ABSTRACTCeramic barriers avoid catalyst diffusion to produce better multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT) on carbon fiber fabrics (CF). We developed a simple method to produce efficiently a silica layer from TEOS pyrolysis at similar conditions of CNT growth from camphor and ferrocene mixtures. This protective layer prevents iron diffusion and allows the vertical alignment of CNTs.

A newly designed gas phase thermal decomposition reactor, ohmically heating the catalytic sites, has been used to synthesize multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on carbon paper and stainless steel screen. Co-Ni catalyst particles were dispersed by a silane intermediate layer adsorbed onto the carbon fibers or the stainless steel threads of the supports. MWCNTs were obtained on both substrates by a tip grown mechanism. They are about 20 μm in length and 15–50 nm in diameter. A methanol pretreatment of the carbon fibers significantly increased the density of the tubes on the carbon paper, but the same treatment had a negative effect on stainless steel. The MWCNTs, which adhere firmly to the carbon paper and the stainless steel screen, may find applications as electrodes in fuel cells, sensors and in photonics.

Hydroxylated multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)/epoxy resin nanocomposites were prepared with ultrasonic dispersion and casting molding. The effect of hydroxylated MWNTs content on reactive activity of composites is discussed. Then the flexural and electrical properties were studied. Transmission electron microscope was employed to characterize the microstructure of nanocomposites. As a result, the reactive activity of nanocomposites obtained increases with the increasing content of MWNTs. When MWNTs content of the composites is 1 wt%, as compared to neat resin, the flexural strength increases from 143 Mpa to 156 MPa, the modulus increases from 3563 Mpa to 3691 MPa, and the volume and surface resistance of nanocomposites decrease by two orders of magnitude, respectively.

The growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from surface of carbon fibers rods (CFRs) as used supports is under investigation using the Fe-catalytic chemical vapor deposition method. TEM studies indicate that under the experimental conditions Fe catalysts on CFRs produces mostly bundles of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). SEM results show the best presence of bundles of MWCNTs for Fe catalysts of 6.5 mol % at 800°C.

By exploiting the dispersibility and rigidity of boehmite nanofibers (BNFs) with a high aspect ratio of 4 nm in diameter and several micrometers in length, multiwall-carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were successfully dispersed in aqueous solutions. In these sols, the MWCNTs were dispersed at a ratio of about 5–8% relative to BNFs. Self-standing BNF–nanotube films were also obtained by filtering these dispersions and showing their functionality. These films can be expected to be applied to sensing materials.
