Direct growth of carbon nanotubes on carbon fibers: Effect of the CVD parameters on the degradation of mechanical properties of carbon fibers

Co-production of hydrogen and carbon nanotubes from real-world waste plastics: Influence of catalyst composition and operational parameters

“…11(d) where some disordered and uneven graphitic layers of carbons at 900°C were formed. Carbon nanofibers have been reported to give a broad Raman spectra compared to nanotubes [58], thus the weaker Raman peak of the carbon produced at the catalyst temperature of 900°C in Fig. 13 further suggests the presence of carbon nanofibers.…”

Growth of carbon nanotubes on carbon fibers using the combustion flame oxy-acetylene method

“…However, deposition times are very long, 1-120 min, and high temperatures, 650 -900 °C, are applied. For CFs substrates, long times at high temperatures and the reactive conditions used during carbon nanotube growth can introduce defects that could significantly degrade mechanical properties [17][18]. A major challenge facing the CNTs growth method on CFs is to obtain the required CNTs density, coverage and length at low temperatures and with very short deposition times.…”

Multifunctional, biocompatible and pH-responsive carbon nanotube- and graphene oxide/tectomer hybrid composites and coatings

“…The simple procedure for CNT functionalization of GO fibers described here can be considered as an alternative approach to other strategies for CNT functionalization/coating of substrates (including chemical vapour deposition techniques, [91][92][93][94] substrate transfer/printing, 95 the use of magnetic fields, 96 electrophoresis, 97,98 and other substrate chemical functionalization routes 99 ), and may not be restricted to GO-based surfaces. These CNT/tectomer coatings are promising in nanoelectronics, sensor applications, catalysis, biocompatible CNT inks, cell culture and smart textile applications.…”
