Biodegradable Poly(Lactic Acid)/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite Fabrication Using Casting And Hot Press Techniques

Carbon Nanotube Fabrication: Patent Analysis

MgO Doped Carbon Nanotube-reinforced Al2O3 Nanocomposite

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are probably the strongest material ever known with outstanding mechanical, electrical and physical properties [1, 2]. It is postulated that by transferring these fabulous properties as reinforcements in inorganic matrices, a new class of nanocomposite to meet the requirement of advanced applications will be generated. Al2O3 ceramics have been widely used for structural,...

Manufacturing Carbon Nanotube/PVDF Nanocomposite Powders

Aprocedure for the production of carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced poly(vinylidine difluoride) (PVDF) powders has been developed. These powders are versatile precursors for a range of nanocomposite materials. The morphology of the CNT/PVDF powder can be related to the interaction between filler and matrix, which depends on the degree of modification of the polymer with grafted maleic anhydride (...

Fabrication of porous ultra-short single-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

We investigated the fabrication of highly porous scaffolds made of three different materials [poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) polymer, an ultra-short single-walled carbon nanotube (US-tube) nanocomposite, and a dodecylated US-tube (F-US-tube) nanocomposite] in order to evaluate the effects of material composition and porosity on scaffold pore structure, mechanical properties, and marrow stromal ...

Rubber/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite with Hyperelastic Matrix

An elastomer is a polymer with the property of viscoelasticity, generally having notably low Young's modulus and high yield strain compared with other materials.  Elastomers, in particular rubbers, are used in a wide variety of products ranging from rubber hoses, isolation bearings, and shock absorbers to tires. Rubber has good properties and is thermal and electrical resistant. We used carbon ...
