The allotropes of carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, graphene) are the most unique
and promising substances of the last decade. Due to their nanoscale diameter and high …

Carbon nanotubes have long been recognized as the stiffest and strongest man-made
material known to date. In addition, their high electrical conductivity has roused interest in …

Carbon-based nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have become the most
promising materials in biomedical, electronic and aerospace applications. When added to …

The superlative mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes make them the filler material of
choice for composite reinforcement. In this paper we review the progress to date in the field …

Since the discovery of buckminsterfullerene over 30 years ago, sp2-hybridised carbon
nanomaterials (including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene) have stimulated new …

The preparation of effective dispersions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) presents a major
impediment to the extension and utilization of CNTs. CNTs intrinsically tend to bundle and/or …

The unidirectional growth of materials to form nanowires or nanotubes has attracted
enormous interest in recent years. Within the different classes of tubes made of organic or …

Polymer/carbon nanotube (CNT) composites are expected to have good processability
characteristics of the polymer and excellent functional properties of the CNTs. The critical …

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 …

Owing to their unique mechanical properties, carbon nanotubes are considered to be ideal
candidates for polymer reinforcement. However, a large amount of work must be done in …
