Hydration Phenomena of Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes (CNT)/Cement Composites

Chemically functionalized carbon nanotubes.

Since their discovery, carbon nanotubes have attracted the attention of many a scientist around the world. This extraordinary interest stems from their outstanding structural, mechanical, and electronic properties. In fact, apart from being the best and most easily available one-dimensional (1D) model system, carbon nanotubes show strong application potential in electronics, scanning probe micr...

Functionalized carbon nanotubes: biomedical applications

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are emerging as novel nanomaterials for various biomedical applications. CNTs can be used to deliver a variety of therapeutic agents, including biomolecules, to the target disease sites. In addition, their unparalleled optical and electrical properties make them excellent candidates for bioimaging and other biomedical applications. However, the high cytotoxicity of CNTs ...

Contact phenomena in carbon nanotubes

Poor screening of the long-range Coulomb interaction in one-dimensional carbon nanotubes results in a peculiar picture of contact phenomena. Being brought to a contact with a metal, conducting nanotube accumulates electric charge whose density decays slowly with the distance from the contact. This should be contrasted to a conventional metal-metal contact where the charge density decreases expo...
