In the present work we first report on a successful incorporation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) into silica matrix prepared using an inorganic sol -gel method. Through this route nonaqueous solvents are avoided and the stability of the carbon nanotubes suspensions is not affected. SWCNTs produced by Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition (CCVD) were dispersed in deionized water using an amphilic surfactant. As a precursor for the silica matrix an inexpensive silicic acid was used. By this route SWCNTs/silica composites were produced in the form of films and pellets. Microhardness measurements and electron microscopy suggest an important interaction between SWCNTs and the silica matrix what is important from the application point of view.
Esse artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma método para construção de ontologia de pictogramas para sistemas de Comunicação Alternativa como uma forma de implementar uma busca por pictogramas utilizando contextos semânticos. Será relatado como a ontologia de pictogramas foi construída e seus resultados e, por fim, serão elencados seus usos futuros em sistemas de Comunicação Alternativa para construção de pranchas de comunicação. A representação de conhecimento com a ontologia de pictogramas compõe a busca semântica do sistema SCALA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
