Abstract
Fermented glutinous rice prepared at different incubation time was prepared and used as a starting material in CNTs synthesis using 2‐system thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) method. The preparation of fermented glutinous rice was adapted from traditional process, with some alteration and assessment of the effects of incubation time in the fermentation process. The incubation period was fluctuated from 2 to 10 days of time. The CNTs was deposited on nickel coated silicon where the nickel acts as catalyst in the growth process. The prepared CNTs were analyzed using fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to determine the chemical properties in the sample. The CNTs were structurally characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at different magnification to see the differences of CNTs growth at different incubation time of the starting material. The results suggested that favorable CNTs structures can be obtained at short time of incubation period, in which the CNTs sized increases with the augmentation of incubation time.
