Soft-lock drawing of super-aligned carbon nanotube bundles for nanometre electrical contacts

Yunfan Guo et al.

Summary: In this study, a non-destructive soft-lock drawing method was developed to assemble high-density horizontal arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The assembled CNT bundles were then used as nanometer electrical contacts in high-density monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) transistors, demonstrating their potential for future electronic devices and advanced integration technologies.

Uncertainty quantification of percolating electrical conductance for wavy carbon nanotube-filled polymer nanocomposites using Bayesian inference

Jaehyeok Doh et al.

Summary: The research focuses on quantifying the uncertainty of electrical percolation behavior in wavy carbon nanotube-filled polymer nanocomposites, validating a developed percolation model with existing experimental data. The study shows a statistically linear relationship between the percolation threshold and a parameter of the phase transition, as well as the impact of intrinsic conductance of CNTs on the magnitude and slope of electrical conductance. The work contributes to a robust and reliable design of polymer nanocomposites considering physical uncertainty to meet target electrical performance.

Comprehensive evaluation of the piezoresistive behavior of carbon nanotube-based composite strain sensors

Zhen-Hua Tang et al.

Summary: In this paper, a comprehensive analytical model is developed to predict the electro-mechanical response of conductive CNT-based composite sensors by considering critical factors such as CNT dimensions, interphase, nanotube waviness, and dispersion state. The key factors were found to play important roles in determining the sensitivity of CNT-based composite strain sensors, and the validity of the developed model was demonstrated through comparisons with existing numerical and experimental data. The developed model provides a deeper understanding of the piezoresistive behavior of CNT-based composite sensors compared to existing models, and a meaningful recommendation is made to optimize the design of highly sensitive CNT-based composite sensors.

Summary: The study developed an effective and comprehensive analytical model to predict the electrical conductivity of CNT/polymer nanocomposites by considering the effects of CNT waviness and dispersion. Results indicated that both CNT waviness and dispersion significantly impact the composite conductivity. The predicted results aligned well with experimental data and showed higher accuracy compared to previous models.
