Carbon nanotubes have received considerable attention because of their excellent mechanical properties. In this study, carbon nanotube - copper composites have been sintered by a mechanical mixing process. The interfacial bonding between nanotubes and the copper matrix was improved by coating nanotubes with nickel. Sintered pure copper samples were used as control materials. The displacement rate of nanotube-copper composites was found to increase at 200°C whereas that of nickel-coated nanotue-copper composites significantly decreased. The incorporation of carbon nanotubes and nickel-coated carbon nanotubes in the copper matrix decreased friction coefficients and increased the time up to the onset of scuffing compared with those of pure copper specimens.

Demand of special combination of different properties of the materials instigated the development of metal matrix composite. The carbon nanotubes being renowned for their excellent physical and mechanical properties are one of the major choices as strengthen material for metal matrix composites. To benefit their properties, the carbon nanotubes should be thoroughly dispersed and have wetting with the matrix. In the present study, a precursor of aluminum-carbon nanotubes was prepared by coating the nanotubes with titanium and used to fabricate the composite by induction melting. The precursor provided easy wetting, while induction melting facilitated dispersion of the nanotubes readily. Consequently, the composite exhibited noticeable augmentations in yield and tensile strength from 64 to 193 MPa and 81 to 227 MPa, respectively.

AbstractIn heat transportation applications, water is most commonly used fluid. The efficiency of equipment used in these applications depends on thermal characteristics of water used. The thermal characteristics of water could be upgraded by suspending high thermal conducting solid nanoparticles. In this paper an attempt has been made to know how the use of surfactants and functionalization of carbon nanotube walls can affect the thermal characteristics and stability of nanofluid. A thorough analysis of collected literature revealed that carbon nanotubes have much higher thermal conductivity than any other nanoparticles and hence improve the thermal properties of water when suspended in them. Further it is concluded that suspension of carbon nanotubes in water requires use of surfactant or functionalization of carbon nanotube walls with proper group. By setting optimum pH and better dispersion, better thermal conductivity is possible. Experimental studies in the literature survey reveal that chemical stabilization techniques and physical stabilization techniques together decide the stability of the nanofluid.

AbstractA carbon nanotube triode using Helicon Plasma-enhanced CVD with electroplated NiCo catalyst has been successfully fabricated. Isolated NiCo based metal catalyst was deposited at the bottom of the cathode wells by electroplating methods to control the density of carbon nanotubes and also reduce the activation energy of its growth. Helicon Plasma-enhanced CVD (HPECVD) has been used to deposit nanotubes at 400°C. Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes were then grown selectively on the electroplated Ni catalyst. Field emission measurements were performed with a triode structure. At a cathode to anode gap of 1.1mm, the turn on voltage for the gate was 170V.
