Tribological behavior of carbon nanotube/aluminosilicate composites prepared through TEOS/boehmite catalyst sol–gel and CVD process

Synthesis and characterization of MWCNTs/Co1−Zn Fe2O4 magnetic nanocomposites and their use in hydrogels

“…Although still in a very early stage of research, the dispersion of metal oxides onto CNTs, forming hybrid materials, could show exceptional performance in many applications. For example, anode materials of lithium-ion batteries (SnO 2 /MWCNTs nanocomposites) [6], electrode and electrolyte materials of supercapacitors and other electrochemical energy storage/conversion devices (MnO 2 /CNTs and ZnO/CNTs nanocomposites) [7,8], optical limiting application (MWCNTs/SiO 2 bulk materials) [9], ceramic products with good mechanical and tribological properties (CNT(Ni)-Al 2 O 3 and CNT/aluminosilicate composites) [10,11], etc.…”

Friction and Wear Behaviors of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Silica and Alumina Matrix Composites Fabricated by Catalyst Sol-Gel and CVD Process

“…After then the catalyst powder was chemically reduced at 550 C with a H 2 /N 2 (10/100 sccm) atmosphere for 2 hours. Two different CVD growing/calcining processes 26) were designed speci cally to fabricate given CNT composite powders. For the one-step reaction (continuous) process, the catalyst powder was nally calcined at 750 C (or 1300 C) for 30 min by introducing a mixture of C 2 H 2 /N 2 into the reactor at ow ratio of 30/70 sccm.…”

“…The performances of these composites in present study and Ref. 26) were also compared and investigated.…”

“…For sol-gel methods, boehmite (AlOOH) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS, Si(OC 2 H 5 ) 4 ) are often used as precursors for alumina and silica, respectively. In authors part work 26) , Fe(NO 3 ) 3 /TEOS/boehmite catalyst sol-gel had been adopted to fabricate CNT/aluminosilicate powders through different CVD growing/calcining processes. In the past study, we used one catalyst sol-gel and focused on studying the effect of different CVD growing/ calcining processes on products.…”

Effect of catalyst calcination temperature on the synthesis of MWCNT–alumina hybrid compound using methane decomposition method

“…CNT on its own possesses several processing problems especially when uniform mixing is required in preparing composite material [8]. Studies had shown that CNT can be combined with other materials such as silica [14,15], chitosan [16][17][18][19], iron oxide [20,21], aluminasilicate [22], titania [23], as well as alumina [7,8,24]. However, alumina is known to have high temperature resistance, and possesses high hardness.…”
