We report a simple, low cost, reliable technique of making carbon nanotube (CNT) modified atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip. We used the dielectrophoresis and the electrophoresis to align and deposit carbon nanotubes on the end of the AFM tip. From the simulation and the various experiments, we obtained the optimal electric condition, 0.32Vpp/μm. Also, we found that the blunt shape of the tip’s apex is more effective than sharpened one. Through the experiments, we verified that the blunt shape is more effective over 50% than the sharpened one in the attachment of CNTs. By comparing the scanning results between the CNT modified tip and a normal AFM tip, we obtained the improvement in efficiency of 23%.

Availability of a stable carbon nanotube suspension is a prerequisite for production of polymer composites with carbon nanotube as additives. In this work nanotube suspensions, which have been prepared from various nanotubes in different dispersion agents, were compared. Dispersibility of the samples was investigated by scanning electon microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Solution of a non-ionic surfactant was also used successfully as a new dispersion agent. Geometrical parameters of the carbon nanotubes were determined by using atomic force microscopy. Correlation was found between the dispersibility and the parameters of the nanotubes and relative permittivity of the different solvents.
