Multifunctional Composites Using Carbon Nanotube Fiber Materials
… composite (NRLC) consisting of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) arrays that are interspersed between the plies of a fiber reinforced polymeric composite was developed. The MWCNT array and the polymer matrix are arranged within the laminated composite so that the new interfaces yield …

Wet-spinning of neat single-walled carbon nanotube fiber from 100+% sulfuric acid
Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNT) have been found to have excellent solubility in super acids such as 100+% H2SO4, and chlorsulfonic acid. The solutions display liquid crystalline behavior at high concentrations in super acids. Traditional wet-spinning method has been applied to SWNTs to make …

Carbon nano-relays for low power switching
In this thesis two unique carbon based nanoelectromechanical switches or carbon nano-relays are demonstrated as a toolkit for investigating NEMs based low power switching. The first is a vertical carbon nano-relay, consisting of a vertically aligned carbon nanotube/fiber (CN) between two contacts …

Electrospinning as a Processing Method for Electroactive Polymers and Composites
… electroactive materials were electrospun into fibers and fiber mats and then characterized with the intent of determining their utility in aerospace and biomedical applications such as micro-air vehicles and the cardiovascular system. Electrospun Graft Elastomers demonstrated potential as …

Carbon Nanotubides: an Alternative for Dispersion, Functionalization and Composites Fabrication
Negatively charged single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT), also called SWCNT polyelectrolytes and single-walled carbon nanotubides (SWCNTDs), are formed by the reduction (either chemical or electrochemical) of the SWCNT wall by alkali metals (or an electrode) to form negative charged SWCNTs …

Modelling the floating-catalyst method for carbon nanotube production
Carbon nanotube fiber, as a material, promises superior material properties to ordinary carbon fiber. It has higher tensile strength, as well as high electrical and thermal conductivity. The production process is implemented in several university rigs, as well as in some industrial settings, but …
