Applications of Carbon Nanotubes to Flexible Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) have attracted great interest because of their wide range of applications in solar cells, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and touch screen panels (TSPs). Indium-tin-oxide (ITO) thin films as TCEs possess exceptional optoelectronic properties, but they have several disadvantages such as a brittle nature due to their low fracture strain and lack of flexibility, a high processing temperature that damages the flexible substrates, low adhesion to polymeric materials, and relative rarity on Earth, which makes their price unstable. This has motivated several research studies of late for developing alternative materials to replace ITO such as metal meshes, metal nanowires, conductive polymers, graphene, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Out of the abovementioned candidates, CNTs have advantages in chemical stability, thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and flexibility. However, there are still several problems yet to be solved for achieving CNT-based flexible TCEs with excellent characteristics and high stability. In this chapter, the properties of CNTs and their applications especially for flexible TCEs are presented, including the preparation details of CNTs based on solution processes, the surface modification of flexible substrates, and the various types of hybrid TCEs based on CNTs

Multi-dimensional Limiting Strategy for Higher-order CFD Methods - Progress and Issue (Invited)

The present paper deals with the progress of multi-dimensional limiting process (MLP) and discuss the issues for further improvements. MLP, which has been originally developed in finite volume method (FVM), provides an accurate, robust and efficient oscillationcontrol mechanism in multiple dimensions for linear reconstruction. This limiting philosophy can be hierarchically extended into higher-order Pn approximation or reconstruction. The resulting algorithm, called the hierarchical MLP, facilitates the capturing of detailed flow structures while maintaining the formal order-of-accuracy in smooth region and providing accurate non-oscillatory solutions across discontinuous region. This algorithm has been developed within the modal DG framework, but it also can be formulated into a nodal framework, most notably the CPR framework. Troubled-cells are detected by applying the MLP concept, and the final accuracy is determined by the projection procedure and the hierarchical MLP limiting step. Through extensive numerical analyses and computations ranging from scalar conservation laws to fluid systems, it is demonstrated that the proposed limiting approach yields the outstanding performances in capturing compressible inviscid and viscous flow features. Further issues are also mentioned to improve and extend the current approach for higher-order simulations of high-Reynolds number compressible flows.Authors appreciate the financial supports by the EDISON program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Science, ICT & Future Planning (NRF-2011-0020559) and by NSL (National Space Laboratory) program through the National Research Foundation of Korea funded by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (NRF-2014M1A3A3A02034856).
