Exploring the alignment of carbon nanotubes dispersed in a liquid crystal matrix using coplanar electrodes (2015)
Journal Article
Volpati, D., Massey, M., Johnson, D., Kotsialos, A., Qaiser, F., Pearson, C., …Petty, M. (2015). Exploring the alignment of carbon nanotubes dispersed in a liquid crystal matrix using coplanar electrodes. Journal of Applied Physics, 117(12), Article 125303. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4916080

We report on the use of a liquid crystalline host medium to align single-walled carbon nanotubes in an electric field using an in-plane electrode configuration. Electron microscopy reveals that the nanotubes orient in the field with a resulting incre...

Covalently interconnected single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) networks have attracted a particular interest due to their enhanced accessible surface area. Herein, an elegant way of preparing covalently interconnected SWNTs is demonstrated for the fi...

Poole-Frenkel conduction in single wall carbon nanotube composite films built up by electrostatic layer-by-layer deposition (2008)
Journal Article
Jombert, A., Coleman, K., Wood, D., Petty, M., & Zeze, D. (2008). Poole-Frenkel conduction in single wall carbon nanotube composite films built up by electrostatic layer-by-layer deposition. Journal of Applied Physics, 104(9), Article 094503. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3006015

The fabrication of large area thin films of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using electrostatic layer-by-layer deposition is reported. The in-plane current versus voltage (I-V) characteristics were dependent on the concentration of SWCNTs trans...
