This paper reports on the development of electrically conductive nanocomposites containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes in an unsaturated polyester matrix. The resistivity of the liquid suspension during processing is used to evaluate the quality of the filler dispersion, which is also studied using optical microscopy. The electrical properties of the cured composites are analysed by AC impeda...

Recent advances in the field of biomedical have been remarkably achieved last few years, especially fabrication nanomaterials that various applications. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are carbon-based materials with cylindrical shapes an average diameter less than 2 nanometre (nm) for single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs) and multi-walled (MWCNTs) diameters up to 100 nm. demonstrate outstanding excellent mechan...

A powerful enzymatic mimetic has been fabricated by employing graphene oxide (GO) nanocolloids to disperse conductive carbon supports of hydrophobic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) before and after the loading of Pt nanocatalysts. The resulting GOCNT-Pt nanocomposites could present improved aqueous dispersion stability and Pt spatial distribution. Unexpectedly, they could show greatly enhanced peroxida...

The hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) contained polyurethane (PU) grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes (HDI-g-MWNTs) have been synthesized by simple blending method to fabricate thermal conductive nanocomposite. This method shows that HDI-g-MWNTs can improve the interfacial compatibility between HDI-g-MWNTs and matrix. The HDI base PU thermal conductive film (HDI-PU) showed enhanced dispersibil...

While several approaches have been developed for sorting metallic (m) or semiconducting (s) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), the length of SWCNTs is limited within a micrometer, which restricts excellent electrical performances of SWCNTs for macro-scale applications. Here, we demonstrate a simple sorting method of centimetre-long aligned m- and s-SWCNTs. Ni particles were selectively an...

Abstract In the present paper, the stiffening effect of carbon nanotubes is quantitatively investigated by micromechanics methods. The Mori-Tanaka effective-field method is employed to calculate the effective elastic moduli of composites with aligned or randomly oriented straight nanotubes. In addition, the epoxy resin is modified experimentally by adding SWCNT with different ratio i.e 0, 0.1, ...

Optimal deposition conditions to synthesize highly conductive and transparent CuCrO2 films out of stoichiometry Cu2O + nanocomposite by AA-MOCVD at a low temperature atmospheric pressure.

We present single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) incorporated liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) nanocomposites that demonstrate strong, reversible photoactuation. The matrix nematic LCEmaterial possesses reversible thermal deformation, while SWCNTs perform photothermal energy conversion and local heat dissipation upon irradiation. The resultant SWCNT–LCE nanocomposites exhibit effective photoactuati...

In this article, thermo-elastic-behavior of a thick-walled cylinder made from a polystyrene nanocomposite reinforced with functionally graded (FG) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was carried out in radial direction while subjected to a steady state thermal field. The SWCNTs were assumed aligned, straight with infinite length and a uniform layout. Two types of variations in the volume fr...
