The exceptional electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have motivated extensive research on their manufacturing and applications. At bulk scales, there is particular interest in property enhancements by adding CNTs to polymers to make composite materials. Most work on CNT-based composites presented in the literature to date has focused on dispersion of singleo...

Developing high-efficiency lubricant additives and high-performance green cutting fluids has universal significance for maximizing processing efficiency, lowering manufacturing cost, more importantly reducing environmental concerns caused by the use of conventional mineral oil-based fluids. In this study, a nanocomposite is synthesized filling sulfurized isobutylene (T321) into acid-treated car...

In this work, the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were purified with an acid treatment and subsequently dispersed using ultrasound a nonionic surfactant solution of ethoxylated lauric alcohol 7 moles ethylene oxide (E7E). Then, (CNTs) used as reinforcement phase (0.4 wt.% 0.8 wt.%) in Al- 10Mg alloy. The high-energy ball milling was employed for nanocomposites processing, resulting powde...

An equivalent continuum model based on the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach was employed to estimate the effective constitutive law for an elastic isotropic medium (i.e., the matrix) with oriented straight carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The two-dimensional generalized differential quadrature method was an efficient and accurate numerical tool for discretizing equations of motion and for implementing vari...

Cracks could be induced in metallic components of flexible electronics due to repeated large deformations during their service. This affect reliability and durability, which may potentially enhanced by replacing the metal with a nanocomposite reinforced carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Such thin films can fabricated onto substrate via laser sintering nanoparticles (NPs) CNTs, is fabrication method seve...

One-dimensional carbon nanotubes (CNT), which are mechanically strong and flexible, enhance strength of the host metal matrix. However, the reduction of ductility is often a serious drawback. Here, we report significantly enhanced plastic flow strength, while preventing tensile ductility reduction, by uniformly dispersing CNTs inAlmatrix. Nanoscale plasticity and rupturing processes near CNTs w...

Nanocomposites of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and titanium dioxide (MWCNT/TiO2) were synthesized by the sol-gel method. Regarding hydrophobicity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), benzyl alcohol was used as the linking agent between CNT powder and TiO2 gel which was prepared from the precursor of titanium tetraisopropoxide. The prepared samples were treated under thermal treatments. A part of the sa...
