What is PD IEC/TS 62607-2-1 - Film resistance of carbon nanotube materials (CNT) about?
PD IEC/TS 62607 is a technical specification that discusses key control characteristics for nanomanufacturing. PD IEC/TS 62607-2-1 is the first subpart of the second part of a multi-part series that provides a standardised method for categorizing a grade of commercial CNTs in terms of their electrical properties to enable a user to select a CNT material suitable for their application.
The method provided under PD IEC/TS 62607 assists in assessing whether the delivered materials from different production batches of the same production process are comparable regarding electrical properties of the final product that are related to electrical conductivity.
The correlation between the measured parameters by the proposed method and a relevant product performance parameter must be established for every application. This specification includes:
- Definitions of terminology used in this document
- Recommendations for sample preparation
- Outlines of the experimental procedures to measure sheet resistance of CNTs in thin films
- Methods of interpretation of results and discussion of data analysis
- Case studies
- References
Who is PD IEC/TS 62607-2-1 - Film resistance of CNT for?
PD IEC/TS 62607-2-1 on film resistance of carbon nanotube materials is useful for:
- SWCNT and MWCNT manufacturers
- Test laboratories
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use PD IEC/TS 62607-2-1 - Film resistance of CNT?
A single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is a carbon nanotube consisting of a single cylindrical graphene layer and a multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) carbon nanotube composed of nested, concentric, or near-concentric graphene sheets with interlayer distances like those of graphite. Sheet resistance is a measure of the resistance of thin films that are nominally uniform in thickness.
PD IEC/TS 62607-2-1 guideline assists you with sample preparation methods, measurement of sheet resistance of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) or multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) films, 4-point measurement, 4-wire measurement, and data analysis/interpretation of results for carbon nanotube materials for film resistance on carbon nanotube materials.
With obedience and compliance to PD IEC/TS 62607-2-1, you can categorize the grade of commercial CNTs in terms of their electrical properties that enable you to select a CNT material suitable for their applications. Additionally, it assists you in efficiently assessing the electrical properties of CNTs.
