Because of their considerable science and technical interest, nanodiamonds (3–5 nm) are
often used as a model to study the phase transformation between graphite and diamond …

Abstract Carbon nano-onions (CNOs)-reinforced nanocomposites are one of the most
attractive materials due to their excellent performance in many fields of applications. This …

The investigation of carbon allotropes such as graphite, diamond, fullerenes, nanotubes and
carbon onions and mechanisms that underlie their mutual phase transformation is a long …

Modern materials science increasingly advances via a knowledge‐based development
rather than a trial‐and‐error procedure. Gathering large amounts of data and getting deep …

Combustion of heavy fuel oil (HFO) involves the complete combustion of volatile
components and the emission of pollutants and solid particles. In most cases, solid particles …

In this study, we report the production of a mesoporous silica/hydroxyapatite‐based
nanocomposite containing copper (Cu) functionalized with methacrylic acid (MAA), a pH …

The van der Waals cohesive forces acting at a single contact between two carbon
nanotubes were experimentally investigated. An isolated nanotube was brought in contact …

Nonlocal elasticity theory was developed in order to describe some phenomena that cannot
properly be described by the classical local elasticity theory. The formalism incorporates the …

The basic building block of many carbon nanostructures like fullerenes, carbon onions or
nanotubes is the truly two-dimensional material graphene. Commercial finite element codes …

We have investigated, using dispersion corrected DFT methods, the structure and the
spectroscopic properties of carbon buckyonions C60@ C180 and C60@ C240. C60, C180 …
