Reinforcement of Abrasion Resistance & Heat Buildup for Tire Tread filled with Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs)

Oh W.S., Choi W.J., Choi Y.H., Choi W.J., Choi Y.H., Park J., Lee Y-S, NANOHUB Co., Ltd, KR

A tire tread composites containing SBR/NR rubber blend and varying proportions of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/carbon black (CB) including a silane-coupling agent [Bis-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfane] have been investigated in order to reinforce abrasion resistance

The role of Stone-Wales defects in the mechanical behavior of a zig-zag SWNT

Talukdar K., Mitra A.K., National Institute Of Technology, IN

A (5,0) SWNT with aspect ratio of 10.87 is simulated considering two different potentials, viz. Brenner’s Bond Order potential and Tight Binding potential. At first the Young’s modulus, failure stress and the maximum strain value [...]

Mechanical and Thermal Stability of Carbon Nanotube Junctions

Shi S.Q., Liu W.C., Meng F.Y., The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, CN

Mechanical and thermal stability of carbon nanotube junctions was studied using molecular dynamics simulation method. Junctions made from armchair and zigzag thin carbon nanotubes were first formed by thermal welding process, then tested under 1D [...]

Fabrication Processes and Multi-functional Properties of Carbon Nanotube/Inorganic Nanocomposites

Hong S.H., Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, KR

Molecular level mixing process was developed for the fabrication of homogeneous carbon nanotube(CNT)/Inorganic nanocomposites instead of the conventional powder mixing process in order to solve the agglomeration of CNTs and weak interfacial bonding between CNTs [...]

Modification of photoluminescence characteristics of single wall carbon nanotubes by ZnS intercalation

Paul R., Kumbhakar P., Mitra A.K., National Institute Of Technology, IN

Commercially available SWNT of >95% purity was purified by high temperature oxidation and acid treatment. By a simple chemical wet process, SWNT samples were intercalated with as-prepared ZnS nanoparticles. The dried samples were dispersed in [...]

Electron Hopping Process in SWCNT-Mediated Redox Reaction: An Evidence Observed by DFT Theory

Nongnual T., Choomwattana S., Nokbin S., Khongpracha P., Limtrakul J., Laboratory for Computational and Applied Chemistry, Physical Chemistry Division, TH

The electron hopping in SWCNT-mediated redox reaction of anthraquinonnyl (AQH2-) and 4-arylhydroxyl amine (4AHA-) groups is systematically studied by DFT for the first time. The spin-unrestricted DFT calculations were performed with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) [...]
