Buckling and free vibration analysis of sandwich micro plate (SMP) integrated with piezoelectric layers embedded in orthotropic Pasternak are investigated in this paper. The refined Zigzag theory (RZT) is taken into consideration to model the SMP. Four different types of functionally graded (FG) distribution through the thickness of the SMP core layer which is reinforced with single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are considered. The modified couple stress theory (MCST) is employed to capture the effects of small scale effects. The sandwich structure is exposed to a two dimensional magnetic field and also, piezoelectric layers are subjected to external applied voltages. In order to obtain governing equation, energy method as well as Hamilton's principle is applied. Based on an analytical solution the critical buckling loads and natural frequency are obtained. The effects of volume fraction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), different distributions of CNTs, foundation stiffness parameters, magnetic and electric fields, small scale parameter and the thickness of piezoelectric layers on the both critical buckling loads and natural frequency of the SMP are examined. The obtained results demonstrate that the effects of volume fraction of CNTs play an important role in analyzing buckling and free vibration behavior of the SMP. Furthermore, the effects of magnetic and electric fields are remarkable on the mechanical responses of the system and cannot be neglected.

This model is proposed to describe the buckling behavior of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in an elastic medium taking into account the combined effects of the magnetic field, the temperature, the nonlocal parameter, the number of walls. Using Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory, thin cylindrical shell theory and Van der Waal force (VdW) interactions, we develop a system of partial differential equations governing the buckling response of CNTs embedded on Winkler, Pasternak, and Kerr foundations in a thermal-magnetic environment. The pre-buckling stresses are obtained by applying airy's stress function and an adjacent equilibrium criterion. To estimate the nonlocal critical buckling load of CNTs under the simultaneous effects of the magnetic field, the temperature change, and the number of walls, an optimization technique is proposed. Furthermore, analytical formulas are developed to obtain the buckling behavior of SWCNTs embedded in an elastic medium without taking into account the effects of the nonlocal parameter. These formulas take into account VdW interactions between adjacent tubes and the effect of terms involving differences in tube radii generally neglected in the derived expressions of the critical buckling load published in the literature. Most scientific research on modeling the effects of magnetic fields is based on beam theories, this motivation pushes me to develop a cylindrical shell model for studying the effect of the magnetic field on the static behavior of CNTs. The results show that the magnetic field has significant effects on the static behavior of CNTs and can lead to slow buckling. On the other hand, thermal effects reduce the critical buckling load. The findings in this work can help us design of CNTs for various applications (e.g. structural, electrical, mechanical and biological applications) in a thermal and magnetic environment.

Recently, dense sensor instrumentation for structural health monitoring has motivated the need for novel passive wireless sensors that do not require a portable power source, such as batteries. Using a layer-by-layer self-assembly process, nano-structured multifunctional carbon nanotube-based thin film sensors of controlled morphology are fabricated. Through judicious selection of polyelectrolytic constituents, specific sensing transduction mechanisms can be encoded within these homogenous thin films. In this study, the thin films are specifically designed to change electrical properties to strain and pH stimulus. Validation of wireless communications is performed using traditional magnetic coil antennas of various turns for passive RFID (radio frequency identification) applications. Preliminary experimental results shown in this study have identified characteristic frequency and bandwidth changes in tandem with varying strain and pH, respectively. Finally, ongoing research is presented on the use of gold nanocolloids and carbon nanotubes during layer-by-layer assembly to fabricate highly conductive coil antennas for wireless communications.

탄소나노튜브는 우수한 기계적 특성, 전기적 및 자기적 성질 뿐만 아니라 나노 크기의 직경 및 높은 종횡비를 나타낸다. 이는 고강도 고분자 복합체의 이상적인 보강제로 사용할 수 있다. 기능성이 부과된 탄소나노튜브는 기능성 재료 및 복합재료의 제조와 같은 분야에서 아주 유력한 재료로 믿어진다. 탄소나노튜브-고분자 복합체는 탄소나노튜브의 우수한 기능성과 고분자의 우수한 가공성을 가질 것으로 기대된다. 그러나, 탄소나노튜브는 보통 반 델 바알스 작용에 의한 안정화된 번들을 형성하기 때문에 고분자 기지에 배열이나 분산이 상당히 어렵다. 탄소나노튜브 강화복합체의 제조에서 가장 큰 이슈는 고분자내에 탄소나노튜브의 효과적인 분산이며, 기지내에 탄소나노튜브의 배열과 양의 조절이다. 고분자 기지내에 탄소나노튜브의 분산은 용액혼합, 벌크 혼합, 용융혼합, 즉시 고분자화 반응 및 탄소나노튜브의 화학적 기능화 등과 같은 몇 가지 방법이 있다. 본 논평에서는 이들 방법과 고성능 탄소나노튜브-고분자 복합체의 제조에 대하여 서술하고자 한다.

질소 도핑에 의한 Pyridinic-N, Pyrrolic-N, Graphitic-N과 같은 결합 구성의 형성은 탄소나노소재의 물리적 특성을 조절하거나 새로운 물성을 부여하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 멜라민을 도펀트 소스로 혼합하여 탄소 나노튜브(CNT)의 질소 결합 구성을 조절하는 간단하고 비용 효율적인 접근 방식을 제안한다. Stirring, Bath sonication 및 Tip sonication과 같은 세 가지 기계적 방법을 통해 멜라민을 탄소나노튜브와 혼합한 후 열처리를 통해 질소 도핑을 진행하였다. CNT 대비 멜라민 비율이 높을수록 Pyrrolic-N의 비율이 높게 나타났으며 Stirring을 통해 혼합한 경우 가장 높은 Pyridinic-N의 비율을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법은 기계적인 혼합 방법을 이용해 탄소나노튜브에 다양한 종류의 질소 도펀트를 선택적으로 형성할 수 있는 손쉬운 방법으로, 향후 질소가 도핑된 탄소나노물질의 응용을 용이하게 할 것으로 기대된다.

The composites of alginate, carbon nanotube, and iron(III) oxide were prepared for the removal of heavy metal in aqueous pollutant. Both alginate and carbon nanotube were used as an adsorbent material and iron oxide was introduced for the easy recovery after removal of heavy metal to eliminate the secondary pollution. The morphology of composites was investigated by FE-SEM showing the carbon nanotubes coated with alginate and the iron oxide dispersed in the alginate matrix. The ferromagnetic properties of composites were shown by including iron(III) oxide additive. The copper ion removal was investigated with ICP AES. The copper ion removal efficiency increased greatly over 60% by using alginate-carbon nanotube composites.

고무 혼합물의 가류특성 및 전자석 장치를 이용하여 범용고무를 기지로 하는 이방성 자기유동 고무 복합재료(MRRC)의 제조가 가능하였다. 철 입자(IP) 함유량의 증가에 따라 MRRC의 자기 투과율은 증가하였으며, 불규칙 배향에 비해 2 tesla로 배향시킨 경우가 1.8~2배 높게 나타났다. 2 tesla로 배향한 CNT만 강화한 MRRC의 자기 투과율은 3.7%로 자기장의 영향이 뚜렷이 확인되었다. IP 90 + CNT 5 & 2 tesla 배향의 MRRC는 압축시험 시 0.49 tesla의 자기장 하에서 압축응력이 기지에 비해 2.1배 증가하였다. IP 함유량 증가에 따라 자기유동(MR) 효과는 증가하였으며, IP 90 & 2 tesla 배향의 경우 20.4%의 MR 효과를 보였다. 시험편 제조 시 및 압축시험 시 부여한 자기력 세기가 MRRC의 압축특성에 미치는 영향이 크다고 판단된다.

In thisstudy, the vibration problem ofthermo elastic carbon nanotubes conveying pulsating viscous nano fluid subjected to a longitudinal magnetic field is investigated via Euler-Bernoulli beam model. The controlling partial differential equation of motion is arrived by adopting Eringen's non local theory. The instability domain and pulsation frequency of the CNT is obtained through the Galerkin's method. The numerical evaluation of thisstudy is devised by Haar wavelet method (HWM). Then, the proposed model is validated by analyzing the critical buckling load computed in presentstudy with the literature. Finally, the numerical calculation ofsystem parameters are shown as dispersion graphs and tables over non local parameter, magnetic flux, temperature difference, Knudsen number and viscous parameter.
