Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous production of aligned carbon nanotubes: a step closer to commercial realization
Rodney Andrews,David Jacques,Apparao M. Rao,Frank Derbyshire,Dali Qian,X. Fan,Elizabeth C. Dickey,J. Chen +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-purity aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes were synthesized through the catalytic decomposition of a ferrocene-xylene mixture at ; 6758C in a quartz tube reactor and over quartz substrates, with a conversion of ; 25% of the total hydrocarbon feedstock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of Carbon Multiwall Nanotube/Polymer Composites by Shear Mixing
TL;DR: In this article, the percolation threshold of nanotubes in poly(propylene) and poly(polystyrene) matrices was investigated and a small increase in elastic modulus and decrease in tensile strength at low nanotube loading was observed, but as the concentration was increased there was a progressive increase in both strength and stiffness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis and Application
TL;DR: A simple method for purifying and healing structural defects in the nanotubes is described and the effects of reactor temperature, reaction time, and carbon partial pressure on the yield, purity, and size of the MWNTs produced are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermogravimetric Analysis of the Oxidation of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes: Evidence for the Role of Defect Sites in Carbon Nanotube Chemistry
David Bom,Rodney Andrews,David Jacques,John E. Anthony,Bailin Chen,Mark S. Meier,John P. Selegue +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that multiwalled nanotubes (MWNTs) annealed at 2200 to 2800 °C are more air stable than as-produced MWNTs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and structural annealing of multiwalled carbon nanotubes at graphitization temperatures
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of graphitization on the structural perfection of multi-walled carbon nanotubes were investigated and the results showed that the graphitisation procedure was able to remove residual metal catalyst in the nanotube and reduce the wall defects as reflected in reduced interlayer spacing between the graphene shells.
