Stimuli-responsive nanostructured surfaces

Ana Maria Popa

The coupling of stimuli-responsive macromolecules to nanostructured surfaces opens the perspective for the fabrication and integration of "smart" micro- and nano-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS&NEMS) in which the smallest motile unit is the polymeric chai ...

Mechanical and electronic properties of vanadium oxide nanotubes

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Andras Kis, Balazs Sipos, Jin Won Seo, Martial Duchamp, Neven Barisic

Vanadium oxide nanotubes with a diameter of 20-100 nm and an aspect ratio of 50-100 were synthesized by hydrothermal method. Young's modulus of 20-80 GPa was obtained by bending measurements of individual nanotubes using an atomic force microscope. Electri ...

Surface-bound nanostructures

Kyumin Lee

This thesis looks at surface-bound nanowires and nanoparticles, the mechanical and the metrological properties of which are of practical importance in the realization of nanometer-scale electronics. Atomic force microscope (AFM) was the main instrument of ...

Nanomechanics of carbon nanotubes

Andras Kis

Some of the most important potential applications of carbon nanotubes are related to their mechanical properties. Stiff sp(2) bonds result in a Young's modulus close to that of diamond, while the relatively weak van der Waals interaction between the graphi ...

Trapping Individual Carbon Nanotubes

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Anupama Arun

A technique to deterministically manipulate individual Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) has been the brick-wall for the boom of CNT based devices. Here we demonstrate dielectrophoresis as an efficient technique to trap individual Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCN ...

A multiscale experiment on the tribological behavior of aligned carbon nanotube/ceramic composites

William Curtin

The tribological behavior of well-aligned carbon nanotube (CNT)/alumina nanocomposites was studied at multiple length scales. Pin-on-disk, microscratch and atomic force microscopy were used to test three nanomaterials: alumina matrix, thin-walled and thick ...

Atomic force microscopy studies of nanotribology and nanomechanics

Ismaël Palaci

This thesis comes within the scope of tribology studies at the nanometer scale. The experimental techniques used in this work are essentially related to atomic force microscopy, which gives a direct access to the topography and forces of the studied system ...

Catalytically grown carbon nanotubes: from synthesis to toxicity

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Jin Won Seo, Kyumin Lee, Mirko Milas

Catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD) is currently the most promising technique to produce carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a specific site as well as on a large-scale. Here, we review our recent experimental studies on CNTs grown by CCVD. The yield as wel ...

Synthesis of carbon nanotubes and characterization of nanotubes as atomic force microscopy tips

Yanki Keles

This thesis describes the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and the evaluation of them as tips of atomic force microscope (AFM) probes. Both arc-discharge and CVD grown nanotubes were investigated as AFM tips. Two meth ...

Manipulation of individual carbon nanotubes

Mirko Milas

Carbon nanotubes the long, cylindrical carbon molecules are the most exciting material discovered lately. They offer the possibility for a large number of applications. My task was to explore the way how we can use multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) in s ...
