Structural Changes of Carbon Nanotubes Prepared by Fermented Glutinous Rice at Different Vaporization and Deposition Temperatures of Thermal-CVD

摘要

A series of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with different vaporization and deposition temperature deposited on nickel coated silicon were prepared by two-system thermal chemical vapor deposition (Thermal-CVD) method. The CNTs were prepared using fermented glutinous rice, a new approach of starting material that may create new market on nanotechnology fabrication. The purpose of this paper is to optimize the temperature of thermal-CVD method with intention it can be suitable used for the fermented glutinous rice as the starting material. The prepared samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at various spots and magnification.
