toluene and benzene were eliminated using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts). in order to investigate influence of acid treatment on the mwcnts adsorption capacities, the mwcnts were functionalized by nitric acid (10 m) under reflux conditions for 2 h. fourier transform infrared (ftir) and raman spectroscopy were employed to confirm the formation of functional groups on the nanotubes surfac...

By using the density function theory (DFT) the adsorption of nitramine (NH2NO2) molecule on the surface of pristine and Ni functionalized of Gallium nitride nanotube (GaNNTs) is investigated. The adsorption energy of NH2NO2 molecule on the surface of pristine and Ni functionalized GaNNTs is in range ‒6.59 to ‒48.16 Kcal/mol and is physisorption type. The ∆E and ∆H values of the all adsorption m...

the present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. sba-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (mpts). the parent and thiol-functionalized sba-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). the charac...

The effects of surface-functionalized Na+-montmorillonite nanoclay particles on the flexural behavior of E-glass fiber-reinforced aluminum (GLARE) laminates were investigated. The nanoclay particles were subjected to surface functionalization using 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine to increase their compatibility with the epoxy matrix and improve their dispersion within the matrix. Expe...

Polysulfone/carbon nanotubes (PSF/CNTs) nanocomposite membrane was prepared via phase inversion induced by immersion precipitation technique. In addition, the surface of the CNTs were functionalized by polar carboxylic and amine groups to improve the interaction between the CNTs and the polymer matrix. For this purpose, the neat CNTs were chemically treated using sulfuric acid/ nitric acid (H2S...

Toluene and benzene were eliminated using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). In order to investigate influence of acid treatment on the MWCNTs adsorption capacities, the MWCNTs were functionalized by nitric acid (10 M) under reflux conditions for 2 h. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy were employed to confirm the formation of functional groups on the nanotubes su...
