Impact of Methyl Cellulose Surfactant in Uniform Dispersion of Carbon Nanotube Suspension

Abstract

In this paper, experimental synthesis of uniform dispersion of carbon nanotube using four different surfactants have been presented. Carboxy Methyl Cellulose sample is a better surfactant to disperse CNT in an aqueous solution rather than in organic solutions. The uniformly dispersed sample is coated on silicon substrate and the surface morphology is studied using AFM and SEM and I-V characteristics are studied for the effective sample using PXI 4110 slot of National Instruments.
