The reinforcement effect of carbon nanotubes in the copolyester was investigated experimentally using different approaches based on dynamic mechanical analysis, theology and dielectric analysis. The nanocomposites show a mechanical reinforcement effect with significant increase in the stiffness especially in the rubbery regime with increasing nanotube content. An increase in T-g and a decrease in damping are seen, which are derived from the presence of a percolating superstructure of the filler. Rheological experiments show an increase in storage modulus up to four orders of magnitude. Viscolelastic characterization shows that the percolation threshold is at 3 wt% of nanotubes. Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy confirms the presence of this percolating structure. We conclude that the responses of both rheological and electrical properties are different, although both are related to the formation of a percolating network superstructure of the filler.

Surface functionalization containing more than 30 wt% of oxygen has been achieved, resulting into solubility of 2-5 mg/mL. Further covalent functionalization of such soluble SWNTs provides a remarkable degree of aniline functionalization through amidation, where the formation of polyaniline has been avoided. Functionalization of SWNTs is confirmed by techniques like electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, Raman spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. Electrochemical analysis suggests an enhanced double layer capacitance (similar to 110 F/g) of nanotubes after microwave treatment. Aniline functionalization of SWNTs shows possible variations on the nanotube topography with concomitant formation of a dynamic polymer layer on the nanotube surface. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

The polymer-nanoparticles/nanocomposites have been the exponentially growing field of research for developing the materials in last few decades and have been mainly focusing on the structure-property relationships and their development. Since the polymer-nanocomposites have been the staple of modern polymer industry, their durability under various environmental conditions and degradability after their service life are also essential fields of research. Thus, this article is intended to review the status of worldwide research in this aspect. Among various nanoparticulates, clay minerals and carbon nanotubes are more often used in enhancing physical, mechanical and thermal properties of polymers. In very few systems, the nano particulates have been incorporated into polymer as `nano-additives' for both purposes: degradation and stabilization of polymers. The degradation and durability of polymers is reviewed in the presence of nanoparticles/nanocomposites under different environmental conditions. Nanoparticle-induced biodegradation of polymers is also discussed. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Thin films of CNTs were grown on Fe-Mo/Al(2)O(3)-coated silicon wafer by thermal decomposition of methane at different temperatures ranging from 800 to 1000A degrees C. The electron microscopic investigations, SEM as well as HRTEM, of the as-grown CNT thin films revealed the growth of uniform multi-walled CNTs in abundance. The intensity ratio of D-band to G-band and FWHM of G-band through Raman measurements clearly indicated the dependency of structural defects and crystallinity of CNTs in thin films on the catalyst formulation and CVD growth temperature. The results suggest that thin films of multi-walled CNTs with negligible amount of defects in the nanotube structure and very high crystallinity can be obtained by thermal CVD process at 925A degrees C.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.561</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rana, Sravendra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cho, Jae Whan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, Indresh</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Synthesis and characterization of polyurethane-grafted single-walled carbon nanotubes via click chemistry</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon nanotubes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Click chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">dispersion</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">polyurethane</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SEP</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AMER SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHERS</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26650 THE OLD RD, STE 208, VALENCIA, CA 91381-0751 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5700-5707</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Polyurethane (PU)-grafted carbon nanotubes were synthesized by the coupling of alkyne moiety decorated single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with azide moiety containing PU using Cu(I) catalyzed Huisgen [3 + 2] cycloaddition click chemistry. The azide moiety containing poly(E-caprolactone)diol was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization and further used for PU synthesis. Alkyne-functionalizion of SWCNT was completed by the reaction of p-aminophenyl propargyl ether with SWCNT using a solvent free diazotization procedure. Nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, and Raman spectroscopic measurements confirmed the functionalization of SWCNT. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images showed an excellent dispersion of SWCNTs, and specially debundling of SWCNTs could be observed due to polymer assisted dispersion.

More specifically, a reduction in standard deviation in the molecular weight calibration plots by 55% in the case of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and by 34% in the case of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) compared with that of pristine polyacrylamide gels was achieved after incorporating an insignificant amount of functionalized CNTs into the gel matrix. A mechanism based on a more uniform pore size distribution in CNT modified polyacrylamide gel matrix is proposed. Furthermore, the impact of SWCNTs and MWCNTs on the mobility of proteins in different molecular weight regimes at a given acrylamide concentration offers a tunable gel matrix in terms of the selection of molecular weight ranges of proteins. The robustness and excellent reproducibility of the CNT-PAGE protocol are expected to have a significant impact on the molecular weight determination of newly isolated proteins.

In the present work, highly porous cobalt-based ZIFs are strung along the highly conducive CNT backbone by using a simple one-pot technique at room temperature, which is then utilized to derive a porous, corrosion-resistant, Co nanoparticle-embedded electrocatalyst. Herein, for the first time, the single cell performance of the Co-ZIF-67-derived electrocatalyst has been evaluated by fabricating membrane electrode assemblies of alkaline exchange membrane fuel cell (AEMFC) and zinc-air battery (ZAB) systems. A maximum power density of 296 mW/cm(2) (vs. 317 mW/cm(2) for 40 wt.% Pt/C) and 60 mW/cm(2) (vs. 64 mW/cm(2) for 40 wt.% Pt/C) in the single cells of ZAB and AEMFC systems, respectively, establishes the practical proficiency of the homemade electrocatalyst for cathode applications during realistic system-level validations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.446</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sinha, B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Late, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jejurikar, S.M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrananocrystalline diamond decoration on to the single wall carbon nano tubes</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Applied Surface Science</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon nanotubes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Composite Coating</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electron microscopy (STEM</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanostructures</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TEM and SEM)</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> 418</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">401-405</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We have demonstrated the decoration of the ultrananocrystalline diamonds on single walled carbon nanotubes using a hot filament assisted chemical vapor deposition. Study reveals the critical influence of the filament to substrate distance on the formation of ultrananocrystalline diamonds on to the single walled carbon nanotubes. It is also observed that etching of carbon nanotubes, due to the presence of unavoidable atomic hydrogen throughout the chemical vapor deposition processes, can be significantly reduced by adjusting the filament to substrate distance. Morphological and structural investigations performed using high resolution transmission electron microscope suggests the growth of ultrananocrystalline diamond is subsequent to the formation of crystalline sp2 carbon layer on the nanotube wall, enabling us to suggest a growth model.

These CHCs have built-in synthesis related Fe nanoparticles (NPs). This engineered nano-structure exhibits excellent field emission properties such as one of the ultra-low turn-on field (0.64V mu m(-1) at 10 mu A cm(-2)), low threshold field (0.74V mu m(-1) at 100 mu A cm(-2)), very high current density (15.49 mA cm(-2) at 1.32V mu m(-1)) which is nearly double the current density obtained in our previous study. High field enhancement factor (0.72. x. 10(4)) with highly stable emission current at 100 mu A was observed for more than 3 hrs at the base pressure of similar to 1. x. 10(-8) mbar. This study suggests an approach to enhance the current density using the proposed innovative nanostructure and forms the basic theme of this communication. Highly efficient and stable field emissions observed are attributed to the geometry of cylinder and the production of the high density of sharp protrusions within the graphene sheets which enhance the local electric field and dramatically enhance field emission. This innovative cylindrical geometry associated with graphene assisted on Fe bearing aligned CNTs along with the periphery of the bulk cylinder provides an easy injection of electrons from the conduction band of CHCs into the vacuum in the presence of an external electric field. The tunability of field emission properties of these CHCs can be easily achieved by tailoring their diameter (10 and 20 mm) and different concentrations of the precursor. This new approach of the graphene assisted cylindrical geometry-based field emitter source provides enormous prospects and demand for next-generation high resolutions display devices.&lt;/p&gt;
