A novel method for coating of carbon nanotube on cellulose fiber using 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid as a cross-linking agent

This article mainly studies the vibration of the carbon nanotubes embedded in elastic medium. A new novel method called the Hamiltonian-based method is applied to determine the frequency property of the nonlinear vibration. Finally, the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method is verified through the numerical results. The obtained results in this work are expected to be helpful for the study of the nonlinear vibration.

Butanetetracarboxylic Acid

Cross-linked fluff pulp fibers for use in, for example, acquisition layers in absorption products can be found in the patent literature. Cross-linking improves properties such as the wet resilience of fluff pulp fiber networks. Among the more commonly seen cross-linkers are polycarboxylic acids, such as 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA). These acids form ester bonds with the hydroxyl groups in the fiber wall. In this study, softwood kraft pulp fibers were cross-linked with BTCA. The swelling behavior of the fibers and properties related to acquisition in absorption products were studied. It was found that the water retention value (WRV) decreased as a consequence of the introduced cross-linker. After deprotonization of a large part of the introduced carboxylic acids, the WRV increased, but the cross-linker was still able to limit significant swelling of the fiber wall. The wet bulk under load of fiber networks, composed of cross-linked fibers, generally increased with a decrease in WRV. Furthermore, it was found that the property development obtained after a cross-linking reaction with BTCA may be predicted by introducing a relative reaction intensity, RIrel, that takes into account both time and temperature in the curing step. This shows that the time and temperature in the curing step are interchangeable.

Functionalization Of Carbon Nanotubes

The scale decomposition of a multi-scale system into small-scale order domains will reduce the complexity of the system and will subsequently ensure a success in nanomanufacturing. A novel method of assembling individual carbon nanotube has been developed based on the concept of scale decomposition. Current technologies for organized growth of carbon nanotubes are limited to very small-scale order. The nanopelleting concept is to overcome this limitation by embedding carbon nanotubes into micro-scale pellets that enable large-scale assembly as required. Manufacturing processes have been developed to produce nanopellets, which are then transplanted to locations where the functionalization of carbon nanotubes are required.

ABSTRACTSynthesis, mechanical testing, and modeling have been performed for a carbon nanotube material in which the nanotubes are functionalized with variable stiffness tethers (VST) capable of cross-linking the nanotubes. Tests using nanoindentation indicated a six-fold enhancement in the storage modulus when comparing the base material (the cross-linking agent with no nanotubes) to the composite (functionalized nanotube material) that contained 5.3 wt% of nanotubes. To understand how crosslinking the nanotubes may further alter the stiffness, a model of the system was constructed using nanotubes crosslinked with the VST. The model predicted that for a composite with 5 wt% nanotubes at random orientations, crosslinked with the VST, the bulk Young's modulus was reduced to 30% that of the non-crosslinked equivalent.
