In this paper, the performance of carbon nanocone as an ideal adsorbent and sensing material for tetryl was investigated by density functional theory. For this aim, the structures of tetryl, carbon nanocone and their complexes were optimized geometrically. Afterwards, IR and FMO computations were done on them. The obtained thermodynamic parameters showed the interaction of car...

in this paper, a new method is proposed for the production of mwcnts/pvc (multi-walled carbon nanotubes/ polyvinyl chloride) nanocomposites. in this method, a spray is used to produce layers of carbon nanotubes within a pvc matrix. various parameters influence the production of the nanocomposite and its mechanical properties. these parameters are studied separately and the effect of each of par...

the electrochemistry of banana tissues on a carbon paste electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) is presented. cyclic voltammetry is applied to investigate the direct electrochemistry of banana tissues i.e. a source of polyphenol oxidase (ppo). a redox couple with an anodic and counterpart cathodic peak is obtained. the influence of various parameters such as ph, scan rat...

Drug delivery by nanomaterials is an active emergent research area and CNTs draws considerable potential application owing to its unique quasi one-dimensional structure and electronic properties. Single walled carbon nanotubes and carbon fullerenes can be used in drug delivery due to their mechanical and chemical stability. The past few years, increasing attention by several reputed groups has ...

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) membranes (buckypaper) and carbon nanofiber (CNF) paper were incorporated onto the surface of epoxy carbon fiber composites, as proposed fire shields. Their flammability behaviors were investigated by a cone calorimeter. SWCNT buckypaper and CNF paper did not show notable improvement on fire retardancy. However, MWCN...

Cellulose wastes of a wood and paper factory were used to produce activated carbon. Several chemical agents under various conditions were used for production of activated carbon and hence their adsorption properties have been evaluated. In addition the effect of process parameters such as raw material, chemical agent concentration, impregnation ratio, carbonization temperature, carbonization ti...
