In this study 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) interaction with carbon nanocone(NC) and nanocone Sheet (NCS) was evaluated by density functional theory. The calculated thermodynamic parameters including Gibbs free energy changes and Enthalpy alterations showed the interaction of TATB with the both nanostructures are exothermic, spontaneous, experimentally possible ...

Carbon nanostructures-including graphene, fullerenes, etc.-have found applications in a number of areas synergistically with a number of other materials. These multifunctional carbon nanostructures have recently attracted tremendous interest for energy storage applications due to their large aspect ratios, specific surface areas, and electrical conductivity. This succinct review aims to report ...

A novel aldehyde-bearing trithiocarbonate has been synthesized and reacted with carbon nanostructures with different dimensionalities (nanotubes, fullerenes, graphite). The decoration of these carbon nanostructures with trithiocarbonate moieties should provide a powerful tool for the design of advanced carbon nanofillers.

Oneand two-dimensional carbon nanostructures with sp hybridization of carbon atoms (single walled carbon nanotubes and graphene) are promising materials in future electronic and spintronics devices due to specific character of their electronic structure. In this paper we present a comparative study of graphene and single-wall carbon nanotubes by Raman spectro-microscopy in strong magnetic field...

Eric Clar’s qualitative ideas for benzenoids are described in application to various novel nanostructures: graphene, edges in graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanocones, and carbon nanotori. The specially singled out most highly aromatic species with Clar structures consisting entirely of aromatic sextets are proposed to be termed “claromatic”. Several such claromatic nanostructures are ident...

mg(oh)2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a rapid microwave reaction. the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfonate (sds as anionic surfactant) and cetyl tri-methyl ammonium bromide (ctab as cationic surfactant) on the morphology of magnesium hydroxide nanostructures was investigated. multi wall carbon nano tubes was organo-modified for better dispersion in cellulose acetate matrix. the influence of m...

DNA nanostructures are versatile templates for low cost, high resolution nanofabrication. However, due to the limited chemical stability of pure DNA structures, their applications in nanofabrication have long been limited to low temperature processes or solution phase reactions. Here, we demonstrate the use of DNA nanostructure as a template for high temperature, solid-state chemistries. We sho...

Unusual morphologies of silica, gold and carbon were obtained by using ZnO nanostructures as templates. Microdrums and pencil-shaped ZnO nanostructures are successfully replicated into silica, gold and carbon analogues which are otherwise difficult to make.
