Enhancement of thermal stability of multiwalled carbon nanotubes via different silanization routes

Injection‐molded parts of polypropylene/multi‐wall carbon nanotubes composites with an electrically conductive tridimensional network

“…In addition, the residual catalyst content at 800 C is extremely low, below 0.3 wt%. These results are in accordance with other previous studies on the thermal stability of MWCNTs in their pristine form [18] and [40]. Morphological studies were carried out on the polymer composites in order to investigate the degree of dispersion of the MWCNTs in the injection molded parts.…”

Preparation and characterization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes/chitosan nanocomposite and its application for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution

“…Carbon nanotubes have a wide range of length scales and are capable of being oxidized and forming carboxylic groups on their surfaces [2]. Different diameters and chiralities of carbon nanotubes give rise to various chemical, physical and mechanical properties [3][4][5]. These characteristics allow applications of CNTs in many fields such as photocatalysis [6], medicine [7], nanoscale electronics [8], hydrogen storage [9,10], mechanical systems [11], SEM probes [12] and electron field emission tips [13].…”

Carbon nanotube–chitosan composite electrodes for electrochemical removal of Cu(II) ions

“…Carbon nanotube (CNT) has been proved to be a competitive and promising electrode material for adsorption or electrosorption due to its large surface area, high mechanical strength, remarkable electrical conductivity and high stability [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. However, the hydrophobicity of CNT limits its application in electrosorption.…”
