Carbon nanotubes: are they dispersed or dissolved in liquids?
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) constitute a novel class of nanomaterials with remarkable applications in diverse domains. However, the main intrincsic problem of CNTs is their insolubility or very poor solubility in most of the common solvents. The basic key question here is: are carbon nanotubes dissolved or dispersed in liquids, specifically in water? When analyzing the scientific research articles ...
متن کاملWhy single-walled carbon nanotubes can be dispersed in imidazolium-based ionic liquids.
Spectroscopic and molecular modeling studies were performed to investigate the underlying dispersion mechanism of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in imidazolium-based ionic liquids. Both the experimental and the simulation evidence indicate that the ionic liquids interact with SWCNTs through weak van der Waals interaction other than the previous assumed "cation-pi" interaction. Therefor...
متن کاملTunable thermoresponsive water-dispersed multiwalled carbon nanotubes.
Polymers containing poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate and 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate have been synthesized by Cu(0)-mediated radical polymerisation for use as thermoresponsive water-dispersants for carbon nanotubes.
متن کاملToxic Christmas and New Year Holiday Plants...or Are They?
Background: Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima), holly (Ilex opaca) and mistletoe (Phoradendron flavescens) adorn homes during the Christmas and New Year holiday season and create the potential for curious children to sample their colorful leaves and enticing berries. This study was aimed to review the American Association of Poison Control Centers National Poison Data System (AAPCC NPDS) to des...
متن کاملDispersion of Carbon Nanotubes in Liquids
Production processes for carbon nanotubes often produce mixtures of solid morphologies that are mechanically entangled or that self-associate into aggregates. Entangled or aggregated nanoparticles often need to be dispersed into fluid suspensions in order to develop materials that have unique mechanical characteristics or transport properties. This paper reviews the effects of milling, ultrason...
