A new one-step synthesis method for coating multi-walled carbon nanotubes with cuprous oxide nanoparticles

Rapid and low temperature spark plasma sintering synthesis of novel carbon nanotube reinforced titanium matrix composites

“…Since carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were firstly reported by Iijima in 1991 [1], they have been considered promising candidates for reinforcements in composite materials processing due to their remarkable mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties as well as their low densities and high aspect ratios [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Both theoretical and experimental results indicate that CNT have high strength (up to ~100 GPa), high modulus (~1 TPa), large aspect ratios (~1000), and light weight (~2 g/cm 3 ) [11][12][13][14][15].…”

Controlling the size and size distribution of magnetite nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes

“…Many efforts have been devoted to the synthesis of nanocomposites using CNTs due to their synergistic and hybrid properties as components, which have various applications such as reinforcement fibers, novel catalysts and potential electronic nanodevices [10][11][12][13][14]. Dispersing particles on the sidewalls of CNTs can make solid nanoparticles achieving a high dispersion degree.…”

Carbon nanotube modified Zn 0.83 Cd 0.17 S nanocomposite photocatalyst and its hydrogen production under visible-light

“…This means that the band gap was narrowing after modification by CNTs. Therefore, CNTs has influenced the position of the absorption edge and enhanced the visible-light response of the samples after hybridization although CNTs exhibits no absorption bands in the region between 300 and 800 nm [30].…”
