Multi-walled carbon nanotubes induce visceral mesothelial proliferation in rats. An enlarged picture around the ligand is shown. Scanning electron microscope observation demonstrates the existence of the multi-walled carbon nanotube fibers in the cell pel

This article presents three-dimensional printed and highly sensitive polydimethylsiloxane/multi-walled carbon nanotube sensors for compressive strain and pressure measurements. An electrically conductive polydimethylsiloxane/multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite is developed to three-dimensional print compression sensors in a freestanding and layer-by-layer manner. The dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in polydimethylsiloxane allows the uncured nanocomposite to stand freely without any support throughout the printing process. The cross section of the compression sensors is examined under scanning electron microscope to identify the microstructure of nanocomposites, revealing good dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes within the polydimethylsiloxane matrix. The sensor’s sensitivity was characterized under cyclic compression loading at various max strains, showing an especially high sensitivity at lower strains. The sensing capability of the three-dimensional printed nanocomposites shows minimum variation at various applied strain rates, indicating its versatile potential in a wide range of applications. Cyclic tests under compressive loading for over 8 h demonstrate that the long-term sensing performance is consistent. Finally, in situ micromechanical compressive tests under scanning electron microscope validated the sensor’s piezoresistive mechanism, showing the rearrangement, reorientation, and bending of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes under compressive loads, were the main reasons that lead to the piezoresistive sensing capabilities in the three-dimensional printed nanocomposites.

Carbon nanotube-rayon composite filaments was fabricated by spinning and coagulation of the mixture of 100mL functionalized carbon nanotube dispersion (containing 0.72 g FCNT) and cellulose xanthate in NaOH solution using viscose process. In the process, CNT was functionalized using mixture of acidic solution ( H2SO4/HNO3, 3:1 v/v). Influence of functionalized (FCNT) and non-functionalized carbon nanotubes (nFCNT) on the fabrication of rayon nanocomposite filament was studied. Physical and morphological properties of the nanocomposite filaments were characterized by single filament tenacity tester, photo micrograph, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Filterability and mechanical properties of FCNT-rayon nanocomposite filament greatly improved by reducing clogging constant from 1689 to 153 and increasing tenacity from 2.72 to 3.01 g/denier and decreasing elongation from 57.1 to 36.5% respectively compared with those of nFCNT-rayon nanocomposite filament.Keywords: functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes, nanocomposite filament, mechanical properties, filterability, dispersion ABSTRAKRayon nanocomposite filaments telah dibuat melalui proses pemilinan (spinning) dan koagulasi (coagulation) dari campuran 100 mL larutan functionalized carbon nanotube dispersion (FCNT=0,72 g), selulosa santat dalam larutan NaOH melalui proses viskosa.

Gliserol adalah produk samping yang dihasilkan dari proses pembuatan biodiesel. Karena peningkatan produksi biodiesel, utilisasi gliserol yang melimpah menjadi asetin berpeluang dilakukan karena manfaat asetin sebagai sumber bahan baku untuk material lainnya yang bernilai lebih. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat katalis grafena oksida dari multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) dengan menggunakan metode hummers termodifikasi. Karakterisasi katalis GO dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji X-Rays Diffraction (XRD) dan Scanning Electron Microscope-Energi Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX). Aktivitas katalitik pada asetilasi gliserol menunjukkan konversi yang tinggi mencapai 94% pada suhu 110°C dalam 2 jam reaksi dengan menggunakan katalis 3% berat. Kata kunci: Asetilasi, Gliserol, Grafena Oksida, Metode Hummers Termodifikasi AbstractGlycerol is a by-product of biodiesel production. Due to the increase in biodiesel production, the utilization of abundant glycerol into acetin has the opportunity to be carried out because of the benefits of acetin as a source of raw material for other materials of higher value. This study aims to prepare graphene oxide catalysts from multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) using the modified Hummers method. The characterizations of GO catalyst were assessed using X-Rays Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope-Energi Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX). The catalytic activity of glycerol acetylation showed a high conversion reaching 94% at 110°C in 2 hours of reaction using a 3% by weight catalyst.

Capacitive sensors for dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) detection were prepared on interdigitated electrodes by airbrush process. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were used as the chemically sensitive materials, respectively. Different airbrush carbon nanotube thin films were observed and compared by field-emission scanning electron microscope. It indicated that the capacitance of airbrush MWNT sensor decreased immediately when exposed to DMMP and recovered rapidly when removed DMMP in the range of 12-60 mg/m3(2.4-12 ppm). The sensitivity of airbrush MWNT sensor was about -1.39% at the concentration of 12 mg/m3(2.4 ppm). It was obvious that the capacitance sensitivity was higher when the MWNTs were more and the film was denser by airbrush. It was also found that the capacitance sensitivity of airbrush SWNT sensor was higher than the corresponding airbrush MWNT sensor.

AbstractIn the present study, we have studied photoelectrochemical properties of poly(3-octathiophene) (P3OT), blending with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). P3OT blended with MWCNTs was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Raman spectroscope, and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) techniques, respectively. The photoelectrochemical current of the MWCNs-P3OT based cell under illumination was investigated by applying a voltage. The blend consisting of 10% MWCNTs in P3OT gave the promising photocurrent in 0.2 M tetra-butyl-ammonium-tetrafluoroborate (TBATFB), electrolyte. Experimental results indicate that photocurrent obtained from MWCNT-P3OT was three times higher than simple P3OT-based conducting polymer. The electrochemical responses of MWCNT-P3OT films in different electrolytes such as 0.2M TBATFB, 0.2 M LiClO4, 1 M H2SO4 and 0.2 M LiBF6 were investigated for comparative photocurrent properties of the photoelectrochemical cell.
