Abstract Polymer-impregnated carbon fabric is used as an alternative to metallic reinforcement bars in cementitious materials, which then termed textile-reinforced concrete (TRC). In this study, the bond strength between cement-based matrix and was enhanced by decorating polymer (an epoxy) coating with hydrophilic micron-size particles (cement or silica) nanocarbons (functionalized nanotubes gr...

Graphene is one of the most significant carbon nanomaterials, with a one-atom-thick two-dimensional nanostructure. Like other nanocarbons, graphene has been used as polymer reinforcement. This review explores impact and graphene-based nanocomposites on aerospace applications. The fabrication indispensable features graphene-derived have considered. Numerous polymers employed for systems such rei...

The development of nanocarbon-integrated ceramic composites is highly desired to improve the functionality oxide-based materials, such as conductivity, catalytic activity, and optical mechanical properties. Among nanocarbons, fluorescent nanocarbon materials with unique chemical/physical properties, known carbon dots (C-dots), have received considerable attention in recent years. C-dots can be ...

Abstract Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel class polymer composites based on onion-like carbons (OLCs)-silicon diimide by salt-free polycondensation reaction. The pyridine-catalyzed polymerization reaction was carried out in presence various contents (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2 wt%) carboxyl-functionalized OLCs argon atmosphere to provide with well-dispersed covalently incorpo...
