Malaysian Palm Oil For Carbon Nanotubes Preparation

Carbon nanotubes The discovery of ‘fullerenes’ added a new dimension to the knowledge of carbon science1; and the discovery of ‘carbon nanotubes’ (CNTs, elongated fullerene) added a new dimension to knowledge of technology2. Today, ‘nanotechnology’ is a hot topic attracting scientist, industrialists, journalist, governments, and even the general public. Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter on the nanometer scale and the exploitation of novel phenomena and properties of matter (physical, chemical, biological, electrical, etc.) at that length scale. CNTs are supposed to be the key component of nanotechnology. Almost every week a new potential application of CNTs is identified, stimulating scientists to peep into this tiny tube with ever increasing curiosity.

Physical Chemical

Binary nano-biocomposite 3D scaffolds of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)—gelatine were fabricated without using chemical crosslinking additives. Controlled oxidative treatment allowed introducing carboxyl or carbonyl functionalities on the surface of CNCs responsible for the crosslinking of gelatine polymers. The obtained composites were characterized for their physical-chemical properties. Their biocompatibility towards different cell cultures was evaluated through MTT and LDH assays, cellular adhesion and proliferation experiments. Gelatine composites reinforced with carbonyl-modified CNCs showed the most performing swelling/degradation profile and the most promising adhesion and proliferation properties towards cell lines, suggesting their potential application in the field of tissue engineering.

Dynamic Simulations

In the current study, the torsional vibration of carbon nanotubes is examined using the strain gradient theory and molecular dynamic simulations. The model developed based on this gradient theory enables us to interpret size effect through introducing material length scale parameters. The model accommodates the modified couple stress and classical models when two or all material length scale parameters are set to zero, respectively. Using Hamilton's principle, the governing equation and higher-order boundary conditions of carbon nanotubes are obtained. The generalized differential quadrature method is utilized to discretize the governing differential equation of the present model along with two boundary conditions. Then, molecular dynamic simulations are performed for a series of carbon nanotubes with different aspect ratios and boundary conditions, the results of which are matched with those of the present strain gradient model to extract the appropriate value of the length scale parameter. It is found that the present model with properly calibrated value of length scale parameter has a good capability to predict the torsional vibration behavior of carbon nanotubes.

Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been implemented in the creation of many micro- and nano-devices due to their physical properties such as large volume-to-surface area as well as their high thermal and electrical conductivity. The paper describes a novel dielectrophoretic step-wise deposition of CNTs (that alternates deposition of CNTs and drying steps) between the interdigitated fingers of carbon electrodes. Multiphysics simulation illustrates the physics of CNT alignment along the electrical field lines that forms a basis for dielectrophoretic deposition of CNTs. This fabrication methodology resulted in the creation of a proof-of-concept nitrogen gas sensor.
