Synthesis of polynobornene on catalyst functionalized-MWCNTs with a “grafting from” approach: The influence of the catalyst-MWCNT spacing

Longo P., Costabile C., Grisi F., Latorraca N., Ciambelli P., Sarno M., Leone C., Sannino D., University of Salerno, IT

The synthesis of “homogeneuos” polymeric composites containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT), that could effectively combine the properties of carbon nanotubes with the solubility and processability of polymers, has emerged as one of the most important [...]

Influence of MWNT on the physical properties of polyethylene nanocomposites

Ciambelli P., Sarno M., Neitzert H.C., Nobile M.R., Somma E., Valentino O., University of Salerno, IT

Physical properties of a series of multi-walled carbon nanotube-high density polyethylene (MWNT-HDPE) composites, prepared by melt mixing in a micro-twin screw extruder, were investigated. The effect of MWNT concentration (0.5-7 wt%) and nanotube surface treatment [...]

Tribological properties of carbon nanotubes as lubricant additives

Abate F., Senatore A., D’Agostino V., Leone C., Sarno M., Ciambelli P., University of Salerno, IT

Tribological performances of innovative lubricant additives based on IF-WS2 and other transition metal dichalcogenides like MoS2 nanoparticles have been widely investigated in recent years. The boundary lubrication regime is the main target for the benefits [...]

ROMP of norbornene catalysed by Grubbs functionalized carbon nanotubes

Longo P., Costabile C., Grisi F., Siniscalchi G., Ciambelli P., Sarno M., Leone C., Sannino D., University of Salerno, IT

Recently, carbon nanotubes have attracted attention for their unique structural and electronic properties, which position them as one of the leading materials for a wide array of potential nanotechnological applications. The synthesis of homogeneuos polymeric [...]

Synthesis of monodispersed MFe2O4 (M=Fe, Co, Ni) ferrite nanoparticles: effect of reaction temperature on particle size

Altavilla C., Leone C., Sannino D., Sarno M., Ciambelli P., University of Salerno, IT

The possibility of preparing monodispersed transition metal-oxides nanoparticles covered by functionalized long chain organic molecules, in the sub size range of 20 nm, has recently open an entire field of research. In fact, inorganic core [...]

Multiwalled carbon nanotube films as temperature nano-sensors

Di Bartolomeo A., Giubileo F., Sarno M., Altavilla C., Sannino D., Iemmo L., Mancusi D., Bobba F., Cucolo A.M., Ciambelli P., University of Salerno, IT

The understanding of the temperature dependence of the electric resistance of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a very important feature for the potential utilization as sensing element in temperature nano-sensors. The sensitivity and the time response [...]
