The thickness of silver layer is about 40 to 60 nm, characterized as nano-crystalline with (111) crystal orientation along the nanotube's axial direction. The characterization of silver/carbon nanotube [Ag/CNT] nanowire has shown the large current carrying capability, and the electric conductivity is similar to the pure silver nanowires that Ag/CNT would be promising as building blocks for integrated circuits.PACS: 81.05.uj, carbon nanotubes, carbon-based materials, diamond/nanocarbon composites.Nanoscale research letters195https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC3338368biostudies-literatureFabrication of one-dimensional Ag/multiwalled carbon nanotube nano-composite.PMC3338368Peng YChen Q51falseFabrication of one-dimensional Ag/multiwalled carbon nanotube nano-composite.Composite made of multiwalled carbon nanotubes coated with silver was fabricated by an electroless deposition process.
