Marilyn Monroe knew that “diamonds are a girl's best friend” but, in the meantime, many
chemists have realized that they are also extremely attractive objects in contemporary …

By combining different allotropic forms of carbon at the nanoscale it is possible to fabricate
tailor made surfaces with unique properties. These novel materials have shown high …

We reported an efficient method to prepare nylon-6−(PA6−) graphene (NG) composites by in
situ polymerization of caprolactam in the presence of graphene oxide (GO). During the …

In this work Raman spectroscopy was used for extensive characterization of multiwall
carbon nanotube (MWNTs) and of MWCNTs/rubber composites. We have measured the …

The surface, interfacial and dispersion properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and the
mechanical properties of the CNT/epoxy composites affected by CNT functionalization are …

Graphene has proved its significant role as a reinforcement material in improving the
strength of polymers as well as metal matrix composites due to its excellent mechanical …

A simple approach to decorate carbon nanotube (CNT) with silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs)
was developed to enhance the electrical conductivity of CNT. CNTs were functionalized …

This review is focused on molecular momentum transport at fluid-solid interfaces mainly
related to microfluidics and nanofluidics in micro-/nano-electro-mechanical systems …

Graphene is the strongest material ever studied and can be an efficient substitute for silicon.
This six-volume handbook focuses on fabrication methods, nanostructure and atomic …

Carbon nanotube (CNT) polymer-matrix composites exhibit promising properties as
structural materials for which appropriate constitutive models are sought, to predict their …
