Carbon Nanotube Addition to Simultaneously Enhance Strength and Ductility of Hybrid AZ31/AA5083 Alloy

Simultaneously Increasing the Ductility and Strength of Nanostructured Alloys

Strength and ductility are two of the most important mechanical properties of structural materials. However, they are often mutually exclusive, i.e., a material may be strong or ductile, but rarely both at the same time. This is also true for bulk nanostructured materials, which usually have high strength, but disappointingly low ductility. Bulk nanostructured materials are usually synthesized ...

Assessing carbon nanotube strength

Hybrid hydrogel-aligned carbon nanotube scaffolds to enhance cardiac differentiation of embryoid bodies.

UNLABELLED Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were aligned in gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels using dielectrophoresis approach. Mouse embryoid bodies (EBs) were cultured in the microwells fabricated on the aligned CNT-hydrogel scaffolds. The GelMA-dielectrophoretically aligned CNT hydrogels enhanced the cardiac differentiation of the EBs compared with the pure GelMA and GelMA-random CNT hydrogels. ...

Modifying functionalized-carbon-nanotube capacity to enhance water-vapor adsorption capacity from nitrogen gas

The primary objective of this paper is to enhance the water-vapor-adsorption capacity of multiwall-carbon-nanotube (MWCNT) from nitrogen gas by grafting sulfonic acid groups and doping palladium nanoparticles into the adsorbent. MWCNT has been selected to be modified because of having homogeneous adsorption energy compared to silica gel. As a result, it is capable of creating isotherm having sh...

Theoretical Study of Addition Reaction of Carbene and Zigzag Single-walled Carbon Nanotube

The reaction mechanism between (H2C) and (7, 0), zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes(ZSWCNTs) on two different orientation of C-C have been studied by semi empirical AM!method. The activation barriers of (H2C) adding to (7, 0) ZSWCNT are computed and compared.The effects of diameters of zigzag SWCNT on their binding energies were studied
