Vertically-aligned carbon nanotube membranes for water desalination and ultrafiltration

Trivedi, SamarthEdith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia2017

… of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes (VACNTs) were developed, and, through a spin coating process, spaces between adjacent VACNTs were filled with Poly(dimethylsiloxane) commonly known as PDMS. A prepared mixed matrix block was sliced into 25μm thick slices using the microtome machine. …

Increasing carbon nanotube forest density

McCarthy, Alexander PMassachusetts Institute of Technology2014

… with vertically aligned CNT forests (VACNTs). The specific capacitance of an EDLC scales with the specific surface area of the electrodes, thus this research seeks to increase the areal density of VACNTs, as areal density also scales with surface area. VACNT synthesis requires the …
