Dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotube using soluble polysilsesquioxane containing alkylammonium side chains and triiodide counterions

Improved rheological properties and stability of multiwalled carbon nanotubes/polymer in harsh environment

“…Earlier studies have demonstrated the potential of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for EOR . However, the tendency of CNTs to establish strong van der Waals and π–π interactions, results in immiscibility with most media and forms tight bundles . Han et al .…”

“…[19][20][21] However, the tendency of CNTs to establish strong van der Waals and π-π interactions, results in immiscibility with most media and forms tight bundles. 22,23 Han et al investigated the transport behaviors of polymeric stabilized multiwalled CNTs (MWCNTs) through a saturated quartz sand column in the presence of electrolytes, model clays, and humic acid as a natural organic matter. 24 A breakthrough (C/C 0 ) ranging from 0.69 to 0.90 at ionic strength from 0.3 to 10 mM was obtained for MWCNTs.…”

Facile preparation of a soluble polymer containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane units in its main chain

“…trifunctional silane compounds, such as organotrialkoxysilanes or organotrichlorosilanes. A few examples of soluble SQ-based polymeric materials such as ladder-like polySQs [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] have been produced, albeit with a limited number of side chains. Therefore, a facile preparation of soluble polySQs, such as main chain-type POSS-containing polymers, is highly desirable in SQ chemistry.…”

Novel functional cisplatin carrier based on carbon nanotubes–quercetin nanohybrid induces synergistic anticancer activity against neuroblastoma in vitro

“…Dynamic light-scattering (DLS) measurements provide information on the hydrodynamic diameter (Z-average) of CNT. 26 Pristine CNT showed aggregates of various sizes and an average hydrodynamic diameter of around 1.8 mm, with a PDI of 0.312. The presence of big aggregates in the micrometre range, indicated a poor dispersivity as a result of the hydrophobic behaviour of the CNT outer surface.…”
