“…Moreover, incubation of the biohybrids in ethanol (99%) for 10 and 30 min eliminates star‐like architectures. This can be explained by the greater dispersion of MWNTs in the presence of ethanol (SI, Figure S5) 22, 35…”

Functional multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are obtained by conjugation of MWNTs with tubulin. In vitro polymerization of tubulin–MWNT conjugates with excess free tubulin results in the microtubules encapsulating the MWNTs to yeild nanotube‐based biohybrids. The functional biohybrids are manipulated on kinesin‐coated surfaces. This strategy represents a new paradigm for the design of hierarchical supramolecular assemblies.

“…%SiC p (25 µm) composite using stir casting, and a preliminary processing method was utilized to unbundle the MWCNTs. To achieve this purpose, block copolymer Disperbyk-2150 was used as a dispersing agent to facilitate the dispersion of MWCNTs in ethanol (Bright et al, 2006;Li et al, 2004). Firstly, the block copolymer was dissolved in ethanol inside a beaker.…”

In the present study, the influences of different SiC addition, MWCNTs and various SiC particle sizes on the structural, mechanical and tribological properties of ZC71 alloys were studied. The results revealed that the proper amount/size of SiC particles with the addition of MWCNTs had a considerable effect on the microstructural alteration, and mechanical and tribological properties of the ZC71 alloy. The Vickers hardness values of the ZC71 alloy improved with the addition of MWCNT and SiC. The UTS (216 MPa) and El.% (6.95 %) were achieved in the ZC71-5%SiC(15µm)-0.5%MWCNT. The cast ZC71 alloy showed brittle fracture with some quasi-cleavage characterizations. However, by adding 5% SiC(15 µm) and 0.5% MWCNT, the fracture mode changed to ductile fracture. The wear results showed that the ZC71-5%SiC-0.5%MWCNT hybrid composite had the highest wear resistance with the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate. Examination on the worn surface of the ZC71-5%SiC-0.5%MWCNT hybrid composite showed mild abrasion as the governing wear mechanism.%2

“…The block copolymer-Disperbyk-2150 (BYK Chemie) -was chosen because it has already been shown to improve CNT dispersion in ethanol and epoxy resin (ER) [15,27]. The copolymer (0.01 g) was first dissolved in ethanol (0.5 g).…”

Single-wall carbon-nanotube (SWNT) reinforced elastomeric epoxy composites were fabricated by adding 0.03 wt% SWNTs and using 0.3 wt% block copolymer to obtain a good dispersion of carbon nanotubes in the epoxy matrix. The Young's modulus, fracture stress and strain of the SWNT/epoxy composites with block copolymer were increased by 141%, 127% and 43%, respectively, compared to the pure epoxy resin. Scanning electron microscopy observation revealed that using the block copolymer as a dispersing agent significantly improved both SWNT dispersion in the epoxy matrix and interfacial bonding/load transfer.
