Exploring thermodynamic and structural properties of carbon nanotube/thermoplastic polyurethane nanocomposites from atomistic molecular dynamics simulations

“…By applying MD simulations, it is possible to predict the behavior of polymer nanocomposites under various conditions. In the past decades, MD simulations have been utilized to examine the interfacial properties between CNTs and a range of polymers, such as epoxy, 17,18 nylon 6, 19 chitosan, 20 and polymethyl methacrylate, 21 with the majority of studies focusing on the interfacial binding energy. In recent past, some MD simulation research work of PU-based or TPU-based nanocomposites have also been carried out.…”

3D-bioimplants mimicking the structure and function of spine units for the treatment of spinal tuberculosis

“…12,13 Many literature reports have combined the 3D-printed scaffolds with different types of inll materials such as therapeutics-loaded hydrogel matrices for tissue engineering applications. 14,15 The nature of the inll material controls the hierarchy of porous structure and the mechanical properties according to the reported data by Zhang et al 16 Many studies involved the use of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as a 3D-printing material due to its good mechanical properties and cell proliferation, as well as its ability to enhance the generation of cartilage and pulposus matrix. 17 Besides, it has been previously reported by Martijn van Dijk et al that poly-L-lactic acid (PLA)-based cages successfully achieved permanent inter-body fusion within 6 months aer surgery with the maintenance of the cage height which is a crucial parameter for proper regeneration and structure maintenance.…”

The theoretical and experimental buckling analysis of a nanocomposite beams reinforced by nanorods made of recycled materials

“…During the last few decades, nanocomposites with their superior properties and characteristics have been introduced as a candidate for replacing materials in engineering applications. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Given that the advantages of composites include corrosion resistance and structural flexibility, these materials are growing rapidly in engineering applications. [9][10][11][12] After the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by Ijima, 13 carbon nanostructures are attracted the attention of researchers due to their large Young's modulus, yield strength, flexibility, and conductive properties.…”
