Characterization of silver-coated carbon nanotubes dispersed in a specifically formulated dispersant – NanoSperse AQ®

Chaudhari A.A., Singh S.R., Pillai S.R., Alabama State University, US

Silver-coated carbon nanotubes (AgCNTs) are well documented for their antibacterial properties. However, aqueous dispersions of AgCNTs could be less effective against bacteria due to their tendency to agglomerate when re-suspended in water. In this study [...]

Fabrication of polymer nanocomposites based on CNTs in PDMS matrix

Imbaby M., Gottschalk K., Ulm University, DE

This research presents a new approach to fabricate polymer/carbon nanotubes (CNT) nanocomposites. Multiwall carbon nanotubes with 6-9 nm diameter and 1.5 um length is used. Polydimethysolixane (PDMS), Acetone, and Polyethylene oxide (PEO) are used as [...]
