Properties of Linear Low Density Polyethylene Reinforced with Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes by Cryogenic Ball-Milling

Narh K.A., Terife G., New Jersey Institute of Technology, US

The combination of high aspect ratio, small size, very low density, and more importantly, excellent physical properties, such as extremely high mechanical strength and stiffness, high electrical and thermal conductivity, make carbon nanotubes (CNTs) perfect [...]

Novel supported catalytic materials based on multiwalls carbon nanotubes

Koltypin Y., Savilov S.V., Gedanken A., Landau M.V., Bar-Ilan University, IL

We present a method that allows proper control of the nanoscale curvature of the external surface in multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and shown its effect on the properties of Ni/MWCNT catalyst. After removal of residual [...]

Poly(butyl terephthalate)/oxytetramethylene + oxidized carbon nanotubes hybrids: mechanical and tribological behavior

Brostow W., Broza G., Datashvili T., Kopyniecka A., TUHH, DE

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been used for providing mechanical reinforcement to polymers [1, 2] – as have been other approaches. Much less attention than to mechanics has been paid to improvement of tribological properties of [...]

Fabrication and Testing of Three-Dimensionally Reinforced Carbon Nanotube Based Laminated Nanocomposites

Askari D., Ghasemi-Nejhad M.N., The University of Texas at Brownsville, US

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be used for the reinforcement of polymers to create novel nanotube based nanocomposites with tunable properties and multifunctional behaviors. Chemical vapor deposition technique is employed to grow vertically aligned high density [...]

Improved Nanoreinforced Composite Material Bonds with Potential Sensing Capabilities

Starikov D., Price A., Glenn T., Attia F., Fischer M., Bokadoum M., Bensaoula A., Integrated Micro Sensors Inc., US

Dramatic increase in the bond strength of composite/adhesive interfaces of nano reinforced composite material joints and structures has been achieved using laser-assisted fabrication of Micro Column Arrays (MCA) on the surface of the two materials [...]

Introduction to Raman Spectroscopy as a Characterization Tool for Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene, and other Carbon Nanostructures

Wall M., Hodkiewicz J., Thermo Fisher Scientific, US

While there have been many publications produced in which Raman spectroscopy has been used to characterize various aspects of carbon nanostructures, there have been few works published which provide an overview of what the technique [...]

The Method of Instant Amplification of the MCG&MEG Signals

Sklyar R., Independent researcher, UA

Simultaneous amplification of the piking up MCG&MEG neurosignals by an on-site magnetic flow has been implemented. Matrix of the sensing micro-nanocoils are distributed under the heart or brain surface with temperature of the body. Magnetic [...]
