THE PROPERTIES OF CADMIUM OXIDE-CARBON NANOTUBE NANOCOMPOSITE SYNTHESIZED VIA SOL-GEL METHOD

In this study, cadmium oxide based carbon nanotube reinforced material was produced and the optical and electrical properties of the obtained composite were investigated. After the carbon nanotubes used as reinforcement material were synthesized using the chemical vapor deposition method, they were supplemented at different ratios to the commercially available cadmium oxide powders. As another group of samples; cadmium oxide powders were synthesized by the sol-gel method and the carbon nanotubes were again supplemented at different ratios. Synthesized carbon nanotubes were subjected to Transmission Electron Microscope examination. Composite materials obtained were examined by Scanning Electron Microscope. Then, the changes in the electrical conductivity of the composites obtained by temperature were measured. The optical properties of the composites were determined by taking UV-vis spectrometers.
