Surface oxidation and effect of electric field on dispersion and colloids stability of multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Fabrication and characterization of self-healing microcapsules containing bituminous rejuvenator by a nano-inorganic/organic hybrid method

“…Relative researches indicated that the thermal stability, mechanical property and chemical resistance of microcapsules could be regulated by the addition of inorganic particles such as nano-clays, nano-SiO 2 , nano-CaCO 3 , carbon nano-tubes, nano-Al 2 O 3 [17][18][19][20]. All these microcapsules had a nano-composite shell structure.…”

Fabrication of a superhydrophobic surface via spraying with polystyrene and multi-walled carbon nanotubes

“…The G band appears when the sp 2 C C bond experiences stretching vibrations, and the Raman shift of the G band is 1500-1600 cm −1 [34]. In addition, the intensity ratio of the D-G band (I D /I G ) can be used as proof of disruption of the aromatic -electron system of MWCNTs [33][34][35][36]. As shown in Fig.…”

“…8, Raman spectroscopy observation was performed. Raman spectroscopy is an effective tool for probing the structural characteristics of carbonbased materials, providing essential information for evaluating the modification of MWCNTs [33]. In Fig.…”

Carbon Nanotubes in Liquid Crystals: Fundamental Properties and Applications

“…Because of high hydrophobicity of CNT surface, water is a bad solvent for CNTs. Colloid stability of aqueous suspensions may be improved by oxidation or functionalization of CNTs [55][56][57] and introduction of different surfactants [51][52][53][58][59][60][61] or polymers [62].…”
