Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were grown as tip growths on carbon black (CB; XC-72R) (CNF-CB) by using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) with Ni catalysts. The as-grown CNF-CB composites were annealed at different temperatures. The crystallinity and thermal properties of the CNF-CB composite increased with an increase in the annealing temperature. The micropore and mesopore areas of the CNF-CB composites decreased and increased, respectively, as compared to those of CB only. The CNF-CB composite annealed at 1600 °C had a higher current density than only CB did, as determined by using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The CNF-CB composites should be extremely useful in various energy applications, such as fuel cells, capacitors, and batteries.

Carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers and nanodiamonds have been fascinated considerable attention as promising materials for drug sensing. These materials have tremendous amount of attraction due to some extraordinary features such as excellent electrical and thermal conductivities as well as high mechanical strength. Hence, these nanomaterials have been used extensively in sensor technology in order to achieved desired sensitivities. To date, carbon based nanomaterials have been exploit in the development of various drug sensing due to their simple preparation methods, and cost effectiveness. The aim of this review is to focus upon carbon based nanomaterials predominantly on drugs sensing applications. This review has been written in summary form including properties, fabrication method, and analytical performances.Abbreviation:Au, Gold; CNFs, Carbon Nanofibers; CNTs, Carbon Nanotubes; CVD, Chemical Vapour Deposition; D-, Dextrorotatory enantiomer; D, Dimensional; DNase, deoxyribonuclease; ESD, Electrospinning deposition; GCE, Glassy Carbon Electrode; Gr, Graphene; GrO, Graphene Oxide; ILs, ionic liquids; L-, Levorotatory enantiomer; LOD, Limit of Detection; MTase, Methyltransferases; MW, Microwave; MWCNTs, Multi-walled Carbon nanotubes; NDs, Nanodiamonds; NPs, Nanoparticles; PECVD, Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition; RGO, Reduced Graphene Oxide; SPE, Screen-Printed Electrode; SPR, Surface Plasmon resonance; ssDNA, single-stranded DNA; SWCNTs, Single-walled Carbon nanotubes.

ABSTRACTPolycrystalline silicon-germanium alloys (poly-SiGe) are deposited by chemical vapour deposition at atmospheric and reduced pressure. The stress, as well as its profile along the growth direction, are measured. Depending on the deposition pressure the stress can be compressive or tensile, the profile of the stress is in both cases rather uniform. The behaviour of the stress as a function of annealing temperature is also investigated. Films which are compressive as grown can be made tensile by annealing, films which are tensile as grown remains tensile even after high temperature annealing.
