Vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays are grown on a moving substrate, demonstrating continuous growth of nanoscale materials with long-range order. A cold-wall …
This chapter covers deposition and growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on micron-size engineering fibers. The focus is on glass, carbon, and aramid fibers and deposition after …
Catastrophic structural failures are the cause of many physical and personal losses, at a worldwide cost estimated at billions of dollars per year. Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) …
Figure 1: Controlled-morphology polymer nanocomposites:(a) Image of 1% aligned-CNT forest, 1% aligned-polymer nanocomposite (A-PNCs) and pure epoxy samples,(b) SEM …
Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs), sometimes called forests or carpets, are a promising material due to their unique physical and scale-dependent physical properties [1 …
Aligned nanocomposites are fabricated by mechanical densiication and polymer wetting of aligned CNT forests [1]. Polymer wetting is driven by capillary forces that arise upon contact …
High-current field-emission arrays (FEAs) have garnered much interest in the areas of displays and microwave devices [1]. While most of today's research in field emitters has …
