본 연구에서는 단일 벽(Single-wall) 구조를 갖는 나노크기의 속이 빈(hollow) 볼(Ball)형(NBs; Nano-balls), 짧은 길이 튜브(S-NTs; Short-fiber Nano-tubes)형 및 긴 길이 튜브(L-NTs; Long-fiber Nano-tubes) 물질을 동일한 조성 Al/Ge=1.33을 갖는 Aluminogermanate(ALGE) Precursor 최초 혼합용액의 단순한 pH 조절 과정에서 자기조합(Self-assembly)을 통해 성공적으로 합성하였다. 먼저 pH=13으로의 염기성화(Na/Al=28~30) 및 최종 pH=9 조건에서 5 nm의 균질한 크기를 갖으며, 화학조성인 Al/Ge=1.5~1.6인 속이 빈 구조의 NBs가 합성되었다. pH=13으로의 염기성화 및 최종 pH=4 조건에서는 3.3 nm 지름, 길이 15~20 nm, Al/Ge=2.6~2.8의 S-NTs가 합성되었다. 그러나 pH=9로 염기성화(Na/Al=3.8) 시킨 후 최종 pH=4조건에서는 나노-튜브의 길이가 100 nm 이상인 L-NTs가 처음으로 합성되었다. 이러한 결과는 ALGE Precursor로부터 -Ge-OH 표면에서의 $H^+$-dissociation 정도 차이, 즉, $Na^+$ 양 및 최종 pH 조건을 달리함으로써 의도하는 형태의 ALGE 나노물질 유도가 가능함을 시사한다.

High purity carbon nano fibers/tubes (CNF/Ts) which contain 97% pure graphitic carbon are prepared by a new catalytic method. These carbon nano fibers/tubes are ready to use without any further purification. The striking feature of this method is the production of carbon nano fibers/tubes of narrow distribution range. The developed catalytic method also produces pure hydrogen. An additional advantage of this catalytic method is that catalyst can be reused without reactivation. Ni:Cu catalyst system is embodied into SCHOTT-DURAN filter disc of large pore size (40-100 mm). Due to the production of hydrogen in the reaction catalyst stability is enhanced and deactivation process is considerably slowed down.

Carbon Nano Tubes could be either metallic or semi-conducting in nature, depending on their diameter. Its photocatalytic behavior has given an impetus to use it as an anti-microbial agent. More than 95% Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria got killed when exposed to Carbon Nano Tubes for 30 minutes in presence of sunlight. Carbon Nano Tubes are supposed to have smooth surface on to which it accumulates positive charges when exposed to light. The surface that is non illuminated has negative charge. At the cellular level microorganisms produce negative charges on the cell membrane, Therefore damaging effect of multi walled carbon nano tubes (exposed to light) on the microorganisms is possible. In this paper, photo catalytic killing of microbes by multi walled carbon nano tubes is reported. Killing was due to damage in the cell membrane, as seen in SEM micrographs. Moreover biochemical analysis of membrane as well as total cellular proteins by SDS PAGE showed that there was denaturation of membrane proteins as well as total proteins of both the microbes studied. The killed microbes that showed a decrease in number of protein bands (i.e. due to breaking down of proteins) also showed an increase in level of free amino acids in microbes. This further confirmed that proteins got denatured or broken down into shorter units of amino acids. Increased level of free amino acids was recorded in both the microbes treated with multi walled carbon nano tubes and sunlight.

Methane hydrate is crystalline ice-like compounds which formed methane gas enters within water molecules composed cavity at specially temperature and pressure condition, and water molecule and each other from physically-bond. $1m^3$ hydrate of pure methane can be decomposed to the maximum of $172m^3$ at standard condition. If these characteristics of hydrate are reversely utilized, natural gas is fixed into water in the form of hydrate solid. Therefore the hydrate is considered to be a great way to transport and store natural gas in large quantity. Especially the transportation cost is known to be 18~24% less than the liquefied transportation. However, when methane hydrate is formed artificially, the amount of consumed gas is relatively low due to a slow reaction rate between water and methane gas. In this study, for the better hydrate reaction rate, there is make nano fluid using ultrasonic dispersion of carbon nano tube. and then, Experiment with hydrate formation by nano fluid and methane gas reaction. The results show that when the carbon nano tubes of 0.004 wt% was added to pure water, the amount of consumed gas was about 300% higher than that in pure water and the hydrate formation time decreased.

In this paper aeroelastic behavior of 3-phase nano-composite beam-plate with double delaminations is investigated. It is tried to study the effect of carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) on critical flutter pressure of reinforced damaged nano-composite structures. In this case, the CNTs are appending to the polymer matrix uniformly. The Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka model is used to obtain the effective material properties of 3-phase nano-composite beam-plate. To investigate the aeroelastic behavior of delaminated beam-plate subjected to supersonic flow, it is assumed that the damaged segments are forced to vibrate together. The boundary conditions and auxiliary conditions at edges of delaminated segments are used to predict critical flutter pressure. The influence of CNTs and different delamination parameters such as delamination length, axial position and its position through thickness are investigated on critical flutter pressure.

The electrophoretic deposition process of Ni nano-particles was employed for self-repairing of heat exchanger tubes. For electrophoretic deposition of Ni nano-particles on pitted Ni alloy specimen, a constant electric field of 100 V $cm^{-1}$ was applied to the specimen for 180 s in Ni-dispersed solution. It was found that as electrophoretic deposition proceeded, the size of the pit remarkably decreased due to the agglomeration of Ni nano-particles at the pit. This strongly suggests that the electrophoretic mobility of the charged particles is larger for the pit with a higher current value rather than outer surfaces with a lower current value.

This paper presents a study of geometric nonlinear forced vibration of carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) reinforcement composite plates on nonlinear elastic foundations. The plate is bonded with piezoelectric layers. The von Karman geometric nonlinearity assumptions with classical plate theory are employed to obtain the governing equations. The Galerkin and homotopy perturbation method (HPM) are utilized to investigate the effect of carbon nano-tubes volume fractions, large amplitude vibrations, elastic foundation parameters, piezoelectric applied voltage on frequency ratio and primary resonance. The results indicate that the carbon nano-tube volume fraction, applied voltage and elastic foundation parameters have significant effect on the hardening response of carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (CNTRC) plates.

Carbon nano tubes (CNTs)를 흡착제로 사용하여 회분식 실험을 통해 염료 Eosin Y의 흡착특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 CNTs는 비표면적이 $106.9m^2/g$, 기공부피는 $1.806cm^3/g$, 기공직경은 $163.2{\AA}$이었다. CNTs를 이용한 Eosin Y의 흡착실험은 흡착시간, 초기 pH (2~10), 염료 농도(100, 150 및 200 mg/L), 흡착제의 양(0.05~1.0 g)과 온도(293, 313 및 333 K)를 변수로 사용하여 수행하였다. 흡착은 pH와 온도가 낮을수록 잘 이루어졌으며, Langmuir 모델식에 잘 적용되었다. 또한 흡착반응은 유사 2차 속도식에 잘 적용되었으며, 온도가 증가함에 따라 흡착량이 감소하였다. 입자 내 확산 모델 결과는 흡착 과정에서 막확산과 입자확산이 동시에 일어나는 것을 시사해 주었다. 열역학적 해석에 의하면 CNTs에 의한 염료 Eosin Y의 흡착은 자발적이고 흡열특성을 보였다.
