The effect of solvent choice on the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-polymer composites
(2007)Dispersions of single walled nanotubes in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone have been exposed to water and variations in storage temperature. The subsequent degradation of dispersion quality has been monitored using sedimentation, ... -
Functionalization of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes with Optically Switchable Spiropyrans
(2010)The design, synthesis and complete characterization of a smart material composed of single-walled nanotubes functionalized with spiropyran-based photo switchable molecules are reported. The chemical complexity of the system ... -
The preparation of hybrid films of carbon nanotubes and nanographite/graphene with excellent mechanical and electrical properties
(2010)We have prepared mixed dispersions of single walled nanotubes and nano-graphite / graphene in the solvent N-methyl pyrrolidone. This allows the deposition of hybrid films by vacuum filtration. Scanning electron microscopy ... -
Relationship between material properties and transparent heater performance for both bulk-like and percolative nanostructured networks
(2014)Transparent heaters are important for many applications and in the future are likely to be fabricated from thin, conducting, nanostructured networks. However, the electrical properties of such networks are almost always ... -
Strain-modified RKKY interaction in carbon nanotubes
(2015)For low-dimensional metallic structures, such as nanotubes, the exchange coupling between localized magnetic dopants is predicted to decay slowly with separation. The long-range character of this interaction plays a ... -
Synthesis, electrical and magnetotransport properties of polypyrrole-MWCNT nanocomposite
(2012)The present work describes the preparation of nanocomposites in which the multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) have been mixed with conducting polypyrrole (PPy) via an in situ chemical oxidative preparation method. To reveal ...
