Drug delivery by nanomaterials is an active emergent research area and CNTs draws considerable potential application owing to its unique quasi one-dimensional structure and electronic properties. Single walled carbon nanotubes and carbon fullerenes can be used in drug delivery due to their mechanical and chemical stability. The past few years, increasing attention by several reputed groups has ...

In this work, different carbon modification processes have been employed and the results compared with unmodified Super-P carbon. The active materials were used in respective cathodes for Li/S batteries. electrochemical performance was studied by galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling, cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy rate capability. CV measurements showed modified carbons started ou...

in the present study, modelling and vibration analysis of carbon nanotubes/ fiber/ polymer composite microplates are investigated. the governing equations of the carbon nanotubes/ fiber/ polymer composite microplates are derived based on first order shear deformation plate theory, rather than other plate theories, due to accuracy and simplicity of polynomial functions. the modified couple stres...

In this paper, the effect of mathematical representation method of an MR damper on the performance of control algorithm is investigated. The most exact and common Maxwel Nonlinear Slider (MNS) and modified Bouc-Wen hysteretic models are employed through a nonlinear  comparatve numerical study. In many of semi-active control algorithms, a mathematical modelling method is required for determinig ...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with systematically varied diameter distributions and defect densities were reproducibly grown from a modified catalyst structure templated in an amine-terminated fourth-generation poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Thermal interface resistances of the vertically oriented MWCNT arrays as determined by...

Imidazoles and their derivatives are compounds with chemotherapeutic applications. In this study, we investigated the chemical functionalization of carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-COOH) by 1,2-phenylendiamine. Multiwalled nanotube (MWNT)-benzimidazole was obtained by an MWNT-amide reaction with POCl(3) after 72 hours, which was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared, scanning e...

Monodispersed Pd-nanoparticles (∼ 8 nm) prepared via a modified microemulsion method were deposited on active carbon fibers (ACF) fabrics and studied in a semi-batch 1-hexyne liquid-phase hydrogenation. The catalyst Pd(0.45 wt%)/ACF demonstrated > 96% selectivity to 1-hexene up to 90% of conversion. Initial activity at 303 K, 1.3 MPa pressure, in n-heptane as a solvent was 0.14 kmolH2 kg −1 Pd ...
