd heterogeneous catalyst (CNT-Pd), specifically by reaction of dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium ($Pd(PPh_3)_2Cl_2$) with thiolated carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The as-prepared CNT-Pd catalysts demonstrated an excellent catalytic activity for the carbon-carbon (C-C) cross-coupling reactions (i.e. Suzuki, Stille, and decarboxylative coupling reactions) under mild conditions. The CNT-Pd catalyst could easily be removed from the reaction mixture; additionally, in the decarboxylative coupling of iodobenzene and phenylpropiolic acid, it showed a six-times recyclability, with no loss of activity. Moreover, once its activity had decreased by repeated recycling, it could easily be reactivated by the addition of phosphine ligands. The remarkable recyclability of the decarboxylative coupling reaction is attributable to the high degree of dispersion of Pd catalysts in CNTs. Aggregation of the Pd catalysts is inhibited by their strong adhesion to the thiolated CNTs during the chemical reactions, thereby permitting their recycling.

A powder-in-sheath rolling method was applied to a fabrication of a carbon nano tube (CNT) reinforced aluminum composite. A STS304 tube with an outer diameter of 34 mm and a wall thickness of 2 mm was used as a sheath material. A mixture of pure aluminum powders and CNTs with the volume contents of 1, 3, 5 vol was filled in the tube by tap filling and then processed to 73.5% height reduction by a rolling mill. The relative density of the CNT/Al composite fabricated by the powder-in-sheath rolling decreased slightly with increasing of CNTs content, but exhibited high value more than 98. The grain size of the aluminum matrix was largely decreased with addition of CNTs; it decreased from $24{\mu}m$ to $0.9{\mu}m$ by the addition of only 1 volCNT. The average hardness of the composites increased by approximately 3 times with the addition of CNTs, comparing to that of unreinforced pure aluminum. It is concluded that the powder-in-sheath rolling method is an effective process for fabrication of CNT reinforced Al matrix composites.

Since the early work of Tersoff and Hamann on the theory of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), many theoretical approaches have been developed in order to gain further physical insight into the real space image that this technique provides. In this Paper, the STM image of Carbon nanotubes (CNT's) was calculated through the theoretical study. The optimized structure of CNT's was simulated using Brenner's hydrocarbon potential. The structure of simulation is (5. 5) armchair CNT and (10. 0) zigzag CNT. Also we have used that the extended Huckel tight binding (EHTB) theory already provides a fairly good qualitative description of the main processes that control the final contrast in the STM image. we found that the shape of the calculated images is hardly dependent on the exact electronic charge distribution at the surface. The STM images are not too sensitive to the precise electronic structure but, rather, they reflect its qualitative features. As a result of the simulation, The STM images of CNT's and the electronic density distribution were investigated. It found that the EHTB theory is appropriate for STM image calculation and that the STM images are in agreement with the result of Experiment.

Herein, sulfonated carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been prepared in dilute sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) via a novel sulfonation approach based on gas-liquid interfacial plasma (GLIP) at room temperature. The sulfonic acid groups and total acid groups densities of CNT after GLIP treatment in 2 M H₂SO₄ for 45 min can reach to 0.53 mmol/g and 3.64 mmol/g, which is higher than that of sulfonated CNT prepared under 0.5 M / 1 M H₂SO₄. The plasma sulfonated CNT has been applied as catalysts for the conversion of microcrystalline cellulose to glucose. The effect of hydrolysis temperature and hydrolysis time on the conversion rate and product distribution have been discussed. It demonstrates that the total conversion rate of cellulose increasing with hydrolysis temperature and hydrolysis time. Furthermore, the GLIP sulfonated CNT prepared in 2 M H₂SO₄ for 45 min has shown high catalytic stability of 85.73 % after three cycle use.

본 실험에서는 탄소나노튜브(CNT) 및 나노클레이(clay)가 포함된 폴리스티렌(PS) 및 스티렌계 공중합체 나노복합재료의 물성에 대해 연구하였다. 스티렌계 공중합체의 공단량체(comonomer)로는 vinylbenzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride(VTAC)를 사용하여 스티렌/VTAC 공중합체(SVTAC)를 유화중합에 의해 제조하였다. 이와 같이 제조한 폴리스티렌 및 SVTAC 공중합체 에멀젼에 CNT와 clay를 종류 및 함량을 변화시키면서 혼합하는 방법으로 나노복합재료를 제조하였다. PS/CNT 나노복합재료 보다 공단량체를 첨가하여 제조한 SVTAC/CNT 나노복합재료가 더 높은 전기 전도도를 나타내었다. 또한 유화중합시 유화제의 함량을 증가시켜서 제조한 경우에 더 좋은 전기 전도도를 얻을 수 있었다. 이것은 공단량체와 유화제가 CNT 분산 및 전기전도에 긍정적으로 작용하였기 때문이라 생각된다. 나노복합재료 내에서의 CNT의 분산을 알아보기 위하여 TEM을 사용하여 분석한 결과 comonomer의 첨가 및 유화제의 함량이 나노복합 재료 내에서 CNT의 최종 분산에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 열적 및 동역학적 물성들을 DSC와 DMA로 측정하여 comonomer 및 유화제의 함량, clay 및 CNT의 첨가가 나노복합체의 물성에 어떠한 영향을 주는지에 대해 조사하였다.
