This article is concerned with the free vibration problem for chiral double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNTs) modelled using the non-local elasticity theory and Euler Bernoulli beam model. According to the governing equations of non-local Euler Bernoulli beam theory and the boundary conditions, the analytical solution is derived and two branches of transverse wave propagating are obtained. The numerical results obtained provide better representations of the vibration behaviour of double-walled carbon nanotube, where the aspect ratio of the (DWCNTs), the vibrational mode number, the small-scale coefficient and chirality of double-walled carbon nanotube on the frequency ratio (${\chi}^N$) of the (DWCNTs) are significant. In this work, the numerical results obtained can be used to predict and prevent the phenomenon of resonance for the forced vibration analyses of double -walled carbon nanotubes.

Tunnel magnetoresistive devices using an individual multi-walled carbon nanotube were fabricated and their low-temperature electrical transport propertiers were investigated. With the ferromagnetic Co electrodes, the multi-walled carbon nanotube exhibited hysteretic magnetoresistance curve at low temperatures. Depending on the temperature and the bias current, the magnetoresistance ratio can be as high as 16% at the temperature of 2.2 K. Such high magnetoresistance ratio indicates a long diffusion length of the multi-walled carbon nanotube.

The transverse free vibration of chiral double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNTs) embedded in elastic medium is modeled by the non-local elasticity theory and Euler Bernoulli beam model. The governing equations are derived and the solutions of frequency are obtained. According to this study, the vibrational mode number, the small-scale coefficient, the Winkler parameter and chirality of double-walled carbon nanotube on the frequency ratio (xN) of the (DWCNTs) are studied and discussed. The new features of the vibration behavior of (DWCNTs) embedded in an elastic medium and the present solutions can be used for the static and dynamic analyses of double-walled carbon nanotubes.

탄소나노튜브는 뛰어난 역학적 성능 및 기능성으로 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있는 나노소재이다. 탄소나노튜브를 건설재료 분야에 활용하는 연구는 현재의 화두 중 하나로, 예전에 비해 점차 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 탄소나노튜브의 혼입률이 시멘트 페이스트의 압축강도 및 유변학적 물성에 미치는 영향을 검증한 문헌은 상대적으로 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone을 사용하여 수용액 분산된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 이용하여 시멘트 페이스트를 제조하고, 이의 유변학적 물성 및 압축강도 특성을 확인하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면, 탄소나노튜브의 혼입률이 증가할수록 소성점도 및 소성항복응력의 증가가 발생하였으며, 물시멘트비가 낮은 경우에 이러한 경향이 더욱 뚜렷하게 드러나는 것이 확인되었다. 탄소나노튜브 혼입 시멘트 페이스트의 압축강도는 물시멘트비가 0.30인 경우 탄소나노튜브 혼입률 0.1wt%에서, 물시멘트비가 0.40인 경우에는 혼입률 0.2wt%에서 최대가 되는 것으로 나타났다.

Poly (carbonate diol), isophrone diisocyanate와 dimethylol propionic acid로 부터 제조된 polyurethane prepolymer의 말단 NCO기를 aniline으로 capping시켜 aniline terminated waterborne polyurethane dispersion (ATWPUD)을 합성하였다. 이 ATWPUD와 물에 분산되어 있는 multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)를 혼합시켜 전도성 코팅 용액을 제조한 후, 이것을 polycarbonate 기재 위에 도포하여 코팅 막을 형성하였다. ATWPUD와 MWCNT를 혼합하여 얻어진 코팅 막의 표면저항 값은 $10^{7.6}{\sim}10^{7.7}{\Omega}/cm^2$로 순수한 waterborne polyurethane dispersion (WPUD)과 MWCNT의 혼합물로부터 제조된 코팅 막의 $10^{10.9}{\Omega}/cm^2$ 보다 우수한 전기전도도를 나타내었다. 또한 ATWPUD에 첨가되는 MWCNT의 양이 증가될수록 코팅 막의 전기전도도는 증가하였지만 연필경도 및 부착력은 감소되었다.

In the most of previous studies, researchers have restricted their own studies to consider the effect of single walled carbon nanotubes as a reinforcement on the vibrational behavior of structures. In the present work, free vibration characteristics of functionally graded annular plates reinforced by multi-walled carbon nanotubes resting on Pasternak foundation are presented. The response of the elastic medium is formulated by the Winkler/Pasternak model. Modified Halpin-Tsai equation was used to evaluate the Young's modulus of the multi-walled carbon nanotube/epoxy composite samples by the incorporation of an orientation as well as an exponential shape factor in the equation. The exponential shape factor modifies the Halpin-Tsai equation from expressing a straight line to a nonlinear one in the multi-walled carbon nanotubes wt% range considered. The 2-D generalized differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical tool is used to discretize the equations of motion and to implement the various boundary conditions. The effects of two-parameter elastic foundation modulus, geometrical and material parameters together with the boundary conditions on the frequency parameters of the plates are investigated. This study serves as a benchmark for assessing the validity of numerical methods or two-dimensional theories used to analysis of annular plates.

The present paper investigate the elastic buckling of chiral double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) under axial compression. Using the non-local elasticity theory, Timoshenko beam model has been implemented. According to the governing equations of non-local theory, the analytical solution is derived and the solution for non-local critical buckling loads is obtained. The numerical results show the influence of non-local small-scale coefficient, the vibrational mode number, the chirality of carbon nanotube and aspect ratio of the (DWCNTs) on non-local critical buckling loads of the (DWCNTs). The results indicate the dependence of non-local critical buckling loads on the chirality of single-walled carbon nanotube with increase the non-local small-scale coefficient, the vibrational mode number and aspect ratio of length to diameter.

Polystyrene/multi-walled carbon nanotube (PS/MWCNT) composites were prepared by the use of latex technology. The monodisperse PS latex was synthesized by an emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization from styrene/potassium persulfate/water system in the presence of ethanol. The MWCNTs were first treated with acid mixture to eliminate impurities, dispersed in deionized water driven by ultrasonicator, and then mixed with the PS latex. From these mixtures, PS/MWCNT composites were prepared by freeze-drying and subsequent compression molding. In the small-amplitude oscillatory shear experiments, both complex viscosity and storage modulus increased with increasing MWCNT content. A pronounced effect of MWCNT content was observed, resulting in larger storage modulus and stronger yield behavior at low frequencies when compared to unmodified PS. It showed a transition from viscous to elastic behavior with increasing MWCNT content. Over the MWCNT content of 3 wt%, the storage modulus was higher than the loss modulus across all frequencies.

In the current study, the nonlinear vibration properties of an embedded zigzag single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) are investigated. Winkler-type model is used to simulate the interaction of the zigzag SWCNTs with a surrounding elastic medium. The relation between deflection amplitudes and resonant frequencies of the SWCNT is derived through harmonic balance method. The equivalent Young's modulus and shear modulus for zigzag SWCNT are derived using an energy-equivalent model. The amplitude - frequency curves for large-amplitude vibrations are graphically illustrated. The simulation results show that the chirality of zigzag carbon nanolube as well as surrounding elastic medium play more important roles in the nonlinear vibration of the single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted an increasing attention due to their superior mechanical properties and potential application in industries. The strength of CNT has been predicted or calculated through several simulation techniques but actual experiments on stress-strain behavior are rare due to its dimensional limit, nanoscale positioning/manipulation, and instrumental resolution. We have attempted to observe straining responses of a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) with different growth methods by performing an in-situ tensile testing in a scanning electron microscope. Linear deformation and fracture behaviors of MWNT were successfully observed and its force-displacement curve was also measured from the bending stiffness and displacement of the force sensor and manipulator. We also obtained different tensile load of carbon nanotube with different growth methods.
