Surface Oxidation of Carbon Nanofibres

Surface Oxidation of Carbon Nanofibres

Carbon nanofibres of the fishbone and parallel type were surface-oxidised by several methods. The untreated and oxidised fibres were studied with infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and XPS. Oxidation in a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acid turned out to be the most effective method for creating oxygen-containing surface groups. This treatment results not only in the...

Filling of carbon nanotubes and nanofibres

The reliable production of carbon nanotubes and nanofibres is a relatively new development, and due to their unique structure, there has been much interest in filling their hollow interiors. In this review, we provide an overview of the most common approaches for filling these carbon nanostructures. We highlight that filled carbon nanostructures are an emerging material for biomedical applicati...

Electrocatalytic oxidation of sulfite Ion at the surface carbon ceramic modified electrode with prussian blue

The redox properties of sulfite ion has been examind using cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile solvent at the surface of gold, pelatin and glassy carbon electrodes. It has bben found tha, sulfite ion exhibits two electron oxidation peak with EC’ mechanism. A novel chemically modified electrode containing Prussian blue complex and multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNs) was achieved on the surface of...

Carbon Nanotubes Reinforced Electrospun Polymer Nanofibres

With the rapid development in nanoscience and nanotechnology, there is an ever increasing demand for polymer fibres of diameters down to a nanometre scale having multiple functionalities. Electrospinning, as a simple and efficient nanofibre-making technology, has been used to produce polymer nanofibres for diverse applications. Electrospun nanofibres based on polymer/carbon nanotube (CNT) compo...
