Multi-walled carbon nanotube/silver nanoparticles hybrid materials were easily synthesized by a mixing method of acid-oxidized nanotubes and the colloidal dispersion of silver nanoparticles. The silver colloidal dispersion was pre-synthesized by a chemical reduction of silver nitrate by dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of trisodium citrate dihydrate as capping agents. In the mixing method, approx...
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were used as filler to furan resin in the aim of producing an electrically conducting polymer composite that may be useful for electrode applications. The orientation of the nanotubes is controlled to prepare a composite with fillers unidirectionally oriented, which may result in higher electrical conductivity at one direction and at lower nanotube loading. Using the doctor...
Recent findings of extremely small diameter carbon nanotube and nanowire in the core of a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) have attracted interests from broad range of researchers. Direct observation of carbon nanotube is usually done using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). When nanotubes become smaller, it becomes harder to correctly understand the TEM images, not only because of the...
The multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs, mean diameter: 100–200nm) with nickel–phosphorous (Ni–P) coatings were obtained by an electroless deposition process. To prepare the MWCNTs covered with continual Ni–P layers, a pre-treatment procedure comprised of acid-cleaning, sensitization and activation has been developed. The resulting MWCNTs have a uniform distribution of the Ni–P layers coated on...
Nickel-fluorinated vapor growth carbon fiber (VGCF) composite films have been fabricated by using electrochemical deposition method from the plating bath containing a cationic fluorocarbon surfactant as the dispersing agent of fluorinated VGCF. The ESCA result confirmed the existence of metallic Ni and the fluorinated VGCF with C-F covalent bond structure in the composite film, while the SEM and TEM...
