Abstract Mercury (Hg) in seawater enters the body through food chain, causing damage to organs and nervous system. Thus, there is an urgent need explore a rapid convenient sensor for detection monitoring of Hg(II) seawater. Herein, ZnO-CNTs/Nano-Au modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared by dropping method. The structure composite membrane mainly observed scanning electron microscopy (SEM...

Abstract: In the electrospinning process, a modified parallel electrode method (MPEM), conducted by placing a positively charged ring between the needle and the parallel electrode collector, was used to fabricate highly aligned carbon nanotubes/polyacrylonitrile (CNTs/PAN) composite nanofibers. Characterizations of the samples—such as morphology, the degree of alignment, and mechanical and cond...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are an economical and multi-functional nanofiller that can further elevate the versatile performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). The past two decades have seen significant progress in design, fabrication, characterization CNTs modified FRPs (CNT-FRPs). introduction has been proven to enhance key mechanical properties CNT-FRPs endow composite with additional functi...

Label-free detections of biomolecules have attracted great attention in a lot of life science fields such as genomics, clinical diagnosis and practical pharmacy. In this article, we reviewed amperometric and potentiometric biosensors based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In amperometric detections, CNT-modified electrodes were used as working electrodes to significantly enhance electroactive surfac...

A novel assay for the electrochemical detection of 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) based on carbon nanotubes modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (CNTs-SPCEs) has been investigated. The electrochemical behavior of the modified SPCEs and the mechanism of the oxidation of NP were investigated using cyclic voltammetry. The differential pulse voltammetry parameters were optimized for quantitative determi...

Sulfur (S) is introduced as an additive in the growth atmosphere of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the range of 940-1020°C. CNT products with distorted sidewalls can be obtained by S-assisted growth. Moreover, many fascinating CNT structures can also be found in samples grown with S addition, such as bamboo-like CNTs, twisted CNTs, arborization-like CNTs, and bead-like CNTs. Compared with CNTs grow...

In this work, the carbon fibres (CFs) surfaces were modified via sizing and coated with a very thin layer of complex formulation including nanotubes (CNTs). A push-out method was developed based on nanoindentation to assess interfacial shear strength fibre/matrix. The mechanical properties such as indentation hardness, reduced modulus, displacement creep composite evaluated by means Oliver-Phar...

This review paper reported carbon nanotubes reinforced composites for biomedical applications. Several studies have found enhancement in the mechanical properties of CNTs-based reinforced composites by the addition of CNTs. CNTs reinforced composites have been intensively investigated for many aspects of life, especially being made for biomedical applications. The review introduced fabrication ...

A symmetrical cyanine dye chromophore is modified with different counteranions to study the effect on crystal packing, polarizability, thermal stability, optical properties, light absorbing layer morphology, and organic photovoltaic (OPV) device parameters. Four sulfonate-based anions and the bulky bistriflylimide anion are introduced to the 2-[5-(1,3-dihydro-1,3,3-trimethyl-2H-indol-2-ylidene)...
