Carbon nanotube (CNT) composites are promising new materials for structural applications thanks to their mechanical and multifunctional properties. We have…
Catastrophic structural failures are the cause of many physical and personal losses every year, with prevention estimated at billions of…
Vertically-aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays are grown on a moving substrate, demonstrating continuous growth of nanoscale materials with long-range order….
The recent development of “low power” (10s-100s of μW) sensing and data transmission devices, as well as protocols with which…
This work focuses on development of non-metallic substances that can catalyze carbon nanotube (CNT) growth while remaining in a non-metallic…
Characterization of thin-film layered materials is critical for many MEMS devices. Residual stresses from production determine both the final shape…
