The yield strength of iron-carbon nanotube composites fabricated by in situ chemical vapor deposition of 2.2 vol% single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) inside an iron matrix showed substantial enhancement up to 45%, relative to that of similarly treated pure iron samples without carbon nanotubes of the same piece density. The work hardening coefficient and the Vickers hardness coefficient also significantly increased in these composites relative to the reference samples. X-ray diffraction together with energy dispersive x-ray measurements and micro-Raman spectroscopy indicated no concomitant formation of carbides and very little amorphous carbon during the vapor deposition process. Micro-Raman spectroscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy showed spectral signatures and images, respectively, indicating the formation and dispersion of SWNTs within the cavities of the iron matrix. It is suggested that the increased strength of the nanocomposites was due to the mechanical support provided to these cavities by the extremely strong SWNTs.

ABSTRACTCarbon nanotubes-based actuator has been investigated using in situ Raman spectroscopy in order to understand the actuation mechanism and to determine associated parameters. We built an actuator from a sheet of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT mat) and studied in several alkali metal (Li, Na, and K) and alkaline earth (Ca) halide solutions. Since Raman can detect changes in C-C bond length: the radial breathing mode (RBM) at ∼190 cm-1 varies inversely with the nanotube diameter and the G band at ∼1590 cm-1 varies with the axial bond length, the variation of bonding was monitored with potential. In addition, the intensities of both the modes vary with either emptying/depleting or filling of the bonding and antibonding states due to electrochemical charge injection. We discuss the variation of intensity/frequency providing valuable information on the dynamics of charge transfer on the SWNT mat surface. We found the in-plane microscopic strain (∼ -0.25%) and the charge transfer per carbon atom (fc ∼ -0.005) as an upper bound for the electrolytes used. It is demonstrated that though the present analyses does comply with the proposition made earlier, but the quantitative estimates of the associated parameters are significantly lower if compared with those of reported values for carbon nanotubes. Moreover, the extent of variation (i.e. coupled electro-chemo-mechanical response) does depend upon the type of counter-ion used. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) is also described briefly.
