Zinc Sulfide Tubes Reinforced with Carbon Nanofibers

Nanoscaled Mechanical Properties of Cement Composites Reinforced with Carbon Nanofibers

This paper reports the effects of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) on nanoscaled mechanical properties of cement composites. CNFs were added to cement composites at the filler loading of 0.2 wt % (by wt. of cement). Micrographs based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) show that CNFs are capable of forming strong interfacial bonding with cement matrices. Experimental results using nanoindentation rev...

Tribological studies of polyphenylene sulfide composites filled with micro/nano particles and reinforced with short fibers or carbon nano-tubes/carbon nano-fibers

Free Vibration of Lattice Cylindrical Composite Shell Reinforced with Carbon Nano-tubes

The free vibration of the lattice cylindrical composite shell reinforced with Carbon Nano-tubes (CNTs) was studied in this study. The theoretical formulations are based on the First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) and then by enforcing the Galerkin method, natural frequencies are obtained. In order to estimate the material properties of the reinforced polymer with nano-tubes, the modified...

Nanofibers Reinforced Polymer Composite Microstructures

Chiral zinc phenylalanine nanofibers with fluorescence.

Chiral Zn(II)/D-,L-phenylalanine (Phe) bio-coordination polymer nanofibers with fluorescence were prepared by fast coordination-assisted assembly. The synthetic strategy is based on the fact that the Zn2+ ions were linked to oxygen atoms from carboxylate groups of the D- or L-amino acid by coordination interactions to form the chiral polymers. The Zn(II)/D-,L-Phe nanofibers had homogeneous diam...
