Thermal Decomposition Properties of NaClO4 Functionalized CNT Arrays
Aligned CNT mats were prepared by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method by exposing a mixture of ferrocene and xylene vapor to the SiO2/Si substrates. Aligned CNT mats functionalized with reactive chemicals without disturbing CNT alignment were characterized by SEM,
XRD, FT-IR, FT-Raman and XPS. The thermal stability of the CNT, CNT-OH and CNT-NaClO4 are investigated using TG-DSC analysis. Oxidation and combustion temperatures of CNT mats were found to be decreased by functionalizing the CNT mats with NaClO4.
