The incorporation of the one-dimensional carbon nanomaterial carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was found to successfully develop a resistive switching. It implements memristic characteristics which shift from bistable to tristable memory. The localized current pathways in the organic nanocomposite layers for each intermediate resistive state (IRS) are attributed to the...

Investigating the interactions between nanoscale materials and microorganisms is crucial to provide a comprehensive, proactive understanding of nanomaterial toxicity and explore the potential for novel applications. It is well known that nanomaterial behavior is governed by the size and composition of the particles, though the effects of small differences in size toward biological cells have no...

a new hybrid nanomaterial was developed by immobilization of phosphomolybdate anions on the surface of modified magnetite nanoparticles with quaternary phosphonium cations. silica coated magnetic nanoparticles supported phosphonium cations, ph3p+-scmnps, were prepared by covalent attachment of chloropropylsilyl groups on the surface of silica coated magnetite nanoparticles and next reaction wit...

The rapid growth in nanomaterial applications have revealed limitations in available physicochemical characterization methods. An in situ electrochemical small-angle neutron scattering (eSANS) methodology was devised that enables direct measurements of nanomaterial dispersion structure while undergoing reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions at the vitreous carbon electrode. Furthermore, these po...

Linear strings of sp(1)-hybridized carbon atoms are considered as a possible phase of carbon since decades. Whereas the debate about the stability of the corresponding bulk phase carbyne continues until today, the existence of isolated chains of carbon atoms has meanwhile been corroborated experimentally. Since graphene, as the two-dimensional sp(2)-bonded allotrope of carbon, has become a vast...

Weak interfilament van der Waals interactions are potentially a significant roadblock in the development of carbon nanotube- (CNT-) and graphene-based nanocomposites. Chemical functionalization is envisioned as a means of introducing stronger intermolecular interactions at nanoscale interfaces, which in turn could enhance composite strength. This paper reports measurements of the adhesive energ...
