Small percentage reinforcement of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in epoxy(bisphenol-A) for enhanced mechanical performance

Recent trends in carbon nanotube (CNT)-based biosensors for the fast and sensitive detection of human viruses: a critical review

“…Compared to arc discharge and other techniques, this technology is more controlled and cost-effective while preparing small amounts of CNTs. In addition, simple, low energy consumption and cost effective synthesis procedures have been recently developed to reduce the cost of CNTs production [88][89][90]. The expense of developing biosensing platforms is a big worry in a pandemic scenario like COVID-19, as millions of tests must be conducted every day.…”

“…In addition, simple, low energy consumption and costeffective synthesis procedures have been recently developed to reduce the cost of CNT production. [88][89][90] The expense of developing bio-sensing platforms is a big worry in a pandemic scenario like COVID-19, as millions of tests must be conducted every day. As highlighted in Table 2, CNTs are a great contender for making high-performance and low-cost detection systems in the laboratory due to their low price.…”

Effect of Hybrid Reinforcements on the Mechanical Properties of Copper Nanocomposites

“…The biosensor delivered substantially high conductivity of graphene and excellent metallic characteristics of copper along with a large surface to target virus pathogens of the cotton crop. [88][89][90] Conclusions CU-G hybrid MMCs exhibit outstanding mechanical strength and hardness. The unusual combination of these qualities has stimulated the interest of researchers in this domain.…”

Molecular insights into the interfacial adhesion mechanism between carbon nanotubes and epoxy resin

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated that the mechanical performance of epoxy resin can be improved through the doping of nanoparticles, such as TiO 2 , 6–8 silica, 9,10 and carbon nanotubes. 11,12 Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have garnered extensive interest due to their unique physical and chemical properties 13 since Iijima et al 14 published the first article on them in 1991. CNTs are typical one-dimensional nanoparticles with a high specific surface area and light weight, 15,16 and possess excellent tensile strength along their longitudinal axis.…”
