Explore the application of fluorescence spectroscopy in characterizing single-walled carbon nanotubes within nanocomposites in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into topics such as carbon and graphene nanotubes, attitude sensing, microscopy, and one-dimensional gas detection. Learn about the process of making thin films with epoxy and single-walled carbon nanotubes, and understand the effects of strain, loading, and unloading on these materials. Gain valuable insights from Associate Professor of Physics Paul Withey as he discusses the intricate details of dispersion, strain, and alignment in nanocomposite structures.
