Abstract Due to physical, material, technological, power-thermal and economical difficulties, scaling of CMOS transistors will stop very soon. Due to efficiency of power and speed compared to CMOS transistors, Carbon Nano-tube transistors are best suitable element to design logic circuits. So, CNTFETS have been utilized in designing of proposed full adder (FA) and 4-bit ripple carry adder (RCA) in this paper. Proposed FA and RCA have been compared to rival designs on bases of power, speed and power-delay-product (PDP). FA and RCA circuits have been analysed with the variation of temperature from 0°C to 100°C while the variation of supply voltages is from 0.7V to 1.3V. For all temperatures and all supply voltages, proposed FA and proposed RCA have the least power consumption, shortest delay and lowest PDP. SPICE has been utilized for simulating FAs and RCAs in 32 nm process node. Even though the fabrication is complicated than CMOS counterparts but simulation results confirm usefulness of proposed FA and RCA for high speed and power efficient arithmetic applications.

Dewasa ini teknologi additive manufacturing (AM) mengalami perkembangan yang pesat. Salah satu metode additive manufacturing yang saat ini populer di berbagai belahan dunia adalah metode fused deposition modelling. Prinsip kerja metode ini adalah dengan cara mengekstrusi material filamen polimer yang meleleh dan sudah melewati temperatur rekristalisasinya melalui sebuah nozzle, kemudian produk akan terbentuk secara lapis demi lapis yang dibentuk melalui gerakan relatif dari meja mesin. Dalam pengaplikasiannya, material filamen dapat dibuat dalam bentuk komposit sehingga diperoleh sifat-sifat unik tertentu sehingga dapat digunakan pada bidang-bidang tertentu. Salah satunya adalah pada bidang kesehatan, sebagai pembuatan implan atau jaringan tubuh dengan memiliki kekuatan yang tinggi dan bersifat biodegradable. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan pembuatan filamen komposit PLA-CNT dengan metode ekstrusi. Proses ekstrusi dilakukan dengan variasi temperatur 143, 145, dan 147ºC dengan memberi tambahan polyethylene glycol (PEG) sebagai plasticizer untuk meningkatkan fleksibilitas dan workability. Hasil pengamatan dengan scanning electron microscope (SEM) mengindikasikan bahwa proses ekstrusi berjalan kurang stabil karena terdapat tekstur permukaan yang bergelombang. Dari pengujian karakterisasi differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), derajat kristalinitas pada variasi ekstrusi filamen PLA-CNT mengalami peningkatan seiring meningkatnya temperatur ekstrusi. Pada pengujian karakterisasi fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) terdapat perubahan komposisi kimia pada filamen yang signifikan, yang juga sejalan dengan degradasi sifat mekanis. Variasi filamen dengan temperatur ekstrusi 147ºC memiliki nilai kekerasan paling tinggi yaitu sebesar 40,50 MPa.

Soft robotics and wearable devices are promising technologies due to their flexibility. As human-soft robot interaction technologies advance, the interest in stretchable sensor devices has increased. Currently, the main challenge in developing stretchable sensors is preparing high-quality sensors via a simple and cost-effective method. This study introduces the do-it-yourself (DIY)-approach to fabricate a carbon nanotube (CNT) powder-based stretchable sensor. The fabrication strategy utilizes an automatic brushing machine to pattern CNT powder on the elastomer. The elastomer ingredients are optimized to increase the elastomer compatibility with the brushing method. We found that polydimethylsiloxane-polyethyleneimine (PDMS-PEIE) is 50% more stretchable and 63% stickier than previously reported PDMS 30-1. With these improved elastomer characteristics, PDMS-PEIE/multiwalled CNT (PDMS-PEIE/MWCNT-1) strain sensor can realize a gauge factor of 6.2–8.2 and a responsivity up to 25 ms. To enhance the compatibility of the powder-based stretchable sensor for a wearable device, the sensor is laminated using a thin Ecoflex membrane. Additionally, system integration of the stretchable sensors are demonstrated by embedding it into a cotton-glove and a microcontroller to control a virtual hand. This cost-effective DIY-approach are expected to greatly contribute to the development of wearable devices since the technology is simple, economical, and reliable.

Abstract Biodiesel is an alternative energy obtained through the trasesterification of vegetable oil in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst plays a very important role in the success of the transesterification process. One way to increase the activity of the catalyst is through chemical modification called functionalization, which generally using SO3 group as a sulfonating agent is known as the sulfonation process. However, the disadvantage of this process is that it uses strong acids which are corrosive, require high temperatures and are not environmentally friendly. This study aims to increase the activity of zinc oxide catalyst supported by multi-wall carbon nano tube (Z/MWCNTs) sulfonated using (NH4)2SO4 as sulfonating agent. The synthesis route includes co-precipitation, sulfonation and precipitation time. The effect of concentration of ammonium sulfate, co-precipitation time, and sulfonating time on yield of biodiesels of kesambi (Schleichera oleosa L) oil (OSOBD) was investigated. The result showed that the activity functionalized Z/MWCNTS catalyst (Z/s-MWCCNTs) could enhance significantly. The results of the catalyst activity test on transesterification of OSO into biodiesel showed that Z/s-MWCNTs gave a high yield of 91% for the functionalized catalyst using ammonium sulfate with a concentration of 35%, co-precipitation time 12 hours and sulfonation time 4 hours. The functionalization of MWCNTS with the sulfonation process using ammonium sulfate has the potential to increase catalyst activity and can increase the efficiency of the transesterification process for non-edible oils, especially kesambi oil.

Abstract With the quick progress in the area of digital electronics results in miniaturization of semiconductor Industries. In Deep Sub Micron regime, because of leakage current, power consumption is turn out to be a major issue; hence constant efforts are being made by the researchers for investigating the various ways to minimize this. There are various methods available for the same and out of several available methods use of Carbon Nano-tube technology is a promising way to design low power circuits efficiently. Here new techniques are introduced for the reduction of leakage power. Here in this work, comparison of the main performance parameters of Copper on chip nano-interconnect with CNTFET has been done. We have measured the impact of ION and IOFF current by applying Process variation in CU and CNT- Interconnects with the variation of Tubes at 32nm technology and analysed the performance of the digital circuits with scaling of technology. The different kind of simulation outcomes indicates that by applying 10% of deviation from normal value in different device characteristics parameters such as Length of Gate (LTube) of the Tube, Width (WTube) of the Tube, Threshold Voltage (Vth) of the Tube, Thickness (tot) of Tube and Source & Drain Doping concentration with Cu and CNTFET interconnects for NFET and PFET with the variation of tubes from 1 to 16. All the experimental outcomes are achieved by using HSPICE simulator using SPICE model of CU and CNT at27oC temperature by using 32nm Berkley Predictive Technology module.

Abstract: In Recent days, the natural fibres from renewable natural resources offer the potential to act as a reinforcing material for polymer composites alternative to the use of glass, carbon and other man-made fibres. Among various fibres, Hemp is most widely used natural fibre due to its advantages like easy availability, low density, low production cost and satisfactory mechanical properties. Composite materials play a vital role in the field of materials to meet the stringent demands of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and near-net shapes. Composite is a structural material that consists of two or more combined constituents that are combined at a macroscopic level and are not soluble in each other. Composites are having two phases that are reinforcing phase like fiber, particle, or flakes & matrix phase like polymers, metals, and ceramics. In this project an attempt is made to prepare different combination of composite materials using hemp/carbon fiber and Carbon nano tube reinforcement and vinyl ester as the matrix material respectively. Composites were prepared according to ASTM standards and following test are carried out Tensile, Flexural and ILSS test. The effect of addition of Carbon nano tubes in hemp/vinyl ester/carbon fibers has been studied & it has been observed that there is a significant effect of fibre loading and performance of hemp/carbon fiber reinforced vinyl ester based hybrid composites with improved results Keywords: Hemp fiber, Vinyl ester, Carbon fiber, Tensile, Flexural and ILSS Test
