We have demonstrated near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy as a particularly useful and effective technique for simultaneously probing the surface chemistry, surface molecular orientation, degree of order, and electronic structure of carbon nanotubes and related nanomaterials. Specifically, we employ NEXAFS in the study of single-walled carbon nanotube and multi-walled...

Heat conduction in multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) was studied using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. This research focuses on the effects of the multi-wall structure of the MWNTs on the heat conduction. The results show that the thermal conductivity of a MWNT is almost the same as that of the corresponding single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) rather than much smaller as ...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com could be used as a nutrient carrier for macro and micro elements that may reduce their higher concentrations which are usually used. Carbon nanotubes applications in agriculture showed very promising results [4]. It takes an important role due to its competitive mechanical, electrical, thermal and chemical properties [3]. Single and multi-walled CNT...

A novel, simple method has been developed for the preconcentration of Cu(II) based on the adsorption of its Schiff’s cupferron complex on a multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) onto C18 cartridge .A new technique using a solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge with modified Schiff’s Cupferron complex on a multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) onto C18 cartridge as sorbent was developed for th...

The analysis of the structure and chemical state polyaniline/multi-walled carbon nanotube interface layer was carried out using both methods Near Edge X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure Photoelectron Spectroscopy. An photoelectron spectra showed an increase in content covalently bound chlorine, which may be due to functionalization nanotubes during polymer synthesis. spectrum shows two states chlo...

Hydrophilic multi-walled carbon nanotubes decorated with magnetite nanoparticles were readily taken up into lymph vessels and delivered gemcitabine to lymph nodes with high efficiency under the guidance of a magnetic field.

A new strategy for synthesis of Pt nanocubes on various supports by reduction of a Pt precursor under a CO atmosphere was described. The as-prepared Pt nanocubes supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes exhibited high activity toward methanol electrooxidation.

A UV-responsive supra-amphiphile based on a water-soluble pillar[6]arene was constructed. Its self-assembly and application in dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in water were studied.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were assembled with high density onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes, which were functionalized with zwitterionic poly(imidazoliumsulfonate). The AuNP/zwitterionic CNT hybrids exhibited decent electrocatalytic activity in oxygen reduction reaction as the AuNP-based catalysts.
