Development and characterization of single wall carbon nanotube–Nafion composite actuators
(Elsevier: Materials Science and Engineering B, 2005-02-15)
The development and characterization of thin film polymeric actuators has been performed for single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT)–Nafion composite systems. Previous work in our laboratory illustrated that incorporation of ...
Growth of multi-walled carbon nanotubes by injection CVD using cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl dimer and cyclooctatetraene iron tricarbonyl
(Elsevier: Materials Science and Engineering B, 2005-02-15)
Preferential oriented multiwalled carbon nanotubes were prepared by the injection chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using either cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl dimer or cycloctatetraene iron tricarbonyl as the iron ...
Single wall carbon nanotube-polymer solar cells
(NASA: Glenn Research Center Technical Reports, 2005)
Investigation of single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT)-polymer solar cells has been conducted towards developing alternative lightweight, flexible devices for space power applications. Photovoltaic devices were constructed ...
Electrochemical transformation of SWNT/Nafion composites
(The Electrochemical Society: Electrochemical and Solid State Letters, 2004-10-08)
The electrochemical performance of single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT)/Nafion composite electrodes were studied in sulfuric acid solutions. Electrochemical oxidation of the highly dispersed SWNTs within the Nafion matrix ...
Growth and characterization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes at NASA Glenn Research Center
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2003-08-17)
Aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes were prepared by the injection chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using an iron-based organometallic compound as the catalyst source and toluene as the solvent. The concentration ...
Fuel cell applications of nanotube-metal supported catalysts
(Materials Research Society Proceedings Fall 2002: Materials for Fuel Cells and Fuel Processors, 2002-12-02)
Novel carbon materials with nanometer dimensions are of potentially significant importance for a number of advanced technological applications. Within this report we describe the results for the electrochemical characterization ...
Single wall carbon nanotube-Nafion composite actuators
(The American Chemical Society: Nano Letters, 2002-11)
Single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT)-Nafion composite actuators have been demonstrated for 0.1-18% w/w doping of purified SWNTs within the polymer matrix. The high purity SWNTs, >95% w/w, were homogeneously dispersed into ...
Effects of adsorbed O2, H2, CO2 and H2O on the optical properites of pure and polymer encapsulated single walled carbon nanotubes
(American Physical Society: Annual APS March Meeting, 2002-03-18)
We have measured the optical absorption spectra of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and SWCNT-polymer matrix samples at several temperatures and pressures. An in-situ cell was designed that allowed for heating of ...
