Carbon nanotubes focus the attention of many scientists because of their huge potential of industrial applications, but there is a paucity of information on the toxicological properties of this material. The aim of this experimental study was to characterize the biological reactivity of purified multi-wall carbon nanotubes in the rat lung and in vitro. Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CNT) or groun...

palladium nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (pd/mwcnts) have been synthesized using a modified polyol reduction method and its performance in methanol oxidation reactions has evaluated. the morphology of palladium on mwcnts was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). the catalytic performance of synthesized catalyst ...

background and purpose: textile effluents are very difficult to treat satisfactorily due to high variations in their compositions. strong color is one of the main characteristics of textile effluent and, if not eliminated, it can cause serious problems to the environment. in the present study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) were used as an adsorbent for the removal of reactive red-120 (...

Composites consisting of different quantities of carbon nanotubes and nanofibrils in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix have been prepared using a polymer extrusion technique. The nanotubes or nanofibrils were first dispersed over the polymer matrix particles using a dry powder mixing method. The final composite specimens contained well-dispersed and aligned nanofibrils and nanotubes. Th...

Carbon nanotubes provide a new class of molecular wires that display new and exciting mesoscopic transport properties. We provide a detailed theoretical description for transport in multi-wall nanotubes, where both disorder and strong interactions are important. The interplay of both aspects leads to a particularly effective intrinsic Coulomb blockade for tunneling. The relation to recent exper...

Here we are concerned with the Darcy-Forchheimer three-dimensional flow of carbon nanotubes in a rotating frame. Flow is generated by stretching of the surface. Xue model is adopted for nanofluid transport mechanism. Results for single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi wall carbon nanotubes are achieved and compared. Flow saturating porous space obeys Darcy-Forchheimer expression. Bounda...

a sensor, based on multi-wall carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (mwcnt/gce), was developed for determination of fenitrothion. determining the surface area of mwcnt/gce showed that this surface is three times more active than that of a glassy carbon electrode. the experimental parameters, such as the amount of mwcnts, ph of the fenitrothion solution, preconcentration potential an...

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,...
