In this study, modified catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) method was applied to control the CNTs (carbon nanotubes) growth. Since titanium (Ti) substrate and iron (Fe) catalysts react one another and form a new phase (Fe2TiO5) above 700℃, the decrease of CNT yield above 800℃ where methane gas decomposes is inevitable under common CCVD method. Therefore, we synthesized CNTs on the Ti substrate by dividing the tube furnace into two sections (left and right) and heating them to different temperatures each. The reactant gas flew through from the end of the right tube furnace while the Ti substrate was placed in the center of the left tube furnace. When the CNT growth temperature was set 700/950℃ (left/right), CNTs with high yield were observed. Also, by examining the micro-structure of CNTs of 700/950℃, it was confirmed that CNTs show the bamboo-like structure.
This paper describes the surface modification effect of a Ti substrate for improved dispersibility of the cat-alytic metal. Etching of a pure titanium substrate was conducted in 50% H₂SO₄, 50˚C for 1h-12h to observe the sur-face roughness as a function of the etching time. At 1h, the grain boundaries were obvious and the crystal grains weredistinguishable. The grain surface showed micro-porosities owing to the formation of micro-pits less than 1 µm in diam-eter. The depths of the grain boundary and micro-pits appear to increase with etching time. After synthesizing the cat-alytic metal and growing the carbon nano tube (CNT) on Ti substrate with varying surface roughness, the distributiontrends of the catalytic metal and grown CNT on Ti substrate are discussed from a micro-structural perspective.
This experiments was conducted to investigate the influence on growth of rye, triticale with legume and investigated their productivity, feed value and stock carrying capacity in order to select the appropriate forage species in the central region of Korea. In the results, Rye+Red clover showed 5.2ton/ha of dry matter yield. But there was no significant difference with Triticale+Red clover and Rye in upland field. In paddy field, Rye+Hairy vetch showed 5.2ton/ha, but there was no significant difference with Triticale+Hairy vetch and Rye. Mixture effects with Rye, Triticale and Red clover, Hairy vetch by relative yield were more than 1.00 compared to monoculture, and their mixture effect was recognized in upland and paddy field. Relative feed value was highest in the applications of Triticale mixture in upland and paddy field. The average value of KCP and KTDN showed the highest one as 2.75head/ha/yr in Rye+Red clover in upland field and 2.84head/ha/yr in Triticale+Hairy vetch in paddy field. According to the results, Rye+Red clover in upland field and Triticale+Hairy vetch in paddy field were considered to be the most appropriate winter forage crops for the central region of Korea in terms of productivity, feed value and stock carrying capacity.
