Workplace Monitoring of Airborne Carbon Nanomaterials by HRTEM

Biophysical influence of airborne carbon nanomaterials on natural pulmonary surfactant.

Inhalation of nanoparticles (NP), including lightweight airborne carbonaceous nanomaterials (CNM), poses a direct and systemic health threat to those who handle them. Inhaled NP penetrate deep pulmonary structures in which they first interact with the pulmonary surfactant (PS) lining at the alveolar air-water interface. In spite of many research efforts, there is a gap of knowledge between in v...

Carbon nanomaterials

The era of carbon nanomaterials has started with the first reports on fullerenes and related compounds in the mid-eighties, and a tremendous increase of the research activity in the field has been observed ever since. New classes of carbon materials have entered the scene such as carbon nanotubes, carbon onions, nanoscale diamond and diamondoids. A major turning point was the appearance of grap...

Flexural monitoring of carbon fiber/epoxy composite by acoustic emission

Carbon / epoxy composite is one of the most useful polymer matrix composites that has special properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, high hardness, high corrosion resistance, Resistance to nuclear radiation has high consumption in different industries such as aerospace industry. Therefor monitoring of loading of this type of composite is important. In order to determine failure mecha...

Assessment of Personal Exposure to Airborne Nanomaterials

Carbon Nanomaterials for Drug Delivery

Carbon nanomaterials with unique nanostructure (CMNS) are the most studied materials in nanotechnology, despite some conflicting results about their safety profiles [1, 2]. Although their structures are simple, carbon nanomaterials provide exceptional physical and chemical properties including high electrical and thermal conductivities, unique optical properties, and extreme chemical stability....
