Functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by various groups (carboxyl or amino) can improve the properties of anti-tumoral drugs (cisplatin, docetaxel, zometa). Functionalization was evidenced by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Platinum ions released in simulated body fluid (SBF) were measured by inductively coupled plasma ion spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are grafted with hyperbranched polysiloxane ( HBPSi ) by an efficient hydrosilylation method. In this hydrosilylation process, hydroxylated MWCNTs (HO-MWCNTs) are first functionalized by triethoxyvinylsilane to introduce carbon–carbon double bonds ( C = C ) on the surface of MWCNTs. The C = C is then reacted with the monomer of methylbis(dimethylvinylsiloxy)silane in the presence of the platinum–carbon catalyst, thus HBPSi is ultimately grafted on the surface of MWCNTs. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are employed to characterize the changes in MWCNTs surface morphology, chemistry and physical conditions at different processing stages. The content of HBPSi on the surface of MWCNTs was also measured by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicate that the HBPSi successfully grafted on the surface of MWCNTs, and the dispersion of MWCNTs in organic solvent is also improved after functionalization.

The oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were modified with stearic acid (SA) molecules. The SA-modified MWCNTs were characterized with scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. The tribological properties of the oxidized and SA-modified MWCNTs as additives in water were comparatively investigated with a four-ball tester. The results showed the SA-modified MWCNTs in water have better tribological properties including friction reduction and antiwear than oxidized MWCNTs. The possible mechanism of SA-modified MWCNT as an additive in water was discussed. This research provides the opportunity for the lubricant application of MWCNTs.

Titanium dioxide (Titania, TiO2) nanoparticles have been deposited on the surface of acid treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by simple chemical route. The resultant TiO2/MWCNTs composites were characterized by different techniques. The oxidation of MWCNTs and presence of titania nanoparticles on the surface of MWCNTs is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. TEM image shows the size of titania nanoparticles are around 5 nm. Raman spectroscopy showed the oxidation and functionalization of nanotubes. The TGA curve showed decrease in thermal decomposition temperature of MWCNTs after oxidation and attachment with titania nanoparticles.

Thin film samples of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were irradiated with 120 MeV gold ions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the pristine and irradiated samples were obtained. TEM pictures show that in the irradiated sample, the CNTs are in general shorter and some have their inner cores filled, unlike in the pristine sample. We also find from these images that average inner and outer tube diameters change as a result of ion irradiation. The films were also characterized using Raman spectrometry. Modifications of the disorder mode (D mode) and the tangential mode (G mode) under different irradiation fluences were studied in detail. As fluence increases, the MWCNTs first show damage, then healing under somewhat higher fluences and again amorphization under still higher fluence of ion irradiation.

AbstractA Focused Ion Beam (FIB) microscope was to locally deposit platinum contacts on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes (MWNTs) for resistance and current carrying capability measurements. We have determined the resistivity of these ultra-thin Pt lines and the MWNT-Pt contact resistance to account for contributions to the MWNT measurements. We have studied the effects of secondary mental deposition around the contacts (‘halo’ effect) on the MENT electrical measurements as well as effects of ion beam exposure and possible ways to avoid/minimize them. Transmission Electron Microscopy data was used to evalutate MWNT surface modifications due to ion beam exposure and Pt deposition.

Walled Carbon Nanotubes

A purification method for multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has been developed to remove almost all (>98%) residual metal catalyst without introducing a significant amount of surface functionality. The process involves alternating mild acid oxidation and thermal oxidation in an iterative fashion with progressively higher temperatures for thermal treatment, in accordance with the increasing thermal stability. Thermogravimetric analysis and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were employed to assess thermal stability and residual catalyst content, respectively, throughout the process. Transmission electron microscopy confirms the integrity of the nanotubes, and the degree of acid functionalization introduced by the acid oxidation is minimal, as determined by titration analysis.Key words: multi-walled carbon nanotube, purification, ICP-MS, TGA, FTIR.
