Dispersing multi-walled carbon nanotubes with water–soluble block copolymers and their use as supports for metal nanoparticles

Aqueous stability of oxidized carbon nanotubes and the precipitation by salts

“…The annually increasing production and utilization of this kind of nano-material will inevitably result in the introduction of CNTs to the environment [14]. Especially, in recent years, there is an increasing interest in preparation and application of aqueous CNT dispersions [15][16][17][18][19][20]. With the development and appli-cation of CNT dispersions, the stabilized CNTs will inevitably be discharged in the environment.…”

Structure elucidation of nanoparticle-bound organic molecules by 1H NMR

“…When attached to a solid particle, the solution NMR signals of molecules bound to nanomaterials become broad [24][25][26][27][28][29] (Fig. 1).…”

Investigations on printed elastic resistors containing carbon nanotubes

“…It is related to the poor solubility and processability [16,17]. Many methods were proposed to enhance their stirring properties.…”

“…Creation of agglomerates occurs due to high bounding forces between separate CNTs [4]. Most common ways for mixing particles are ball grinding for solid state particles [5] and low energy ultrasonic mixing for liquid suspensions [17]. In both methods we can encounter problems with deagglomeration of nanoparticles, due to aforementioned high interparticle bounding forces.…”
