현재 세계적인 이슈가 되고 있는 나노과학과 기술은 탄소나노튜브(CNTs)를 기반으로 한 바이오센서 성능 향상에 주력하고 있다. 다양한 기능성을 가진 CNTs는 높은 안정성과 바이오 수용체와 같은 생체물질과의 높은 적합성으로 이를 이용한 바이오 전극 기술에 힘입어 의학, 식품 및 환경에서 이슈가 되는 물질들을 검출하기 위한 산업적 응용 연구가 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 CNTs를 이용한 전기화학적 바이오센서에 있어서 시료가 액체 상태로 검출이 예상되는데 그 시료의 화학적 특성에 따른 금 전극 사이에 고정화된 CNTs의 전자전달현상을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 시료가 극성인 경우와 무극성인 경우 고정화된 CNTs의 전자전달 현상이 다르게 나타났으며, 극성의 세기가 증가할수록 전자의 이동에 방해를 받는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 CNTs의 양끝에 존재하는 극성 작용기와의 상호작용에 의한 것으로서 센서 디바이스 전체를 시료 용액에 침투시켜 전자이동을 관찰한 결과와 달리 안정적으로 저항값을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다. 향후 민감도가 높은 CNTs 기반 나노바이오센서 개발 시 시료의 효과적인 전처리 공정에서 이러한 용매의 극성을 고려한 최적화 연구가 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoric acid (D2EHPA)와 carbon nanotubes (CNTs)를 polysulfone (PSf)에 고정화시켜 PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드를 제조하였으며, 제조한 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거특성을 살펴보았다. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) 및 Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) 분석을 통하여 PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드의 형태적 특성들을 조사하였다. PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거는 운전시간 60 min 정도에서 평형에 도달하였으며, 속도 실험결과는 유사 2차 속도식에 잘 부합하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거에서 Langmuir 식으로부터 구한 최대 제거량은 4.75 mg/g이었다. PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거효율은 추출제 D2EHPA 만을 사용하는 경우보다 CNTs를 첨가함으로써 Sr(II)의 제거량이 2.5배 정도 향상되는 결과를 보였다.

Carbon nanotube composite is considered to be a good candidate material for composite material because of its excellent mechanical property and low density under high temperature as well as good wear and frictional properties. In this study, tribological characteristics of carbon nanotube aluminum composite were evaluated using pin-on-disk wear tester. Spark Plasma Sintering method is more effective than Hot Pressing method in terms of wear and friction. The composite with 1% CNT has the lowest friction and wear characteristic.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have used as an electron field emitter of the field emission display (FED) due to their characteristics of high-electron emission, rapid response and low power consumption. However, to commercialize the FED with CNT emitter, some fundamental problems regarding life time and emission efficiency have to be solved. In this study, we investigated the metal coated CNT as a field emitter on which metal nanoparticles were coated by chemical modification. Metal nanoparticles, such as Ru, Pd, were synthesized by solution reduction method. The size of the metal nanoparticle has the range of 2 - 5 nm. Surface was modified chemically with the use of ionic surfactant which changed the surface charge of nanoparticles.

본 연구에서는 DC bias가 인가된 유도결합형 플라즈마 열선 화학기상증착법을 이용하여 580$^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 탄소나노튜브를 수직 배향시켰다. 성장된 탄소나노튜브의 기판으로는 강화유리 위에 촉매층으로 Ni과 전도층으로 Cr을 300/200 ${\AA}$(Ni/Cr) 증착된 것으로 R-F magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 제작하였다. 성장 시 RF power와 DC bias power는 150W와 80W이며 텅스텐 필라멘트 power는 7∼8 A로 인가하였다. 성장된 탄소나노튜브는 속이 비어 있는 다중벽으로 이루어 졌으며 성장된 탄소나노튜브 끝단에는 금속 촉매로 보이는 Ni이 존재하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 탄소나노튜브는 흑연화도가 우수하며 그에 따라 탄소나노튜브의 전계 방출 특성도 우수하게 평가되었다. 성장된 탄소나노튜브의 구동 전압은 약 3 V/${\mu}m$이었다.

Recently, the use of thermal conductive polymeric composites is growing up, where the polymers filled with the thermally conductive fillers effectively dissipate heat generated from electronic components. Therefore, the management of heat is directly related to the lifetime of electronic devices. For the purpose of the improvement of thermal conductivity of composites, fillers with excellent thermally conductive behavior are commonly used. Thermally conductive particles filled polymer composites have advantages due to their easy processibility, low cost, and durability to the corrosion. Especially, carbon-based 1-dimensional nanomaterials such as carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbon nanofiber (CNF) have gained much attention for their excellent thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and low thermal expansion coefficient than the metals. This paper aims to review the research trends in the improvement of thermal conductivity of the carbon-based materials filled polymer composites.

Fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) are being increasingly used for a wide range of engineering applications owing to their high specific strength and stiffness. However, their through-the-thickness performance lacks some of the most demanding physical and mechanical property requirements for structural applications, such as aerospace vehicles and military components. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs), due to their excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, offer great promise to improve the weak properties in the thickness direction and impart multi-functionality without substantial weight addition to FRPs. This paper reviews the progress made to date on i) the techniques developed for integration of CNTs/ CNFs into FRPs, and ii) the effects of the addition of these nanofillers on the interlaminar properties, such as such interlaminar shear strength, interlaminar fracture toughness and impact damage resistance and tolerance, of FRPs. The key challenges and future prospects in the development of multiscale CNT-FRP composites for advanced applications are also highlighted.

This paper deals with the free vibration behavior of rotating composite beams reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under uniform thermal loads. The temperature-dependent beam material is assumed to be a mixture of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in an isotropic matrix and five different functionally graded (FG) distributions of CNTs are considered according to the variation along the thickness, namely the UD-uniform, FG-O, FG-V, FG-Λ and FG-X distributions where FG-V and FG-Λ are unsymmetrical patterns. Considering the Timoshenko beam theory (TBT), a new finite element formulation of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FGCNTRC) beam is created for the first time. And the effects of several essential parameters including rotational speed, hub radius, effective material properties, slenderness ratio, boundary conditions, thermal force and moments due to temperature variation are considered in the formulation. By implementing different boundary conditions, some new results of both symmetric and non-symmetrical distribution patterns are presented in tables and figures to be used as benchmark for further validation. In addition, as an alternative advanced composite application for rotating systems exposed to thermal load, the positive effects of CNT addition in improving the dynamic performance of the system have been observed and the results are presented in several tables and figures.

In the present study, nonlinear dynamic response of polymer-CNT-fiber multiscale nanocomposite plate resting on elastic foundations in thermal environments using the finite element method is performed. In this regard, the governing equations are derived based on Inverse Hyperbolic Shear Deformation Theory and von $K{\acute{a}}rm{\acute{a}}n$ geometrical nonlinearity. Three type of distribution of temperature through the thickness of the plate namely, uniform linear and nonlinear are considered. The considered element is C1-continuous with 15 DOF at each node. The effective material properties of the multiscale composite are calculated using Halpin-Tsai equations and fiber micromechanics in hierarchy. The carbon nanotubes are assumed to be uniformly distributed and randomly oriented through the epoxy resin matrix. Five types of impulsive loads are considered, namely the step, sudden, triangular, half-sine and exponential pulses. After examining the validity of the present work, the effects of the weight percentage of SWCNTs and MWCNTs, nanotube aspect ratio, volume fraction of fibers, plate aspect, temperature, elastic foundation parameters, distribution of temperature and shape of impulsive load on nonlinear dynamic response of CNT reinforced multi-phase laminated composite plate are studied in details.
