  1. 1. Embedding Carbon Nanotubes Sensors into Carbon Fiber Laminates

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Riccardo Andolfi; [2022]
    Keywords : Multifunctional Materials; Sensing Abilities; Carbon Nanotubes; Carbon Fibers; Analytical Modelling; Finite Element Modelling; Multifunktionella Material; Avkänningsförmåga; Kolnanorör; Kolfibrer; Analytisk Modellering; Finita Elementmodellering;

    Abstract : The use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite materials in structural applications has increased in the past decades in high­performance sectors, such as in the automotive and aeronautic industries, for weight reduction purposes. However, FRP composite materials can offer more significant innovation potential. READ MORE

  3. 2. Synthesis of Graphene - Carbon Nanotube Hybrid Structures

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Aniruddha Paul; [2021]
    Keywords : Graphene; Carbon nanotubes; Graphene-CNT hybrid structures; Chemical Vapor Deposition CVD ; Grafen; Kolnanorör; Grafen-CNT-hybridstrukturer; Kemisk ångdeposition CVD ;

    Abstract : Graphene and Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been researched for more than a decade due to their extraordinary properties and advantages towards applications like electronics, structural re-enforcements, thermal management and energy storage. Graphene-CNT hybrid structures have been predicted to further enhance the exceptional properties and overcome some of the shortcomings of the individual materials. READ MORE

  4. 3. Multiscale Analysis of Multifunctional Composites

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Ammara Dil; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Conventional polymer composites are highly demanding due to their high strength and stiffness, low weight, easy processing and corrosion resistance. However, their weak out of plane properties restricts their use in high performance applications, such as aerospace, military and automotive components. READ MORE

  5. 4. Thermoset biopolymer reinforced with carbon-nanotubes

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Morteza Esmaeili; [2019]
    Keywords : biopolymers; bio-composites; glycerol lactic acid; carbon nanotube; reinforcement; thermoset; dispersion;

    Abstract : Compared to conventional fibers, carbon nanotubes possess several significant properties, which make them as an excellent alternative reinforcement in multi-functional material industry. In this study, the possibility of dispersion of the multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) in a thermoset bio-based resin (synthesized based on end-functionalized glycerol-lactic acid oligomers, GLA, at university of Borås) was investigated.

  6. 5. Field-effect transistor based biosensing of glucose using carbon nanotubes and monolayer MoS2

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekyl- och kondenserade materiens fysik

    Author : Nathan Ullberg; [2019]
    Keywords : field-effect transistor; biosensor; glucose; carbon nanotube; MoS2; 1D materials; 2D materials; nanotechnology; FET;

    Abstract : As part of the EU SmartVista project to develop a multi-modal wearable sensor for health diagnostics, field-effect transistor (FET) based biosensors were explored, with glucose as the analyte, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or monolayer MoS2 as the semiconducting sensing layer.  Numerous arrays of CNT-FETs and MoS2-FETs were fabricated by photolithographic methods and packaged as integrated circuits.
