1. Computational studies of graphene and single walled carbon nanotube growth and carbonaceous polymeric nanocomposites
Sammanfattning : Graphene and single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) has attracted a lot of attention in different fields of science due to its unique electrical, mechanical, and optical properties. Controlling the growth of graphene and SWNT is a very topical subject and critical for producing material with desired properties since their properties are highly dependent on their atomic structure and it is often desirable that the material contains very few or (if possible) no defects.

2. Carbon Nanotube Polymer Composites: Mechanical, Electrical and Photorefractive Properties
Sammanfattning : Incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNT) into polymers is attractive due to the generally good processability of polymers and unprecedented properties of nanotubes. In this work, preparation and matrix known earlier but not employed so-far for nanocomposites are studied towards enhanced mechanical and electrical performances. LÄS MER
3. A Theoretical Study of Carbon Nanotubes in Electronic Packaging Applications
Sammanfattning : The continuous decrease in size of transistors has allowed more components to be integrated in a single unit area and brings a range of opportunities as well as problems to the electronic packaging industry. To meet these challenges, the introduction of Carbon Nanotubes (CNT), which display a series of extraordinary properties, have attracted great interest. LÄS MER
4. Chemistry of Carbon Nanostructures : Functionalization of Carbon Nanotubes and Synthesis of Organometallic Fullerene Derivatives
Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on two main parts. The first part concerns purification and functionalization of carbon nanotubes (papers I-III), and the second part is related to the synthesis of organometallic fullerene derivatives (papers IV-VII): Two oxidative methods involving aqueous nitric acid were compared with respect to their capability to introduce carboxylic groups into single walled carbon nanotubes, and several literature methods for esterification and amidation of these groups have been evaluated with focus on efficiency and reproducibility in forming covalently functionalized products soluble in organic media.

5. Carbon nanotube/MF composites
Sammanfattning : A new generation of composites, frequently referred to as nanocomposites, are making research and engineering impact worldwide. Particularly, the incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNT) into polymers is attractive, due to the generally good processability of polymers and the unprecedented properties of nanotubes. LÄS MER
