Long-time low-impact ball milling of multi-wall carbon nanotubes

This study examines the ball-milling of CVD-processed multi-wall carbon nanotubes for cutting and opening their tips. Results show that dry milling causes nanotubes to rapidly collapse, hence transforming into graphite structure, while wet milling with some organic compounds effectively shortened and opened the nanotubes. Carbon-based milling agents are known to alter surface structure of carbon nanotubes, minimizing an excess algglomeration and consequently improving dispersion of nanotubes. The open tip structure was unstable and quite susceptible to re-close during milling and thermal treatments to minimize their surface energy.

AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNT) are interesting candidates for the reinforcement in robust composites and for conducting fillers in polymers due to their fascinating electronic and mechanical properties. For the first time, we report the incorporation of multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into silica-glass surfaces by means of partial surface-melting caused by a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser. MWNTs were detected being well incorporated in the silica-surface. The composites are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman-spectroscopy. A model for the composite-formation is proposed based on heatabsorption by MWNTs and a partial melting of the silica-surface.

Background: In this paper, transient two-dimensional laminar boundary layer viscous incompressible free convective flow of water based nanofluid with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) past a moving vertical cylinder with variable surface temperature is studied numerically in the presence of thermal radiation and heat generation. Methods: The prevailing partial differential equations which model the flow with initial and boundary conditions are solved by implicit finite difference method of Crank Nicolson type which is unconditionally stable and convergent. Results: Influence of Grashof number (Gr), nanoparticle volume fraction ( ), heat generation parameter (Q), temperature exponent (m), radiation parameter (N) and time (t) on velocity and temperature profiles are sketched graphically and elaborated comprehensively. Conclusion: Analysis of Nusselt number and Skin friction coefficient are also discussed numerically for both single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).
