| Abstract | This investigation has achieved semi-uniform coatings of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) onto copper substrates by electrodeposition from a metallic plating bath as well as electrophoretic deposition. Furthermore, SWNT mat was used as an electrode in which metallic ions were electrodeposited. CVD-produced SWNT were functionalized via agitation concentrated sulfuric acid/nitric acid. FTIR studies confirm the presence of carboxylic and hydroxyl groups on COOH-SWNT. COOH-SWNT were ultrasonicated in cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic surfactant which lends a positive charge. The suspension was added to Cu and Ni metallic plating baths. Electrolytic deposition was carried out on plating baths containing COOH-SWNT. In addition, electrophoretic deposition was performed using COOH-SWNT dispersed in aqueous solutions of CTAB. Scanning Electron Microscope/Focused Ion Beam (SEM/FIB) was implemented to characterize nanotube dispersion as well as plating deposition, uniformity and morphology. SEM imaging of FIB cross-sections show limited uniformity of nanotube coatings, with agglomerations of varying sizes, depending on the nature of the deposition. Also observed is a morphological conformation of metallic ions to deposited COOH-SWNT. Finally, metallic deposition onto SWNT mat shows a uniform metallic layer on the surface as well as metallics within the nanotube matrix, indicative of diffusion occurring during the plating process. Current studies focus on the electrical performance of iso-metallic SWNT (iso-M-SWNT) as well as metallic substrates coated with pristine or COOH-SWNT. Contact resistance measurements were performed on iso-M-SWNT mat with a soft Au ball as the probe. Iso-M-SWNT mat containing 70% metallic nanotubes exhibit resistance values of approximately 450 mOhm upon a maximum force of 50 cN. The morphological and electrical characterization reported here was performed in an effort to enhance uniformity and dispersion of nanotube-plated metals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
