The effect of electron-phonon interaction on differential conductance correction of armchair single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with finite length, lying between two electrodes are studied by using energy dissipation method. It is found that the conductance correction is dependent on the tube length and diameter. This results is studied for two branch of optical phonons; radial breathing mode and tangential mode.

The objective of this research was to study the adsorption of chrysene and benzo[a]pyrene on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and their equilibrium adsorption isotherms. Adsorption of chrysene and benzo[a] pyrene on MWCNT surface has been examined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. According to calculation different parameters of these models such as KT, KF and comparison value of qm showed that amount of chrysene adsorbed is small compared with the adsorbed amount of benzo[a] pyrene. This difference associated with the molecular size and geometry difference between the molecules. Because, benzo[a]pyrene is a five-ring molecule with a large -electron system which makes it more suitable for adsorption by - interactions with carbon nanotubes than chrysene. Also chrysene and benzo[a]pyrene adsorption on MWCNT with more solidarity Freundlich isotherm follow. Keywords: Multi-walled carbon nanotubes; Adsorption isotherm; Carcinogenic compounds CAR 025

In this work we studied the functionalization of commercially available multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with polypropylene. In the first step a new grafting method was used to graft maleic anhydride directly onto solid-state polypropylene powders. The grafting reaction is carried out on the surface of polypropylene particles by adding some surface activating agents and peroxides. Maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene (PP-MAH) then reacted with ethanolamine to produce a hydroxyl group containing polypropylene (PPOH). The reaction was performed in o-Xylene solution at 120C. On the other hand multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were modified with nitric acid chemically which includes refluxing in HNO3 for 4h. The oxidation procedure was characterized by using infrared spectroscopy. The functionalization was followed by reaction with thionyl chloride under reflux which allowed the inclusion of COCl groups on MWCNTs. Finally polypropylene-nanotubes composites were prepared by the functionalization of the MWCNTs with polypropylene.

Although YBa2Cu3O7- (YBCO) can be effective for practical application due to its high critical temperature (Tc), it has weak flux pinning which are the source of relatively low critical current (Jc). For improving Jc in this superconductor, it should be created artificial pinning centres. There are several approaches for producing these centres. One of them is adding the carbon nanostructures to the superconductor; among them the carbon nanotube (CNT) is much more effectual because of its geometry and being 1D structure. In this paper the compound films of YBCO- CNT are prepared via Doctor Blade method by adding 0.0% and 0.5% of CNTs. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data approve the phase orthorhombic structure for the all samples. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) indicates CNT additions have effected on the films grain boundaries as well as surface film continuity. These observations predict that existence of CNT in the Y-123 compounds improve the grain boundaries connection which lead to increase of Jc. Keywords: YBCO; Carbon nanotube; Doctor blade CAR 028

Synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CTNs) over Iron thin layer catalyst and acetylene or ethylene gas as carbon source was reported in high temperature chemical vapor deposition (HTCVD). In this study we prepared Fe (3nm) /Al (20nm) catalyst on Si wafer and ethanol vapor as carbon source, because of its low production costs, high hydrogen content, by using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system to synthesis of carbon nanotubes. Effect of temperature on CNTs length and quality was studied over Fe/Al catalysts at 580, 655, 730 and 805 C at the same other parameters. The results showed that we can synthesis CNTs over Fe catalyst in low temperature and the density and length of CNTs are best at 655 C.
