“…in addition, it is currently believed that the catalyst should form nanoparticles of a favorable size to initiate the growth of a cnF. Therefore, the catalyst can be deposited as a film using physical vapor deposition techniques or directly as nanoparticles using spray coating [17] or spinning [18], provided that the growth temperature will lead to a dissociation of the film into droplet/nanoparticles of appropriate size. The a angle not only determines the nature of the carbon nanostructures but also its electrical and mechanical properties.…”

“…Spray gun deposition technique was also applied for the deposition of catalysts precursors, such as iron chlorides (III), in order to achieve the growth of CNTs. Such methods of catalysts' deposition as film on various substrates are simple, cost effective and can be applied on large surfaces [9].…”

-Manufacturing of nanomaterials is an interdisciplinary field covering physics, chemistry, biology, materials science and engineering. The interaction between scientists with different disciplines will undoubtedly lead to the production of novel materials with tailored properties. The success of nanomanufacturing depends on the strong cooperation between academia and industry in order to be informed about current needs and future challenges, to design products directly transferred into the industrial sector. It is of paramount importance the selection of the appropriate method combining synthesis of nanomaterials with required properties and limited impurities as well as scalability of the technique. Their industrial use faces many obstacles as there is no suitable regulatory framework and guidance on safety requirements; specific provisions have yet to be established in EU legislation. Moreover, regulations related to the right of intellectual properties as well as the absence of an appropriate framework for patent registration are issues delaying the process of products' industrial application. The utilization of high-quality nanomaterials is now growing and coming to the industrial arena rendering them as the next generation attractive resources with promising applications. Undoubtedly, the existing gap between basic research relating nanomaterials and their application in real life will be overcome in the coming decade.

Fabrication of multi-walled carbon nanotube thin films via electrophoretic deposition process: effect of water magnetization on deposition efficiency

et al. 2015

In this study, the effect of water magnetization was investigated on the performance of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Magnetization of water was carried out via two different methods including static and dynamic magnetization processes. It has been found that magnetization of water, as the EPD medium, could enhance several characteristics of MWCNT thin films (MWCNT-TFs). Application of magnetized water as solvent in EPD process resulted in higher electrical conductivity of EPD suspension; consequently, required deposition time was reduced and the electrolysis of water, which is known as one of the main disadvantages of water-based EPDs, was controlled to some extent. Surface morphology of MWCNT-TFs was studied via scanning electron microscopy, and notable enhancement was detected in uniformity and density of MWCNT-TF network. Significant improvement was achieved in electrical conductivity (up to 54 % increase in current) of MWCNT-TF by measuring the current versus voltage characteristics of MWCNT-TFs.
