Modification of multi-walled carbon nanotubes by plasma treatment and further use as templates for growth of CdS nanocrystals

The functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in He:O plasma is investigated. It's shown that plasma treatment leads to the removal of defective outer graphene layers and their fragments due to oxidation. It is established that the surface of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes contains numerous uncoordinated carbon atoms and oxygen-containing functional groups. The preservation of the structure of the internal graphene layers of nanotubes and the formation of broken chemical bonds ensures a decrease in electrical resistance. At the same time, there is a narrowing of the distribution of electrical resistance values of nanotube ensembles.

AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNT) are interesting candidates for the reinforcement in robust composites and for conducting fillers in polymers due to their fascinating electronic and mechanical properties. For the first time, we report the incorporation of multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into silica-glass surfaces by means of partial surface-melting caused by a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser. MWNTs were detected being well incorporated in the silica-surface. The composites are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman-spectroscopy. A model for the composite-formation is proposed based on heatabsorption by MWNTs and a partial melting of the silica-surface.
