Nanotube Chirality

Carbon nanotube thin films are considered by many researchers as a material for the future in many electrical and thermal applications, but a lack of systematic physics-based modeling approaches to quantify the bulk thermal and electrical response due to nanostructure variations makes employing these thin films difficult for commercial applications. In this work we employ the previously presented 3D physics-based computational model for characterizing the bulk thermal and electrical response of a neat carbon nanotube thin film network involving stochastic distributions of length, diameter, chirality, orientation and values of intercontact resistivity obtained from the literature. The model is employed to test the sensitivity of bulk thermal and electrical conductivity on stochastic variations in the nanostructure parameters. We examine the sensitivity of the thin film networks to the experimentally obtained Weibull probability distribution for length and diameter. Additionally, we present a study to quantify the macroscopic conductivity dependence on the nanotube chirality ratio. Through these studies we present an approach that is very generic and can be used for the sensitivity analysis due to variations within the nanostructure.

Conductive Property

This paper presents a systematic study of the nano-sized structure and temperature dependent electrical properties. A method of synthesizing the self-assembled multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanopaper on hydrophilic polycarbonate membrane was explored. The process is based on the very well-defined dispersion of nanotube and controlled pressure vacuum deposition procedure. The experiment results show that the ratio changes of MWCNT in the nanopaper could lead to the changes in the electrical conductivity efficiency of the nanopaper. Furthermore, the electrical resistivity of MWCNT nanopaper decreased as temperature increase.
