“…dispersion, alignment and interface. 4,5 Furthermore, the use of CNT alone as reinforcement often failed to achieve the superior mechanical properties in the composites. Therefore, different routes have been adopted, notably a combination of CNT and carbon fibre (CF) [6][7][8] that involves dispersion of CNT into epoxy matrix followed by impregnation in carbon fabric.…”

In this letter, we report preparation of strongly anchored multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) carbon fiber (CF) fabric preforms. These preforms were reinforced in epoxy resin to make multi scale composites for microwave absorption in the X-band (8.2-12.4GHz). The incorporation of MWCNTs on the carbon fabric produced a significant enhancement in the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI-SE) from −29.4 dB for CF/epoxy-composite to −51.1 dB for CF-MWCNT/epoxy multiscale composites of 2 mm thickness. In addition to enhanced EMI-SE, interlaminar shear strength improved from 23 MPa for CF/epoxy-composites to 50 MPa for multiscale composites indicating their usefulness for making structurally strong microwave shields

“…Besides that, treatment by carboxylic acid groups also can be used in this modification but for the strong acid used it can defects on CNTs sidewalls and decrease the aspect ratio of CNTs and other possible surface modification techniques included plasma, thermal and laser ablation [8]. By using silane agents, the coupling process can be accomplished via the chemical reaction between the trialkoxy groups of silane molecules and the hydroxyl groups of silane molecules and the hydroxyl groups on the glass substrates, whereas other functional group of silane molecules, which are generally ethylene, amine, epoxy and thiohydroxy can be remained [9].…”

Abstract-A new type of mixed matrix membrane consisting of functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polyethersulfone (PES) is prepared for biogas purification. PES mixed matrix membrane with and without modification of carbon nanotubes were prepared by a dry/wet phase inversion technique using a pneumatically flat sheet membrane casting machine system. The modified carbon nanotubes were prepared by treating the carbon nanotubes with chemical modification using Dynasylan Ameo (DA) silane agent to allow PES chains to be grafted on carbon nanotubes surface. The results from the FESEM, DSC and FTIR analysis confirmed that chemical modification on carbon nanotubes surface had taken place. Meanwhile, the nanogaps in the interface of polymer and carbon nanotubes were appeared in the PES mixed matrix membrane with unmodified of carbon nanotubes. The modified carbon nanotubes mixed matrix membrane increases the mechanical properties, the productivity and purity of biogas. For PES-modified carbon nanotubes mixed matrix membrane the maximum selectivity achieved for CO 2 /CH 4 is 36.78

“…For example, the zigzag edges of graphene quantum dots have attracted more interest for experimental investigation than armchair edges due to the presence of localized edge states, which are vital to spintronic applications [4]. The mechanical properties and electronic conductivity of carbon nanotubes sensitively rely on their chirality [5], yielding variations in the stiffness, bending rigidity [6], metallic status, and tube-tube contact resistance [7]. For recently emerging two-dimensional materials, many properties related to the lattice orientation have also been revealed.…”
