Abstract EN
The effects of saline solution on the electrical resistance of single wall carbon nanotubes-epoxy nanocomposites have been investigated experimentally.
Ultrasonic assisted fabricated 1.0% and 0.5 W/W% SWCNTs epoxy nanocomposites are integrated into a Kelvin structure by smear cast the nanocomposites on a glass wafer.
Four metal pads are deposited on the nanocomposites using the beam evaporator and wires are tethered using soldering.
The effect of saline solution on the electrical resistance of the nanocomposites is studied by adding drop of saline solution to the surface of the fabricated nanocomposites and measuring electrical resistance.
Moreover, the nanocomposites are soaked completely into 3 wt.% saline solution and real-time measurement of the electrical resistance is conducted.
It is found that a drop of saline solution on the surface of the nanocomposites film increases the resistance by 50%.
Furthermore, the real-time measurement reveals a 40% increase in the resistance of the nanocomposites film.
More importantly, the nanocomposites are successfully reset by soaking in DI water for four hours.
This study may open the door for using SWCNTs epoxy nanocomposites as scale sensors in oil and gas industry.
