Mechanical performance of ozone functionalized MWCNTs/PC nanocomposites

Functionalized carbon-nanotube sheet/bismaleimide nanocomposites: mechanical and electrical performance beyond carbon-fiber composites.

Since their discovery in 1991, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been considered as the next-generation reinforcement materials to potentially replace conventional carbon fibers for producing super-high-performance lightweight composites. Herein, it is reported that sheets of millimeter-long multi-walled CNTs with stretch alignment and epoxidation functionalization reinforce bismaleimide resin, whic...

Functionalized Graphene Nanocomposites

Enhanced mechanical properties of epoxy nanocomposites by mixing noncovalently functionalized boron nitride nanoflakes.

The influence of surface modifications on the mechanical properties of epoxy-hexagonal boron nitride nanoflake (BNNF) nanocomposites is investigated. Homogeneous distributions of boron nitride nanoflakes in a polymer matrix, preserving intrinsic material properties of boron nitride nanoflakes, is the key to successful composite applications. Here, a method is suggested to obtain noncovalently f...

Functionalized graphene sheets for polymer nanocomposites.

Polymer-based composites were heralded in the 1960s as a new paradigm for materials. By dispersing strong, highly stiff fibres in a polymer matrix, high-performance lightweight composites could be developed and tailored to individual applications. Today we stand at a similar threshold in the realm of polymer nanocomposites with the promise of strong, durable, multifunctional materials with low ...

Topological analysis and Quantum mechanical structure of Ozone

Topological analysis has been performed on the total electron density of the two forms of Ozonemolecule,C2V and D3H ,to investigate the nature of chemical bonds ,molecular structure , atomiccharges and electrical properties. While these concepts have been completely discussed usingclassical models the emphasize in this work is based on Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules(QTAIM). Because the D3...
