“…26,34 Similarly, oxidized CNDs are expected to be superior to 1D oxidized carbon nanotubes and exible graphene oxides when used as llers to improve for instance barrier properties since they provide a rigid, at, functional yet nonpermeable surface. 35 Up to day, and due to their unique combination of morphological and structural characteristics, CNDs have been proposed as very attractive candidate nanomaterials for applications relative to electrochemistry, 26 improvement of friction properties, 36 magnetic properties 28 and llers for composite materials. 37 The particular size of these disc-like carbon nanoakes is crucial for maintaining important properties, such as electrical conductivity and on the other hand, small enough or even ideal in some cases, for application in bionanotechnology, nanomedicine and drug delivery, micromanipulation, nanochemistry etc.…”
