Due to their superior mechanical and electrical properties, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have the potential to be used in many nano-/micro-electronic applications, e.g., through silicon vias (TSVs), interconnects, transistors, etc. In particular, use of MWCNT bundles inside annular cylinders of copper (Cu) as TSV is proposed in this study. However, the significant difference in scale makes it difficult to evaluate the interfacial mechanical integrity. Cohesive zone models (CZM) are typically used at large scale to determine the mechanical adherence at the interface. However, at molecular level, no routine technique is available. Molecular dynamic (MD) simulations is used to determine the stresses that are required to separate MWCNTs from a copper slab and generate normal stress–displacement curves for CZM. Only van der Waals (vdW) interaction is considered for MWCNT/Cu interface. A displacement controlled loading was applied in a direction perpendicular to MWCNT's axis in different cases with different number of walls and at different temperatures and CZM is obtained for each case. Furthermore, their effect on the CZM key parameters (normal cohesive strength (σmax) and the corresponding displacement (δn) has been studied. By increasing the number of the walls of the MWCNT, σmax was found to nonlinearly decrease. Displacement at maximum stress, δn, showed a nonlinear decrease as well with increasing the number of walls. Temperature effect on the stress–displacement curves was studied. When temperature was increased beyond 1 K, no relationship was found between the maximum normal stress and temperature. Likewise, the displacement at maximum load did not show any dependency to temperature.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes filled with MgO nanorods were synthesized through the reaction of ethanol and Mg powder in the presence ofTiO2at 400C°. X-ray powder diffraction indicated that the sample was composed of graphite and cubic MgO. Transmission electron microscopy studies showed that multi-walled CNTs with the outer diameters of 70–130 nm were filled with discontinuous MgO nanorods whose diameter was in the range of 25–40 nm. The ratios of the band intensities(ID/IG=0.67)in Raman spectrum implied that carbon nanotubes had good crystallinity. The influence of correlative reaction factors on the morphology of the sample and the possible formation mechanism were discussed.

A disposable, magnetism-controlled, and amperometric immunosensor was fabricated for the determination of C reactive protein (CRP). Firstly, Fe3O4 (core)/Au (shell) nanoparticle (GMP)–coated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT–GMP) were prepared. Then, monoclonal antibody (anti-CRP) was immobilized on MWCNT–GMP to prepare MWCNT–GMP/anti-CRP composite magnetic probes. At last, the probes was adsorbed on the surface of N,N''-bis-(2-hydroxy-methylene)-o-phenylenediamine cobalt (CoRb) modified, screen-printed carbon electrodes through external magnetic field.The amount of CRP in the serum sample was determined by one-step immunoassay. When different concentrations of CRP were added into25μL of phosphate-buffered solution (pH7.0) containing10-4M H2O2, the percentage of DPV cathodic peak current decrease (CR%) exhibited a linear relationship with the concentration of CRP in the range of 0.3–100 μg L-1.The detection limit was 0.16 μg L-1(3б).The immunosensor was used to determine CRP in serum samples of patients with heart diseases, and the results were consistent with those of the traditional ELISA method. The proposed amperometric immunosensor was sensitive, rapid, magnetic field–controlled, and disposable; therefore, it could be used to determine even traces of CRP in the blood serums of patients with heart diseases.
