Carbon nanotubes are drawing wide attention of research communities and several industries due to their versatile capabilities covering mechanical and other multi-physical properties. However, owing to extreme operating conditions of the synthesis process of these nanostructures, they are often imposed with certain inevitable structural deformities such as single vacancy and nanopore defects. These random irregularities limit the intended functionalities of carbon nanotubes severely. In this article, we investigate the mechanical behaviour of double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) under the influence of arbitrarily distributed single vacancy and nanopore defects in the outer wall, inner wall, and both the walls. Large-scale molecular simulations reveal that the nanopore defects have more detrimental effects on the mechanical behaviour of DWCNTs, while the defects in the inner wall of DWCNTs make the nanostructures more vulnerable to withstand high longitudinal deformation. From a different perspective, to exploit the mechanics of damage for achieving defect-induced shape modulation and region-wise deformation control, we have further explored the localized longitudinal and transverse spatial effects of DWCNT by designing the defects for their regional distribution. The comprehensive numerical results of the present study would lead to the characterization of the critical mechanical properties of DWCNTs under the presence of inevitable intrinsic defects along with the aspect of defect-induced spatial modulation of shapes for prospective applications in a range of nanoelectromechanical systems and devices.

In this paper, frequency vibrations of double-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been investigated based upon nonlocal elastic theory. The inference of small scale is being perceived by establishing nonlocal Love shell model. The wave propagation approach has been operated to frame the governing equations as eigen value system. An innovational nonlocal model to examine the scale effect on vibrational behavior of armchair, zigzag and chiral of double-walled CNTs. An appropriate selection of material properties and nonlocal parameter has been considered. The influence of dimensionless nonlocal parameter has been studied in detail. The dominance of end condition via nonlocal parameter is explained graphically. The results generated furnish the evidence regarding applicability of nonlocal shell model and also verified by earlier published literature.

촉매 화학기상증착법을 이용하여 합성된 이중층 탄소나노튜브를 가지고 전계전자 방출원을 제작하여 이들의 신뢰성 있는 전계전자 방출특성을 조사하였다. 합성된 탄소 필라멘트들은 TEM, TGA, 그리고 Raman 분석을 통하여 결함이 없고 순도가 높은 이중층 탄소나노튜브가 합성이 되었음을 확인하였다. 이들 이중층 탄소나노튜브 전계전자 방출원은 이전극 구조에서 낮은 턴-온 전계와 높은 전류밀도의 전계전자 방출 특성을 보여주었고, 균질한 전계방출 패턴과 좋은 전계방출 안정성을 나타내었다.

각종 전자 방출원 및 디스플레이 응용분야에서 우수한 가능성을 보이고 있는 이중벽 탄소나노튜브를 Tetra Hydro Furan(THF) 열분해 방법으로 대량합성 하였다. 본 연구에서는 Fe-Mo 금속이 MgO 담지체에 담지된 촉매에 THF 를 공급하여 이중벽 탄소나노튜브를 합성하였다. 이 합성된 이중벽 탄소나노튜브는 비정질 탄소파티클이 없는 고순도로 합성되었으며, 탄소나노튜브 다발의 직경은 12 - 20 nm 로 균일하게 분포하였고, 성장 길이는 수십 마이크로미터 였다. TEM 분석 결과 이중벽 탄소나노튜브 5 - 10 가닥이 뭉쳐있는 다발 형태로 존재하였고, 합성된 이중벽 탄소나노튜브의 Raman spectrum 분석 결과 내부 직경이 0.9 - 1.5 nm, 외부 직경이 1.6 - 2.2 nm 의 직경 분포를 갖는 이중벽 구조의 탄소나노튜브가 합성되었음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 THF 가 이중벽 탄소나노튜브를 합성하는데 적합한 탄소공급원임을 제시한다.

We have investigated the synthesis and field emission properties of high-quality double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) using a catalytic chemical vapor deposition method and a hydrogen arc discharge method. The produced carbon materials using a catalytic CVD method indicated high-purity DWCNT bundles free of amorphous carbon covering on the surface. By adopting a hydrogen arc discharge method, we could obtained high-purity DWCNTs in large-scale. DWCNTs showed low turn-on voltage and higher emission stability compared with SWCNTs.

This paper aims to study vibration characteristics of chiral and zigzag double-walled carbon nanotubes entrenched on Donnell shell model. The Eringen's nonlocal elastic equations are being combined with Donnell shell theory to observe small scale response. Wave propagation is proposed technique to establish field equations of model subjected to four distinct end supports. A nonlocal model has been formulated to explore the frequency spectrum of both chiral and zigzag double-walled CNTs along with diversity of indices and nonlocal parameter. The significance of scale effect in relevance of length-to-diameter and thickness- to- radius ratios are discussed and displayed in detail. The numerical solution based on this nonlocal Donnell shell model can be further used to predict other frequency phenomena of double-walled and multi-walled CNTs.

The carbon nanotube (CNT) represents one of the most unique inventions in the field of nanotechnology. CNTs have been studied closely over the last two decades by many researchers around the world due to their great potential in different fields. CNTs are rolled graphene with $SP^2$ hybridization. The important aspects of CNTs are their light weight, small size with a high aspect ratio, good tensile strength, and good conducting characteristics, which make them useful as fillers in different materials such as polymers, metallic surfaces and ceramics. CNTs also have potential applications in the field of nanotechnology, nanomedicine, transistors, actuators, sensors, membranes, and capacitors. There are various techniques which can be used for the synthesis of CNTs. These include the arc-discharge method, chemical vaporize deposition (CVD), the laser ablation method, and the sol gel method. CNTs can be single-walled, double-walled and multi-walled. CNTs have unique mechanical, electrical and optical properties, all of which have been extensively studied. The present review is focused on the synthesis, functionalization, properties and applications of CNTs. The toxic effect of CNTs is also presented in a summarized form.

본 연구에서는 Urea와 산 처리로 질소 및 산소 관능기가 도입된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 각각 제조하였으며, 표면처리에 따른 전기이중층 커패시터 (EDLCs) 특성을 관찰하였다. XPS, zeta-potential, 및 BET 분석방법을 이용하여 구조특성을 확인하였으며, 전기화학적 특성은 1 M 황산용액의 전해질에서 각각 50 $mVs^{-1}$과 100 $mVs^{-1}$의 주사속도로 순환전류 전압곡선 특성 실험을 통해 고찰하였다. 실험 결과로부터 MWNTs의 질소 원소구성비가 늘어날수록 축전용량이 증가하는 것을 확인하였으며, Urea 처리된 MWNTs의 축전용량이 가장 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 이는 전극 표면과 전하 활성종 간의 젖음성이 증가하고, 표면 관능기의 밀도가 증가하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.
