In recent years, new materials and technology has been developed using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as an alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) to fulfil the requirements towards novel technological drive. These technologies offer products having a broad range of conductivity, excellent transparency, neutral color tone, good adhesion, abrasion resistance as well as mechanical robustness. In addition, SWCNTs can be solution processed to replace the sophisticated vacuum techniques at high temperatures. In the present work, transparent conducting films were fabricated from the purified SWCNTs. Dispersion of purified SWCNTs was accomplished in 1,2-dichlorobenzene without using surfactants or polymers following ultrasonic process. We achieved coating of nanotubes film on poly ether suiphone (PES) for an average sheet resistance ~110 ${\Omega}/{\Box}$ of optical transmittance 80% at 550 nm. Conventional spin coating method was followed to fabricate films from the purified and dispersed nanotubes solution. The results will be presented.

본 연구에서는 열화학기상증착법과 나노구조의 Fe/$Al_2O_3$/Si 촉매층을 이용하여 단일벽 탄소나노튜브를 합성하고 마이크로웨이브 조사를 통해 금속성 단일벽 탄소나노튜브를 선택적으로 제거하고 반도체성 단일벽 탄소나노튜브를 분리하였다. 조사시간의 변화에 따른 단일벽 탄소나노튜브의 전기적, 구조적 특성을 분석한 결과, 조사시간이 120초인 경우, 금속성의 단일벽 탄소나노튜브가 선택적으로 제거되어 약 95%의 반도체성 단일벽 탄소나노튜브를 분리할 수 있었으며, 뿐만 아니라 남아있는 반도체성 단일벽 탄소나노튜브가 손상 없이 우수한 결정성을 지니는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 방법은 반도체성 단일벽 탄소 나노튜브를 기반으로 한 전계효과 트랜지스터 및 다양한 나노전자소자의 응용에 유용한 정보를 제공하리라 기대한다.

적층구조 촉매층(Al/Fe/Al)을 이용하여 열 화학기상증착(thermal chemical vapor deposition ; TCVD)법을 통해 탄소 나노튜브를(carbon nanotubes ; CNTs)를 합성하였다. Raman spectroscopy, SEM 및 HR-TEM 분석결과, G/D는 22.7이며, 직경이 $1.14\;{\sim}\;1.32\;nm$인 금속성의 단일벽 탄소 나노튜브(single-walled CNTs ; SWCNTs)의 다발(bundle)들이 기판 전체에 network 구조로 형성되어 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 최상층의 Al이 촉매인 Fe의 응집현상(agglomeration)을 막아주는 역할을 하여 작고 균일한 핵 생성 사이트(nucleation site)를 통해 좁은 직경분포를 가진 단일벽 탄소 나노튜브가 합성되었음을 알 수 있다.

We describe the fabrication of transparent conducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) film on flexible substrate following the conventional spin coating method. The fabricated film was post treated with diluted acid solution and its electrical and optical characterizations were performed. The electrical conductivity of SWCNTs film was enhanced and the film was found to be attached strongly with substrate after the post treatment.

Development of thin carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanoliquid film over the rough surface of a horizontal rotating disk is investigated by considering symmetric roughness either along the azimuthal or radial directions. The disk surface is either heated or cooled axisymmetrically from below. The effects of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are analyzed on the film thinning process with different types of base liquids. Closed form solutions for velocity and temperature field are obtained for small values of Reynolds number whereas the numerical solution is derived for moderate values of Reynolds number. It is found that fluid retention / depletion takes place when the roughness is symmetric along the azimuthal / radial directions. It is also seen that the film thinning rate enhances for MWCNTs compare to SWCNTs. Further it is found that two different heat transfer regions exits within the flow domain depending on the fact that heat is transferred from disk to liquid film and vice-versa.

We demonstrated the sensitivity of optically active single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with a diameter below 1 nm that were homogeneously dispersed in cement composites under a mechanical load. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was selected as the dispersing agent to achieve a homogeneous dispersion of SWCNTs in an aqueous solution, and the dispersion state of the SWCNTs were characterized using various optical tools. It was found that the addition of a large amount of DNA prohibited the structural evolution of calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate hydrate. Based on the in-situ Raman and X-ray diffraction studies, it was evident that hydrophilic functional groups within the DNA strongly retarded the hydration reaction. The optimum amount of DNA with respect to the cement was found to be 0.05 wt%. The strong Raman signals coming from the SWCNTs entrapped in the cement composites enabled us to understand their dispersion state within the cement as well as their interfacial interaction. The G and G' bands of the SWCNTs sensitively varied under mechanical compression. Our results indicate that an extremely small amount of SWCNTs can be used as an optical strain sensor if they are homogeneously dispersed within cement composites.

We developed a simple and effective purification method to obtain high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with low surface damage. The purification process consists of oxidization at $430^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in a furnace system of air atmosphere and homogenization in dilute hydrochloric acid solution for extremely short time. The role of homogenizer was examined during purification process in terms of purity and quality of purified SWCNTs. High-purity and low surface damage of SWCNT products was obtained using homogenizer which was operated at 8500 rpm for 10 min in the environment of 7 % HCI solution. From XRD spectra, we observed that metal catalysts were thoroughly removed. Raman spectra showed that the intensity values of crystallization ($I_{G}/I_{D}$) of purified SWCNTs were very similar with that of pristine SWCNTs. Moreover, the structure damage of purified SWCNTs was hard to find from electron microscopy. Consequently, homogenizing, which is a quick and simple manner, can be promising method for obtaining final SWCNTs with clearly high purity and crystallinity.

Bundles of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) were grown using catalytic layer supported by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Amine-SAMs were introduced on SiO2/Si substrate (SAMs/Si) there then iron nanoclusters solution was dropped on it through spin-coating (Fe/SAMs/Si). This catalytic template was used to grow CNTs and the synthesized carbon material was confirmed the bundles of dense SWCNTs with incorporation of ca.1% nitrogen. The SAMs has played an active role to support catalytic layer and also acted as a source of N-dope onto SWCNTs in CVD.

고립된 탄소나노튜브를 얻기 위해 계면활성제 Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate(SDS) 수용액에 단층 탄소나노튜브 분말을 넣어 초음파 처리를 하는 과정 중에 발생하는 물성 변화를 라만과 Photoluminescence를 통하여 연구하였다. 단층 탄소나노튜브(SWCNT) radial breathing mode(RBM)의 라만신호 세기의 변화는 SWCNT의 chirality에 따라 서로 다른 경향성을 보이고 초음파 처리 시간에 영향을 받음을 확인하였다. 또한 동일한 농도의 계면활성제에 담긴 SWCNT의 농도가 커지면 G-band 라만 진동수가 작아지면서 Photoluminescence 세기가 증가하는 현상을 관측하였다.

We propose an evaluation method of the relative content of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in SWCNT soot synthesized by arc discharge using UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectroscopy. In this method, we consider the absorbance of semiconducting and metallic SWCNTs together to calculate the relative content of SWCNTs with respect to a highly purified reference. Our method provides the more reliable and realistic evaluation of SWCNT content with respect to the whole carbonaceous content than the previously reported method.
