In this study, the structural and electrical characteristics of carbon nanowalls (CNWs) synthesized on polyimide films were investigated. CNWs were synthesized on polyimide films as various growth times. The cross-section and surface of the CNWs synthesized were examined using FE-SEM. The growth and defects of CNWs were observed by raman spectrum. The hall measurement system was used to analyzed sheet resistance, resistivity and conductivity. The CNWs synthesized at 40 minutes showed outstanding structural and electrical characterizations than another growth times.

Hybrid materials of core-shell particles and cellulose nanowhiskers (CNWs) were synthesized to produce opal films with increasing tensile strength. After the incorporation of CNWs into the processed particle films, differences in the mechanical and optical properties were noticeable, which stemmed from the adhesion forces between the cellulose and the particles' shell material. Two different particle compositions were compared, using polystyrene as cores, and either poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA) or a copolymer of ethyl acrylate and 3 wt % of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as the shell material.

Carbon nanowalls (CNWs) have attracted significant attention for gas sensing applications due to their exceptional material properties such as large specific surface area, electric conductivity, nano- and/or micro-porous structure, and high charge carrier mobility. In this work, CNW films were synthesized and used to fabricate gas sensors for carbon dioxide (CO) gas sensing. The CNW films were synthesized using an inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method and their structural and morphological properties were characterized using Raman spectroscopy and electron microscopy.

In this paper, a new synthesis of carbon nanofibers (CNFs)/carbon nanowalls (CNWs) was performed to improve the characteristics of anode materials of lithium-ion batteries by using the advantages offered by CNWs and CNFs. Among the carbon-based nanomaterials, CNWs provide low resistance and high specific surface area. CNFs have the advantage of being stretchable and durable.

Carbon nanowires (CNWs), long linear carbon chains encapsulated inside carbon nanotubes, exhibit sp hybridization characteristics as one of one-dimensional nanocarbon materials. The research interests on CNWs are accelerated by the successful experimental syntheses from the multi-walled to double-walled until single-walled CNWs recently but the formation mechanisms and structure-property relationships of CNWs remain poorly understood. In this work, we studied the insertion-and-fusion formation process of CNWs at an atomistic level using ReaxFF reactive molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations with particular focus on the hydrogen (H) adatom effects on the configurations and properties of carbon chains.
