| 講演要旨 |
The dynamic transport of fluids in nanochannels is receiving increased attention not only
because of its relevance to fundamental questions regarding fluid behavior near or below
the continuum limit, but also because of its potential implications in technological applications
of the future. An investigation is presented on the dynamic characteristics of multiphase fluids in
multiwall carbon nanotubes. Thermal experiments with nanonmeter resolution are conducted in the
high vacuum of a transmission electron microscope using electron irradiation as a means of
heating the fluid contents of individual nanotubes. Video sequences demonstrate the capability to transfer
fluid along the carbon nanotube interior. Some aspects of wetting at fine scales are also discussed.
This research demonstrates the potential of incorporating carbon nanotubes in future nanofluidic devices. |
