The evolution of carbon nanotube network structure in unidirectional nanocomposites resolved by quantitative electron tomography

June 23, 2015
Author(s)
Bharath NMN Natarajan, Noa Lachman, Thomas F. Lam, Douglas Jacobs, Christian J. Long, Minhua Zhao, Brian L. Wardle, Renu Sharma, James A. Liddle
Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced polymers are next-generation, high-performance, multifunctional materials with a wide array of promising applications. The successful introduction of such materials is hampered by the lack of a quantitative understanding of

Software for Dielectric characterization by microwave cavity perturbation corrected for non-uniform fields*

Author(s)
Nathan D. Orloff, Jan Obrzut, Christian J. Long, Thomas F. Lam, Pavel Kabos, David R. Novotny, James C. Booth, James A. Liddle
This software package was developed to analyze microwave cavity perturbation data in order to determine material dielectric properties. Example software is provided to assist with data acquisition and organization. Specifically, it is de-signed to be used

Dielectric characterization by microwave cavity perturbation corrected for non-uniform fields

Nathan D. Orloff, Jan Obrzut, Christian J. Long, Thomas F. Lam, James C. Booth, David R. Novotny, James A. Liddle, Pavel Kabos
The non-uniform fields that occur due to the slot in the cavity through which the sample is inserted and those due to the sample geometry itself decrease the accuracy of dielectric characterization by cavity perturbation at microwave frequencies. To

Multi-method analysis of multiwall carbon nanotube polymer nanocomposite samples after photodegradation

June 16, 2014
Author(s)
Elijah Petersen, Thomas F. Lam, Justin Gorham, Keana Scott, Chris Long, Renu Sharma, Li Piin Sung, James Alexander Liddle, Tinh Nguyen
Nanomaterials can be used as nanofillers to enhance the properties of polymeric materials. However, the effect of weathering on nanocomposites and the potential for nanomaterial release is not yet well understood. Multiple analytical methods are needed to

Impact of UV Irradiation on the Surface Chemistry and Structure of Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Epoxy Nanocomposites

December 6, 2013

Elijah Petersen, Thomas F. Lam, Justin Gorham, Keana Scott, Chris Long, Deborah Jacobs, Renu Sharma, James Alexander Liddle, Tinh Nguyen
One of the most promising applications of nanomaterials is as nanofillers to enhance the properties of polymeric materials. However, the effect of nanofillers on polymers subject to typical environmental stresses, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, high
