Journal ArticleDOI
Superhydrophobic Carbon Nanotube Forests
Kenneth K. S. Lau,José Bico,Kenneth B. K. Teo,Manish Chhowalla,Gehan A. J. Amaratunga,William I. Milne,Gareth H. McKinley,Karen K. Gleason +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the creation of a stable, superhydrophobic surface using the nanoscale roughness inherent in a vertically aligned carbon nanotube forest together with a thin conformal hydrophobic poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) coating on the surface of the nanotubes was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth process conditions of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition
Manishkumar Chhowalla,Kenneth B. K. Teo,Caterina Ducati,Nalin L. Rupesinghe,Gehan A. J. Amaratunga,Andrea C. Ferrari,Debdulal Roy,John Robertson,William I. Milne +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the growth of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes using a direct current plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system was reported, and the growth properties were studied as a function of the Ni catalyst layer thickness, bias voltage, deposition temperature, C2H2:NH3 ratio, and pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexible Electronics: The Next Ubiquitous Platform
Arokia Nathan,Arman Ahnood,Matthew T. Cole,Sungsik Lee,Yuji Suzuki,Pritesh Hiralal,Francesco Bonaccorso,Tawfique Hasan,Luis Garcia-Gancedo,A. Dyadyusha,Samiul Haque,Piers Andrew,Stephan Hofmann,James Moultrie,Daping Chu,Andrew J. Flewitt,Andrea C. Ferrari,Michael Kelly,John Robertson,Gehan A. J. Amaratunga,William I. Milne +20 more
TL;DR: The current status of flexible electronics is reviewed and the future promise of these pervading technologies in healthcare, environmental monitoring, displays and human-machine interactivity, energy conversion, management and storage, and communication and wireless networks is predicted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of filtered-ion-beam-deposited diamondlike carbon as a function of ion energy
P. J. Fallon,V.S. Veerasamy,C.A. Davis,John Robertson,Gehan A. J. Amaratunga,William I. Milne,J. Koskinen +6 more
TL;DR: Data are found to support deposition models in which the highly tetrahedrally bonded form on nonhydrogenated amorphous carbon arises from the subplantation of incident ions, giving rise to a quenched increase in density and strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wideband-tuneable, nanotube mode-locked, fibre laser
Fengqiu Wang,Aleksey Rozhin,Vittorio Scardaci,Zhipei Sun,Frank Hennrich,Ian H. White,William I. Milne,Andrea C. Ferrari +7 more
TL;DR: In principle, different diameters and chiralities of nanotubes could be combined to enable compact, mode-locked fibre lasers that are tuneable over a much broader range of wavelengths than other systems.
