The synthesis of megatubes: new dimensions in carbon materials.

چکیده
Extremely large carbon tubes, some exceeding 5 microm in diameter, were produced with both laser and electric arc techniques using graphite, a transition metal catalyst, and a reactive third-body gas. We have named these structures carbon megatubes. They are the first carbonaceous tubes large enough to observe using optical microscopy. We also report the synthesis of what we believe to be the first self-assembled branched nanotubes. In addition to their extreme diameters and unique morphologies, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has shown that these tubes also contain a significant amount of nitrogen atom incorporation into the graphite lattice. Subsequently, these nitrogen functionalities were shown to interact with rhenium pentacarbonyl bromide and serve as anchor points to tether molecules to the surface of the tubules.

Study on Synthesis and Characterization of Unsaturated Poly (ester-amide) as Bone Fixation Materials
A new type of unsaturated poly ester-amide was prepared by melt polycondensation and characterized completely. Influence of heat treatment conditions and cross-linking content on mechanical and degradation properties of unsaturated polyester-amide were studied. Results suggested that the newly synthesized unsaturated poly(ester-amide) possessed good heat stabilization properties. Mechanical...
متن کاملSynthesis of Ethylenediamine-modified Ordered Mesoporous Carbon as a New Nanoporous Adsorbent for Removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) Ions from Aqueous Media
The mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) functionalized with ethylenediamine (EDA) has been synthesized (CMK-3-EDA) and applied as a new mesoporous adsorbent for removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) cations from aqueous solutions. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements (BET) show that surface area, pore size and pore volume of CMK-3 were significantly changed after amine modification. The BET surface area an...

In this paper, new various morphologies of boron carbide were successfully synthesized using carbon black, activated carbon and boron oxide precursors as well as using cobalt nanoparticles as catalysts. Almost the whole morphology of synthesized boron carbide are consisted of smooth nanowires and nanobelts. With decreasing the carbon black particles size from 29 nm to 13 nm (29, 23, 17 and 13),...
