Carbon nanotube has been successfully grafted on the surface of spherical silica gel via floating-catalyst chemical vapour deposition method. The growth conditions were set to be 3 hours growth time and 5 wt. % of ferrocene catalyst (dissolved in toluene) injected into the furnace at a rate of 0.04 ml/min. It was found that the reaction temperature of 760°C yields the best quality hybrid particles. Decreasing and increasing the reaction temperature resulted in the formation of product that consists of thicker tubes, higher defects as analysed by Raman, as well as least carbon formation.

Carbon nanotube is a new type of nanoscale materials, which has excellent adsorption property and electrical conductivity. In this paper, silk fabrics were antistatic modified by adsorption of carbon nanotube. The results indicate that the optimum modified conditions are summed up as follows: quality ratio of carbon nanotube and silk fabric is 1:5, pH value is 4, reaction temperature is 95°C and reaction time is 1.5 h. The antistatic property of silk fabric which modified by carbon nanotube is obviously improved.

In this work, we study the use of asymmetric carbon nanotube (CNT) dimers for the contactless detection of foreign nano-particles. Asymmetric CNT dimers create a unique field distribution, through the electromagnetic coupling, which in turn generates two distinct resonances representing the bonding and anti-bonding modes. The presence of a foreign nano-particle (NP) in the vicinity of the CNT dimer perturbs the dimer’s field distribution and causes the bonding and anti-bonding resonances to shift by unequal amounts depending on the NP location. By studying the difference in the shift of the bonding and the anti-bonding resonances, we show that the NP relative location can be reconstructed. The computational experiments performed in this work show how asymmetric CNT dimers can be used for novel sensing applications.

This study examines the piezoresistive behavior of polyethylene (PE) composites containing different types of nano-particle fillers. The fillers investigated are single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT), multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP), which were dispersed in PE through melt blending in concentrations ranging between 0.5–10 wt%. The lowest percolation threshold and highest electrical conductivity was found for SWNT composites, followed by MWNT and GNP. The piezoresistance of the nano-particle-PE composites was investigated and a negative piezoresistance behavior was observed signifying a reducing mean inter-particulate distance in the composites. The highest sensitivity was exhibited by MWNT and SWNT composites at compositions closer to the percolation threshold. The time dependence of piezoresistivity was also investigated through stress relaxation and cyclic loading experiments.
