To improve the structural properties of engineering ceramics, carbon nanotubes have been used as a reinforcement phase to produce stronger ceramic matrix composites. This paper investigates the possible chemical bond formation between a carbon nanotube and alumina with the aid of quantum mechanics analysis. The cases with and without functionalizing the nanotubes were examined. The nanotubes were modeled by nanotube segments with hydrogen atoms added to the dangling bonds of the perimeter carbons. The cleaved ceramic (0001) surface was represented by an alumina molecule with the oxygen atoms on either end terminated with hydrogen. Methoxy radicals were used to functionalize the CNTs. The study predicts that covalent bonding between Al atoms on a cleaved single crystal alumina surface and C atoms on a nanotube are energetically favorable.

In the course of the nineteenth century it became clear that the unfettered speculation obtaining in philosophy frequently could not be useful in science. However, in the Soviet Union it is asserted that natural science can draw its correct "theoretical conclusions" only by relying upon the philosophic and the methodological teachings of dialectical materialism. Certain Soviet Marxists have, on allegedly philosophic grounds, rejected Western genetics, the resonance theory of the chemical bond, the principle of uncertainty of quantum mechanics, relativist cosmology, the relativization of space, time, and matter, probability theory, and symbolic logic. The intriguing question then remains whether Soviet dialectical materialists determine the validity of scientific theories and accomplishments on the basis of a priori judgments derived from philosophic analysis or whether the Soviet attacks on Western scientific thought are, rather, political and ideological in nature.
