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 کاملThe morphology, porosity and productivity control of carbon nanofibers or nanotubes on modified activated carbon
Since their discovery, carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers (CNTs or CNFs) have exhibited potential in a wide range of physical and chemical applications [1] and [2]. For applications in gas phase catalysis, loose CNTs or CNFs are unsuited because they limit the catalyst–reactant transport properties and they are difficult to handle when filling in the reactor tubes. In addition, there is a h...
متن کاملCarbon Nanofibers Have IgE Adjuvant Capacity but Are Less Potent Than Nanotubes in Promoting Allergic Airway Responses
There is a growing concern for the possible health impact of nanoparticles. The main objective of this study was to investigate the allergy-promoting capacity of four different carbon nanofiber (CNF) samples in an injection and an airway mouse model of allergy. Secondly, the potency of the CNF was compared to the previously reported allergy-promoting capacity of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in the ai...
متن کاملSaying More (or Less) than One Thing
In a paper called Definiteness and Knowability, Timothy Williamson investigates the question of whether one must accept that vagueness is an epistemic phenomenon if one adopts classical logic and a disquotational principle for truth. Some have thought that one must not, and have argued that classical logic and the disquotational principle can be preserved without accepting that vagueness is an ...
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...
