Carbon nanotube networks (CNTs)-based devices are well suited for the physically unclonable function (PUF) due to the inherent randomness of the CNT network, but CNT networks can vary significantly during manufacturing due to various controllable process conditions, which have a significant impact on PUF performance. Therefore, optimization of process conditions is essential to have a PUF with excellent performance. However, because it is time-consuming and costly to fabricate directly under various conditions, we implement randomly formed CNT network using simulation and confirm the variable correlation of the CNT network optimized for PUF performance. At the same time, by implementing an analog PUF through simulation, we present a 2D patterned PUF that has excellent security and can compensate for error occurrence problems. To evaluate the performance of analog PUF, a new evaluation method different from the existing digital PUF is proposed, and the PUF performance is compared according to two process variables, CNT density and metallic CNT ratio, and the correlation with PUF performance is confirmed. This study can serve as a basis for research to produce optimized CNT PUF by applying simulation according to the needs of the process of forming a CNT network.

In this study, a self-assembled electrochemical sensor was prepared by coating with a carbon nanotube (CNT) decorated hydrogel (HG) combined with electrodeposition of methylene blue (MB), and then used for the detection of ascorbic acid (AA). The three-dimensional network of HG has the advantages of large electroactive surface area, rapid diffusion and electron transfer rate, strong adhesive ability and stabilization of the polymerized MB. The MB provides high electrocatalytic activity and works as an electron transfer mediator to facilitate the oxidation of AA.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced copper-based composites (CNT/Cu) have been extensively investigated due to their exceptional theoretical electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. However, the actual performance of these composites has consistently fallen short of theoretical expectations. This discrepancy primarily arises from the inability to achieve direct chemical bonding between copper and carbon nanotubes or to alloy them effectively.

A cutting-edge method that uses electromagnetic (EM) energy for the melt processing of thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites (TPNCs) is reported. The properties and microstructures of TPNCs produced via the proposed EM-processing method and TPNCs via conventional heat processing are contrasted. The EM-processed TPNCs prepared with EM-susceptible carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibited a significant enhancement in transport and mechanical properties, outperforming the conventionally processed TPNCs.
