"Effects of dissolved gases in the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water" by Prof. C.K. Chan
Date : December 9 th (Fri), 2016 Time: 3:00pm – 4:00pm Venue: D015, Lab1 Level D Speaker: Prof. C.K. Chan (Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica, Taiwan)
Title: Effects of dissolved gases in the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water
Abstract: Normally, carbon nano-tubes (CNT) cannot be dispersed easily in water because of the hydrophobicity of carbon surfaces. Usually, surfactants are added to form a stable CNT/Water dispersion. Here we report our experiments to explore the effects of dissolved gases in the water on the formation of CNT/water dispersion. In the experiments, multi-wall CNT are dispersed by sonification in water with and without degassing by the freeze-pump-thaw method. Contrary to the formation of stable surfactant-free dispersion...
