Microstructure and Properties of Polypropylene/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites

In the last few years, great attention has been paid to the preparation of polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) due to the tremendous enhancement of the mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical and structural properties of the pristine material. This is due to the unique combination of structural, mechanical, electrical, and thermal transport properties of CNTs. Howev...

Fabrication and Mechanical Properties of Carbon Nanotube Composite Microtrusses

Metallic foams and periodic cellular structures have been investigated widely for energy absorption, thermal management, vibration damping, and structural load support applications [1, 2]. Periodic microtruss geometries, which comprise angled solid members that connect at node points, have been of interest because careful control of their geometry and periodicity [3-5] enables high stiffness, s...

investigation of the electronic properties of carbon and iii-v nanotubes

boron nitride semiconducting zigzag swcnt, $b_{cb}$$n_{cn}$$c_{1-cb-cn}$, as a potential candidate for making nanoelectronic devices was examined. in contrast to the previous dft calculations, wherein just one boron and nitrogen doping configuration have been considered, here for the average over all possible configurations, density of states (dos) was calculated in terms of boron and nitrogen ...

Nanotube Composite Carbon Fibers

The mechanical properties of materials in small rod-shaped form are of considerable technological interest since, due to their shape and size, they can exhibit appreciably greater strength relative to corresponding macroscopic forms. For example, the mechanical strength of silicon carbide whiskers systematically increases with decreasing whisker diameter over the 100 to 1 micron range. This phe...
