We have developed a novel method of manufacturing and assembling process termed nano-pelleting [1-2], which refers to large-scale handling and long-range order assembly of individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The nano-pelleting concept overcomes the limitation of very small-scale order by embedding carbon nanotubes into micro-scale pellets. This technique includes vertically growing single stran...

The transition to low-carbon emitting technologies provokes an increasing demand in energy conversion and storage systems such as fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, consequently, the need for their raw materials. use of new chemistries from earth-abundant precursors instead scarce, toxic, nondegradable components existing current must be a priority future years. Cellulose is most abundant ...

cellulose nanocrystal (cnc) is a type of nanomaterial which is produced by partial hydrolysis of cellulose and elimination of its amorphous regions. cnc has several advantages such biodegradability and safety toward human health. in this study, cnc was produced from cotton linters and methods such transmission electron microscopy which were used for confirmation of nanoscale size production of ...

In this paper, a wood coating based on waterborne polyurethane (WPU)/nano-cellulose crystalline (CNC)/Magnesium hydroxide (MH) was prepared. Efficient dispersion of MH in WPU presence 5 wt% CNCs observed by biological microscope leading to material with improved esthetic, thermal and fire-retardant properties mechanical performance. By thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG) comparison WPU, the max...

Introduction: At least some meteoritic nano-diamonds are likely of presolar origin because of their association with anomalous Xe-HL and Te isotopic components indicative of a supernova (SN) origin [1,2]. But the abundance of Xe is such that only ~1 in 10 6 nano-diamonds contains a Xe atom, and the bulk 13 C/ 12 C composition of nano-diamond acid residues is chondritic (solar) [3]. Therefore, i...

X-linked Opitz syndrome (XLOS), caused by mutation in the MID1 gene, is a midline malformation syndrome with obvious craniofacial abnormalities. Because cranial neural crest cells (CNC) play a pivotal role in cranial morphogenesis, we examined the spatio-temporal expression of cMid1 in chick embryos and investigated if alterations in Mid1 protein function, specifically the ability of Mid1 to ne...

Binary nano-composites of Pt and nano-carbon (NC) and Pt and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) have been prepared with varied compositions ranging between 20 and 80wt% Pt and investigated them as electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation. The study shows that with the increase in wt% of NC, the apparent electro-catalytic activity of the composite catalyst increases initially, reaches maximum at...

A modified cathodic arc technique has been used to deposit carbon nitride thin films directly on n Si substrates. Transmission Electron Microscopy showed that clusters of fullerene-like nanoparticles are embedded in the deposited material. Field emission in vacuum from as-grown films starts at an electric field strength of 3.8 V/μm. When the films were etched in an HF:NH4F solution for ten minu...

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...

Due to their unique physicochemical properties, carbon nanochips (CNCs) have been used for studies of the direct electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties of oxidoreductase. In this report, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with CNCs, and glucose oxidase (GOx) was immobilized on the modified electrode surface. Chitosan (CS) was employed to fix the GOx/CNCs tightly to the surfac...
