Isothermal Crystallization Kinetics of Novel Isotactic Polypropylene/MoS2 Inorganic Nanotube Nanocomposites

“…Layered metal dichalcogenides such as WS 2 and MoS 2 have shown to form this genuine property. The first synthesis of such nanophases was reported by Tenne in 1992 and 1993, respectively [7,8]. Since then, the number of articles on successful growth of inorganic nanotubes (INTs) from inorganic compounds has increased rapidly, emphasizing the importance of this field for nanotechnology, with potential applications, in catalysis, rechargeable batteries, drug delivery, solar cells and electronics [9,10].…”

Integrated Circuits Based on Bilayer MoS2 Transistors

“…MoS 2 , a 2D semiconductor material, is also attractive as a potential complement to graphene 7,8,9 for constructing digital circuits on flexible and transparent substrates, while its 1.8 eV bandgap 10,11 is advantageous over silicon for suppressing the source-to-drain tunneling at the scaling limit of transistors 12 . Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) is a layered semiconductor from the transition metal dichalcogenides material family (TMD), MX 2 (M=Mo, W; X=S, Se, Te) 10,11,19,20 . A single molecular layer of MoS 2 consists of a layer of Mo atoms sandwiched between two layers of sulfur atoms by covalent bonds 10 .…”

Structure and Stability of Molybdenum Sulfide Fullerenes

“…Hollow fullerene-like nanoparticles (inorganic fullerenes (IFs)) and nanotubes (inorganic nanotubes (INTs)) have been synthesized from these inorganic compounds. [1][2][3] Theoretical investigations provided a basic understanding of the electronic and mechanical properties of the INTs. [4][5][6][7] These materials are currently being contemplated for numerous applications, in particular, as superior solid lubricants and as impact-resistant nanocomposites.…”

“…The faces of the nano-octahedra can be represented as single-layer triangular nanoplatelets. The total energy E f of such octahedral fullerenes can be expressed by Equation (1), where N i , N r , and N p are the numbers of…”
