Carbon nanotube actuators

open access: yesScience, 1999
Electromechanical actuators based on sheets of single-walled carbon nanotubes were shown to generate higher stresses than natural muscle and higher strains than high-modulus ferroelectrics. Like natural muscles, the macroscopic actuators are assemblies of billions of individual nanoscale actuators.

Aligned, high-density semiconducting carbon nanotube arrays for high-performance electronics

Science, 2020
Aligning dense carbon nanotube arrays Although semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising candidates to replace silicon in transistors at extremely small dimensions, their purity, density, and alignment must be improved. Liu et al.

Carbon nanotube motors driven by carbon nanotube

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2008
We propose a new type of carbon nanotube (CNT) motor composed of a single-wall CNT (SWCNT) and a double-wall CNT (DWCNT), that are in mechanical contact. The rotational motion of our CNT motor is controllable by the translational motion of the SWCNT along the axis of the DWCNT.

Dispersible Carbon Nanotubes

Chemistry – A European Journal, 2013
AbstractA method is proposed to produce nanoparticles dispersible and recyclable in any class of solvents, and the concept is illustrated with the carbon nanotubes. Classically, dispersions of CNTs can be achieved through steric stabilization induced by adsorbed or grafted polymer chains.

Superplastic carbon nanotubes

Nature, 2006
The theoretical maximum tensile strain--that is, elongation--of a single-walled carbon nanotube is almost 20%, but in practice only 6% is achieved. Here we show that, at high temperatures, individual single-walled carbon nanotubes can undergo superplastic deformation, becoming nearly 280% longer and 15 times narrower before breaking.

Carbon Nanotubes

2017
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are remarkable objects that once looked set to revolutionize the technological landscape in the near future. Since the 1990s and for twenty years thereafter, it was repeatedly claimed that tomorrow’s society would be shaped by nanotube applications, just as silicon-based technologies dominate society today.

Biophilic carbon nanotubes

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2013
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been proposed and are actively being explored as innovative multipurpose carriers for biomolecules and diagnostic applications. Their versatile physico-chemical features enable them as a carrier of several pharmaceutically relevant entities and allow them for rational design of novel nanoscale candidates for drug ...
