12. CNT macromaterials: challenges in testing and properties

Dr Anastasiia Mikhalchan

08/06/2026, 15:30

Interconnected networks of carbon nanotubes (CNT) synthesized by the direct Floating Catalyst CVD process (FCCVD) are the key structural components in macroscopic yarns and sheets. These macromaterials demonstrate high mechanical and electrical properties relevant to a wide range of applications.

Mechanical testing of CNT macromaterials usually involves dedicated equipment, such as micro-...

13. Å‑Scale Pore Generation in Functionalised Suspended Graphene

Generating pores in graphene by decoupled nucleation and expansion is desired to achieve a fine control over the porosity and is desired to advance several applications. In situ studies of pore formation are particularly valuable, as they enable direct observation of the process while simultaneously allowing measurement of the associated properties within the same experimental setup.1

Two-dimensional materials offer a versatile platform for nonlinear optoelectronics, where light can generate electrical currents and optical signals that are strongly tunable, symmetry-sensitive, and intrinsically linked to the microscopic dynamics of electrons. In contrast to conventional photodetection, nonlinear photocurrent generation can provide direct access to electronic structure,...
