Abstract The vigorous response of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to microwave irradiation, leading the release a large amount heat, is used locally melt plastic matrix adjacent within period seconds. This results in intercalation MWNTs into polymer at room temperature without any physical damage polymer. so‐called “microwave welding” approach creates new paradigm for formation very strong MWNT–polymer bonds use adhesive, and represents significant step forward fabrication functional...
Abstract As an effort to predict effectively the actual collapse load of a structure, series numerical studies on stability shell structures are made. The difference in formulation between two types linear buckling loads, classical and fully linearized, is first demonstrated. Their correlations with respect limit structure compared, finally critical approximations obtained at various stages nonlinear analysis study pattern convergence load. It found that linearized analysis, when combined...
The drastic temperature rise of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in response to microwave irradiation was applied weld a MWCNT paste on polymer substrate within few seconds. It provides strong bonding between the and without thermal damage substrate. A flexible field emitter made from welded polycarbonate, showing excellent electrical conduction field-emission properties even under bending. works with turn-on voltage 0.8V∕μm due direct electron transfer. By this method, printed circuits...
The conductivity of carbon nanotubes and polyvinyl alcohol composites is significantly improved by addition Fe2(SO4)3. coordinated cations between play a crucial role in lowering intertube hopping magnitude.
The NiO nanohoneycomb with a concave surface profile within the hexagons was used as reaction vessel because of good thermal stability and chemical inertness. Annealing PVD films Au, Ag, Au–Ag at 700–1000 °C resulted in formation nearly spherical identical nanocrystals.
The unique heating property of microwave irradiation on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was applied in fabrication a new architecture two-dimensional metallic nanobowl array thermoplastic substrate. Vertically aligned CNT film grown metal coated polystyrene (PS) submicron sphere and then transferred onto polycarbonate (PC) substrate by heating. back diffracted light spectra this structure were measured discrepancies between the that predicted from diffraction relationship studied. It is suggested...
Polystyrene loaded with 4–5 wt.% carbon nanotubes exhibits a 94% electromagnetic adsorption at radiofrequency; the underlying mechanism involves impedance matching and maximization of energy transfer air–composite interface.
A new method for the fabrication of periodic CNT arrays was developed in this study, which involves use inverse nano-sphere lithography (INSL) process. Mo a honeycomb pattern, acting as catalyst-poisoning layer, produced by (NSL) process; poisoned catalyst and prevented growth where deposited, result, pattern obtained. Using method, uniformity array can be improved preventing negative effect arrangement defects self-assembled monolayers. The size period adjusted careful selection polystyrene...
Unpurified carbon nanotubes exhibit enhanced electromagnetic absorption at radiofrequencies and the underlying mechanism involves polarization of odd alternate π-radicals encapsulated in carbonaceous impurities. The intertube junctions behave as capacitive elements are found capable absorbing radiation low frequency domain.
