Single Walled Carbon Nanotube

We have developed a theoretical method to obtain a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with a high density of topological defects. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) sustain elastic elongation up to 15-30% at low temperature because of the sufficiently high barrier of bond rotations. A large number of topological defects are activated simultaneously and widely distributed over the entire tube wall after heating the stretched tube to an elevated temperature. This is driven by the internal energy of the strained carbon nanotubes. The manner in which topological defects are distributed is affected by the initial strain and the heating temperature. Nanotubes with a large number of topological defects achieve the elongation without breaking.

Non Equilibrium Green’S Function

Using density-functional theory (DFT) combined with non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF), we have investigated the transport properties of carbon nanotubes with S–S, M–S, and M–M heterojunctions. The results show that the local states associated with topological defects arise at the junctions. The position and width of local states strongly depend on the configurations of the topological defects and their arrangement. The (7, 0)–(8, 0) and (8, 0)–(9, 0) heterojunctions present semiconducting characteristics. The (6, 0)–(9, 0) heterojunction maintains metallic properties. However, the 5/6/6/7 defects in the nanostructure decrease the electronic transport. More importantly, our results indicate that the I–V characteristics of the heterojunctions could be effectively controlled by gate voltage.

AbstractSingle-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) were functionalized with 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid via “direct” Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction in PPA/P2O5 to afford ortho-diamino-functionalized SWCNT (DIF-SWCNT) and MWCNT (DIF-MWCNT). The resultant DIF-SWCNT and DIF-MWCNT showed improved solubility and dispersibility. To improve interfacial adhesion between CNT and polymer matrix, the grafting of ABPBI onto the surface of DIF-SWCNT (10 wt%) or DIF-MWCNT (10 wt%) was conducted by simple in-situ polymerization of AB monomer, 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid dihydrochloride, in PPA. The resultant ABPBI-g-MWCNT and ABPBI-g-SWCNT showed improved the mechanical and electrical properties.

The Impact

The mutual result of the magnetic field and Marangoni convection against the thin liquid film of Casson fluid, blood-based carbon nanotube nanofluid has been fruitfully discussed in this article. The influence of various model constraints is focused on velocity, heat transfer, pressure distribution, skin friction and Nusselt number through graphical illustration. In addition, we witness that the thermal field of liquid raises with the growing value of [Formula: see text] and this upsurge is more in single-walled carbon nanotubes and is more dominant than multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The controlling approach of the homotopy analysis method has been used for velocity and temperature distribution. For authentication, the achieved results have been associated with the numerical (ND-Solve) method and displayed. This investigation shows that the velocity profile in the case of Casson fluid single-walled carbon nanotube–blood nanofluid is comparatively less affected and the temperature field of single-walled carbon nanotube–blood nanofluid dominates multi-walled carbon nanotube–blood nanofluid.
