Abstract:
The chemo-electrical properties of chitosan-carbon nanotubes (Chit-CNT) Conductive bio-Polymer nano-Composites (CPC) transducers processed by spray layer-by-layer (LbL) technique have been investigated. Results show that unlike most synthetic polymer matrices, chitosan provides the transducer with high sensitivity towards not only polar vapours like water and methanol but also to a lesser extent toluene. Quantitative responses are obtained, well fitted with the Langmuir-Henry-Clustering (LHC) model allowing to link electrical signal to vapour content. Chit-CNT transducers selectivity was also correlated with an exponential law to the inverse of Flory-Huggins interaction parameter chi(12). These properties make Chit-CNT a good transducer to be implemented in an e-nose. Additionally, the observation by atomic force microscopy (AFM) of Chit-CNT morphology suggests a chemical nano-switching mechanism promoting tunnelling conduction and originating macroscopic vapour sensing.

Abstract:
Theoretical calculations predict that by coupling an exothermic chemical reaction with a nanotube or nanowire possessing a high axial thermal conductivity, a self-propagating reactive wave can be driven along its length. Herein, such waves are realized using a 7-nm cyclotrimethylene trinitramine annular shell around a multiwalled carbon nanotube and are amplified by more than 10(4) times the bulk value, propagating faster than 2 m s(-1), with an effective thermal conductivity of 1.28 +/- 0.2 kW m(-1) K-1 at 2,860 K. This wave produces a concomitant electrical pulse of disproportionately high specific power, as large as 7 kW kg(-1), which we identify as a thermopower wave. Thermally excited carriers flow in the direction of the propagating reaction with a specific power that scales inversely with system size. The reaction also evolves an anisotropic pressure wave of high total impulse per mass (300 N s kg(-1)). Such waves of high power density may find uses as unique energy s!

FABRICATION

Abstract:
A fabrication method about single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) network and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based composite thin film is reported, which can be used as flow sensor cell. This composite thin film is immersed in deionized water and salt solution with different flow rate tests. The morphology of SWCNTs on the surface of the composite thin film is characterized by scanning electron microscopy, revealing the SWCNTs are coated by PDMS chains. The induced voltage generates along the direction of the flowing liquid and depends significantly on the ionic concentration and flow velocity. Since the SWCNTs are fixed into PDMS matrix, the I-V curves of the composite thin film before and after several flow velocity measurements are exactly coincident, and the repeating flow-induced voltage experiment shows the composite thin film has a reliable electric characteristic and wide potential of device application.
