Radio frequency plasma mediated dry functionalization of multiwall carbon nanotube

Role of nitrogen–oxygen plasma functionalization of carbon nanotubes in epoxy nanocomposites

“…C‐N bonds on the CNTs' surface after plasma treatment, as proven by XPS, may have been formed as a reaction presented in Eq . . However, as atomic and/or ionized nitrogen formation is not a favorable reaction in oxygen presence there is low reagent availability, which justifies the low presence of C‐N bonds.…”

“…In general, a better dispersion and a decrease in CNT agglomerates on the functionalized CNT nanocomposites were observed. Such behavior could be related to functional groups present on the CNTs' surface, which could prevent both the formation and the aggregation of those agglomerates, due to the presence of repulsive Van der Waals forces resulting from the presence of functional groups formed during the functionalization .…”

Selective Plasma Etching of Polyphenolic Composite in O2/Ar Plasma for Improvement of Material Tracking Properties

“…[23] However, some recent reports disclose that metastables are efficient enough to etch away relatively unstable residues from the surface of carbonaceous materials. [24,25] The effect of such metastable atoms is potentially pronounced especially at elevated surface temperature due to the lower chemical activation energy barrier of the polymer molecules toward oxygen. Further, as reviewed by Schweitzer and Schmidt, one of the major quenching mechanism of the excited singlet metastable oxygen species include chemical bonding with the molecules in the medium.…”

Facile preparation of Bi2MoO6/multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite for enhancing photocatalytic performance

“…The strong angles at 2θ=10.90˚,23.46˚, 28.20˚, 32.65˚, 34.58˚, 36.01˚, 39.57˚, 46.95˚, 55.58˚, 56.14˚, 58.38˚ and 68.04˚, can be assigned to (020), (111), (131), (200), (220), (151), (240), (202), (331), (191), (262) and (004) crystal planes of pure Bi 2 MoO 6 and the lines match well with the value reported by JCPDS (84-0787). The broad peak at 26.36˚ is attributed to the characteristic peak of MWCNTs[15].…”
