“…The study of nanotubes has advanced tremendously in a relatively short time since its initial discovery in 1991 by Iijima [1]. The properties of these nanostructures are so unique and enhanced that it is finding applications in various spheres of life -span from bio-medical, to optical, to outer space [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Carbon nanotubes were synthesized by thermal arc plasma process after optimization of the synthesis parameters. These samples were then analysed by scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM and TEM), in order to establish the morphology of the nanostructures. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electron diffraction studies were also carried out before using the sample for the composite material preparation. Composites of epoxy resin with curing agent as well as a mixture of graphite and carbon nanotubes were prepared with varying proportions of the mixture. The electrical resistivity of the material was studied under varying pressure and voltage conditions. Preliminary results of these studies present interesting features which are reported here

“…In particular, carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) have attracted academic and industrial interest for their unique physico-chemical properties [ 2 ] and for the possibility of their fine-tuning through chemical derivatization [ 3 , 4 ]. Furthermore, interest in CNMs has been compounded by the wide breadth of potential uses, which encompass the diverse fields of energy [ 5 , 6 , 7 ], catalysis [ 8 , 9 , 10 ], environmental remediation [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ], automotive and aerospace transport [ 15 , 16 , 17 ], tissue engineering [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], targeted drug delivery [ 23 , 24 , 25 ], theranostics [ 26 , 27 , 28 ], sensing [ 29 , 30 , 31 ], imaging [ 32 , 33 , 34 ], and flexible electronics [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. A prominent industrial application of carbon nanostructures is their use in the automotive industry—when used as a nanoadditive in tyre manufacture, the resulting nanocomposite exhibits significantly increased durability [ 38 ].…”

Supramolecular Hydrogels from a Tripeptide and Carbon Nano-Onions for Biological Applications

et al. 2022

Nanocomposite hydrogels have attracted researchers’ attention in recent years to achieve superior performances in a variety of materials applications. In this work, we describe the outcome of three different strategies to combine a self-assembling tripeptide and carbon nano-onions (CNOs), through covalent and non-covalent approaches, into supramolecular and nanostructured hydrogels. Importantly, the tripeptide coated the nano-onions and extended their aqueous dispersions’ stability by several hours. Furthermore, CNOs could be loaded in the tripeptide hydrogels at the highest level ever reported for nanocarbons, indicating high compatibility between the components. The materials were formed in phosphate-buffered solutions, thus paving the way for biological applications, and were characterized by several spectroscopic, microscopic, thermogravimetric, and rheological techniques. In vitro experiments demonstrated excellent cytocompatibility.
