In this paper, the Seebeck effect of mutilwalled carbon nanotube films has been studied. The carbon nanotubes were synthesized by hot filament chemical vapor deposition using Ni - Fe as a catalyst. It was found that the thermoelectromotive force (thermo emf) changed approximately linearly with the temperature at the hot end at room temperature, and the Seebeck coefficient of carbon nanotube films was about 10~50 μv/k. The experimental results were discussed in detail.

The strain-induced resistance changes of both SWNT and MWNT films have been studied. Carbon nanotubes in this study were synthesized by hot filament chemical vapor deposition. Experimental results showed that there is a striking piezoresistive effect in carbon nanotube films. The relative change in resistance of carbon nanotube films was increased with the increasing strain. In the same strain, the resistance changes of SWNT films exceed that of MWNT films. The origin of the resistance change in the films may be caused by strain-induced change in the bandgap and intertube contact resistance.

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of Ni, Pd, and Pt films and of Ni/Pd and Pd/Pt bimetallic films on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) can be effected at low temperature if the nanotubes are pretreated by CVD of titanium carbide. In the absence of the pretreatment, the CVD leads to formation of isolated nanoparticles of the nickel-group metals. The metallized MWCNTs are curved or kinked, as a result of the interaction with the metal. Preliminary oxidation of the carbon nanotubes allows easier metallization, and the bending of the metallated nanotubes is not observed in this case.Key words: Chemical vapor deposition, platinum, palladium, nickel, carbon, nanotube.
