Synergistic effect of functionalized graphene oxide and carbon nanotube hybrids on mechanical properties of epoxy composites

“…64,[67][68][69] In this paper, the fabrication process including the high speed mechanical stirring and sonication treatment inevitably leads to the shorten of CNTs. 70,71 According to previous literatures, the CNTs shorter than l c should be pulled out of polymer matrix during composite fracture; otherwise, they tend to be fracture. 64 Therefore, it is necessary to nd l c in order to estimate the inuence of shorten of CNTs in this work on mechanical properties and toughening mechanisms.…”

Determination of the length of single-walled carbon nanotubes by scanning electron microscopy

“…The present methodology has been recently employed in a comparative study of shortening and cutting strategies of single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes [ 22 ].…”

“…Hence, the results obtained can be easily translated to samples of MWCNTs. As mentioned, SEM analysis of length distribution has been recently employed on a comparative study of shortening and cutting strategies for both SWCNTs and MWCNTs [ 22 ]. CNTs from different sources (chemical vapor deposition and arc-discharge) were employed in this study.…”

Neutron-irradiated antibody-functionalised carbon nanocapsules for targeted cancer radiotherapy

“…As-received MWCNTs were initially treated with a mixture of sulphuric/nitric acids followed by steam, using a previously reported protocol [13]. This treatment resulted in purified samples of openended short MWCNTs.…”
