Induction heating process of ferromagnetic filled carbon nanotubes based on 3-D model

Abstract

Abstract:Since their discovery by Iijima in 1991 [1], carbon nanotubes have sparked unwavering interest among researchers all over the world. This is due to the unique properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Carbon nanotubes have excellent mechanical and electrical properties with high chemical and thermal stability. In addition, carbon nanotubes have a very large surface area and are hollow inside. This gives a very broad spectrum of nanotube applications, such as in combination with polymers as polymer composites in the automotive, aerospace or textile industries. At present, many methods of nanotube synthesis are known [2][3][4][5][6]. It is also possible to use carbon nanotubes in biomedical applications [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], including the destruction of cancer cells using iron-filled carbon nanotubes in the hyperthermia process. Computer modelling results of FeCNTs induction heating process are presented in the paper. As an object used for computer model creation, Fe-CNTs were synthesized by the authors using CCVD technique.

Optimization of Mass Flow in the Synthesis of Ferromagnetic Carbon Nanotubes in Chemical Vapor Deposition System

“…Future work will be focused on the maximum filling of MWCNTs. Ferromagnetic nanotubes from this system were used as nano heaters in the electromagnetic field and after chemical functionalization to the thermal ablation of cancer cells [ 48 , 49 ].…”

Recent Progress of Amorphous Nanomaterials

“…In 1991, Iijima reported the discovery of carbon nanotubes, which sparked extensive scientific and technical interest in 1D nanoscale structures. 1D nanomaterials are defined as two-dimensional lengths ranging from a few hundred nanometers to a few millimeters .…”
