Bridging the Junction: Electrical Conductivity of Carbon Nanotube Networks
Kevin Conley,Antti J. Karttunen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the electrical conductivity of networks of CNTs containing Group 11 metals (Au, Ag, and Cu), s − p metals (K, Ca, and Al), AuCl 3 , AuCl 4 , and Cl using quantum mechanical methods and semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory is characterized along the nanotubes and across the intersecting junction.
Dissertation
Comportement thermoélectrique de matériaux composites pour applications aéronautiques
TL;DR: In this paper, the integration of micro-and nano-charges in composite structures is discussed. But the authors focus on the integration in the case of the fuselage and do not consider the effect of these charges on the performance of the composite.

Solid-State Dye Sensitized Optoelectronic Carbon Nanotube-Wires: An Energy Harvesting Damage Sensor With Nanotechnology Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel preparation method of solid state photovoltaic carbon nanotubes (CNT) yarns has been successfully developed by depositing and grafting TiO2 thin films on CNT yarn substrates using a simple sol-gel method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Requirements of amount of carbon nanotubes for damage detection in large polymer composite structures
Ali Naghashpour,Suong V. Hoa +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the amount of CNTs needed to be more than a certain lower limit to assure conductivity throughout the large structures, which is not the case.
Journal ArticleDOI
Core-tube morphology of multiwall carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, the cross-sectional morphology of multiwalled carbon nanotubes restrained radially and circumferentially by an infinite surrounding elastic medium, subjected to uniform external hydrostatic pressure, is investigated.
