A facile method to align carbon nanotubes on polymeric membrane substrate

A facile method to align carbon nanotubes on polymeric membrane substrate

The alignment of carbon nanotubes (CNT) is the fundamental requirement to ensure their excellent functions but seems to be desolated in recent years. A facile method, hot-press combined with peel-off (HPPO), is introduced here, through which CNT can be successfully vertically aligned on the polymeric membrane substrate. Shear force and mechanical stretch are proposed to be the main forces to al...

Impact of Carbon Nanotubes on the ‎Polymeric Membrane for Oil – Water ‎Separation

   In this research, the classical phase inversion method was used to produce the polysulfone (PSF) membrane by using three different solvents: N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), chloroform (CHCL3) and tetrahydrofuran (THF). Furthermore, different concentrations of functionalized multi – walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were added to PSF membranes by the classical phase inversion method...

A facile method to coat mesoporous silica layer on carbon nanotubes by anionic surfactant

A facile method to clickable sensing polymeric nanoparticles.

Clickable biocompatible nanoparticles were prepared in a one-pot process by microemulsion polymerization using acrylamide, N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide and either N-(11-azido-3,6,9-trioxaundecanyl)acrylamide or N-propargylacrylamide, which were then readily modified by CuAAC reaction to afford sensing nanomaterials.

Controlled deposition of carbon nanotubes on a patterned substrate

We describe a new technique for the preparation of reactive templates of 1,2-aminopropyltriethoxysilane on silica surfaces, based on the chemical vapour deposition of silane molecules through a PMMA mask patterned by conventional electron-beam lithography. The template thickness and width are controlled down to the monolayer and 50 nm ranges respectively. These templates are successfully used f...
