Cancer and Carbon Nano Tubes: A Promising Hope of Future

Defects and Structural Analysis of Multi-Wall Carbon Nano Tubes via Ball milling and Cryo-milling

Nano fillers are part of new studies to enhance various properties of fluids and solids. For example, adding nanoparticles as an enforcement in nanocomposites or as an additive to improve thermal or electrical properties in nano-fluids are of extreme importance in science and industry. There are numerous methods to uniformly disperse nanoparticles in fluid and solid phase. One of the well-used ...

A Promising Future for Prostate Cancer Diagnostics

It has been estimated that globally there is a death attributable to prostate cancer every four minutes. As life expectancy in all world regions increases, so too incidence of this disease of the ageing male will increase. For many men diagnosis occurs after presentation with symptoms of altered urinary dynamics. Unfortunately, these changes, whilst also associated with benign disease, are evid...

Fabrication of carbon nano-tubes decorated with ultra fine superparamagnetic nano-particles under continuous flow conditions.

Ultra fine (2-3 nm) magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nano-particles are uniformly deposited on single-walled carbon nano-tubes (SWCNTs) pre-functionalised with carboxylic acid groups using microwave radiation. The deposition process involves chemical precipitation associated with continuous flow spinning disc processing (SDP), as a rapid, environmentally friendly approach which is readily scalable for lar...

A review on Carbon nano-tubes - A new era of nanotechnology

Carbon nanotubes, which consist of rolled graphene sheets built from sp hybridized carbon atoms, were reported to be discovered in 1991, and are now attracting researchers from various disciplines due to their alluring physico-chemical properties. The special nature of carbon combines with the molecular perfection of buckytubes to endow them with exceptionally high material properties such as e...

Tribological studies of polyphenylene sulfide composites filled with micro/nano particles and reinforced with short fibers or carbon nano-tubes/carbon nano-fibers
