Carbon nanotubes are a new allotrope of carbon which emerged from the fullerene family [1]. Carbon nanotubes have been discovered by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) in 1991 by Iijima [2]. A single wall carbon nanotube is constituted of one atomic plane with a graphite-like arrangement of C atoms – called a graphene sheet – which is perfectly rolled into a cylinder (Fig....

the physical adsorption of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide gases on the zigzag (5,0) carbon nanotubes doped with nitrogen was investigated through the application of b3lyp/6-31g* at the level of theory on gaussian 03 software. a variety of stable and high abundance structures of nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes were considered in order to study the interaction between the mentioned gases in ...

Present research paper deals with the adsorption isotherms rate 2-amino phenol and 4-amino phenol on multi-wall carbon nanotube which performed by changing the amount of solution concentration in ppm unit. According to difference between two under studied substances are in substitution of NH2 in ortho and para position , more adsorption of 4-aminophenol on carbon nanotube demonstrate that para ...

Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out on the isothermal crystallization process of single polyethylene chains with different chain lengths on the single wall carbon nanotube. This process is summarized as two steps, i.e., adsorption and orientation, and the bond-orientational order parameter is used to show the details of this process. The results show that the attractive van der Waals...

The epoxy coatings containing multi-walled carbon nanotube/ poly ortho aminophenol nanocomposite were prepared and used as anticorrosive coatings. The nanocomposites with different contents of carbon nanotube were synthesized in a solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate and ammonium peroxy disulfate as a surfactant and an oxidant, respectively. The morphology and structural properties were confirmed...

Carbon nanotube sheets have great potential for specific engineering applications owing to their unique, tunable properties such as conductivity. To date, most CNT sheet materials (e.g., buckypapers) are fabricated by using single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). However, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are much cheaper than SWNTs, and better suited to large scale industrial applications. One...

in this work the synthesis of polyaniline/chitosan/functionalized single- walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite is carried out. for this purpose single -walled carbon nanotubes were reacted with thionyl chloride to change the hydroxyl to acyl chloride groups for improving the react ability. in other step, aniline monomers and chitosan were polymerized in the presence of iron (iii) chloride to sy...

BACKGROUND The lymphatic system plays a significant role in the defense of a subject against breast cancer and is one of the major pathways for the metastasis of breast cancer. To improve the prognosis, many means, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, have been used. However, the combination of all these modalities has limited efficacy. Lymph nodes, therefore, have become an except...

in the present study, tin-promoted pd/mwnts nanocatalystwas synthesized via polyol technique for application in hydrogenation of high-concentrated acetylene feedstocks. tem images showed a restricted distribution of nanoparticles in the range of 3-5 nm. the results indicated that nanoparticles sizes were resistant to further catalyst deactivation. xrd patterns signified alloying between pd and ...
