Implication of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on polymer/graphene composites

Surface Modification of Carbon Nanofibers and Graphene Platelets Mixtures by Plasma Polymerization of Propylene

“…This hexagonal pattern is responsible for its unique properties such as high electrical and thermal conductivity and high mechanical strength [2][3][4], making it ideal to improve the properties of several polymer matrices. Graphene is considered the basic structure of various allotropes of carbon, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), fullerenes, carbon nanofibers (CNFs), and graphene platelets (GPs) [1,[5][6][7][8].…”

“…Another allotrope of interest is the GPs, which are constituted by a low number of stacked graphene sheets (reaching up to 10 nm of thickness) [13] forming a planar structure. This structure and its ultrahigh aspect ratio provide to GPs extraordinary properties such as high thermal conductivity and high mechanical strength [6,14].…”

“…The addition of CNPs into polymer matrices has shown a marked improvement in the physicochemical properties of the nanocomposites; moreover, there is a tendency to add a mixture of two or more different carbon nanoparticles aiming to obtain a synergistic effect in the final properties of polymer nanocomposites [6,[15][16][17][18][19]. For example, when one-dimensional carbon nanostructures (CNTs or CNFs) are intercalated with GPs or graphene (2D), a 3D network is promoted, which allows a greater interaction and a better 2 Journal of Nanomaterials dispersion and spatial distribution of the CNPs in the polymer matrix [18,20].…”

Preparation of Pd/GO/Ti electrode and its electrochemical degradation for 2,4-dichlorophenol

“…These groups could improve the capacity of charge transitivity [17,[22][23][24]. Pd was applied in the electrochemistry as a fine electrocatalysis [25].…”

Development of nanocomposite with epoxidized natural rubber and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes for enhanced thermal conductivity and gas barrier property

“…Furthermore, NR can be molded easily, and it is highly biodegradable ensuring minimal environmental damage. Examples of advanced nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical property, and electrical conductivity using NR and reinforced graphene-based fillers prepared mostly by latex technology, in which the fillers are directly mixed to the aqueous dispersion of NR (latex), are plenty in literature [30][31][32][33]. Owing to those exceptional advantages NR also show a serious problem when used as single polymer matrix for nanocomposite system.…”
