Carbon Nanotube Inkjet Printing For Flexible Electronics And Chemical Sensor Applications, Ryan P. Tortorich
Carbon Nanotube Inkjet Printing For Flexible Electronics And Chemical Sensor Applications, Ryan P. Tortorich
LSU Master's Theses
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are becoming a promising new material for use in many fields including the field of electronics. Their mechanical and electrical properties lend themselves to be used in a new generation of electronic devices, namely flexible electronics. Although many deposition methods for carbon nanotubes exist, inkjet printing offers many advantages including superior patterning ability and low-cost fabrication. Presented in this work is the use of inkjet printing in order to deposit carbon nanotubes onto a flexible transparency film. The methods for developing and printing an aqueous single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) ink and an aqueous multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) …

Deposition Of Carbon Layers From Cyclohexane By Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition, Bharath Thiruvengadachari
LSU Master's Theses
The overall aim of this thesis is to deposit carbon layers by thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and investigate the effects of process parameters on the morphology and structure of the deposited carbon layers. Cyclohexane (C6H12) hydrocarbon is the precursor material used as the source of carbon. A 20% Cu- 80% Ni alloy, deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and annealed at the growth temperature either in an argon flow or in 10% hydrogen-90% argon flow, is used as a catalyst prior to carbon film deposition by CVD. The CVD temperature is varied between 550 0C and 800 0C. The Cu-Ni …
