The emphasis of this study was surface modification on MWNTs by dielectric barrier discharge plasma at atmospheric pressure. The effects of the plasma treatment on the MWNTs were characterized by SEM, XRD and FT-IR. The results show that surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) emerge carboxyl group, and the plasma modified CNTs by a physico chemical adsorption without structural damage. Modified CNTs/ferrite/polyimide nanocomposites, were prepared and mechanical test demonstrate the low temperature plasma treatment is an effective way to improve interfical bonding bewteen CNTs and polyimide (PI) matrix.

We have investigated the covalent conjugation of aminated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTNH2)s with Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (ORC) in order to enhance the hemostatic effect. The MWCNT-NH2s were prepared by functionalization of pristine MWCNTs (pMWCNTs) using amine groups. Neat ORC gauze and MWCNT-NH2s were reacted using glutamic acid as cross linking bridge. We investigated an amination of pMWCNTs as well as the dispersion of MWCNT-NH2s in the ORC gauze as matrix and their interfacial interactions by SEM and FT-IR. The results revealed that relatively strong interaction exists between aminated MWCNTs and the ORC macromolecules. The hydrophilicity test results in the significant increment of water uptake of MWCNT-NH2s/ORC composites with increasing the concentration of MWCNT-NH2s in composite. The in-vitro procoagulation test shows that the MWCNT-NH2s/ORC gauzes have significant procoagulant activity. The hemostatic evaluation of MWCNT-NH2s/ORC composites on rabbits shows that the aminated MWCNTs increase the rate of blood stopping and hence they decrease the blood loosing from injured sites. Hemostatic evaluation indicates that the MWCNT-NH2s/ORC gauze has a valuable hemostatic performance. The products of platelets release reaction, activated platelets glycoprotein and activated clotting enzymes were increased simultaneously. The mechanism of the hemostasis for MWCNT-NH2s/ORC gauze is discussed.

The Dopamine-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-Dopa) were synthesized by chemical reaction between dopamine (Dopa) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes which oxidazed by mixed-acid (MWNT-COOH). The structure of MWNT-Dopa were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric (TG), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques and the dispersity of MWNT-Dopa were studied by Dispersion stability analyzer. The results show that dopamine has been grafted on multiwalled carbon nanotubes successfully, and a dopamine layer which wraps on the surface of multiwalled nanotubes make multiwalled nanotubes have outstanding dispersity in water.

Bundles or fabrics of sized glass fibres were treated by a dielectric barrier discharge plasma in a He/CF4 gas mixture at atmospheric pressure with and without ultrasonic irradiation. The plasma treatment introduced fluorine both inside and outside of the fibre bundle, decreasing wetting of glycerol. Ultrasonic irradiation markedly increased the fluorine content as well as the silicon, calcium, and aluminium contents, indicating simultaneous fluorination and preferential etching of organic components. It is indicated that plasma treatment in a He/CF4 gas mixture can be used for controlling the surface properties of glass fibre bundles, and that ultrasonic irradiation can enhance functionalization and etching.

In this study, Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were oxidized by a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid (V:V = 3:1) at 70 °C for 1, 2, and 4 h, respectively. The oxidized MWCNTs were characterized by N2 adsorption, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and Raman spectroscopy to determine the oxidation degree. The dispersion of the MWCNTs was investigated by UV-vis-NIR, SEM, and dynamic light scattering measurements. Results show that sulfonitric treatment increased the surface area and total pore volume and reduced the average pore diameter of MWCNTs. The treatment promoted the formation of oxidized species on the surface MWCNTs, as identified by FT-IR, TGA, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements, and more oxygen-containing functional groups were generated when treatment time was extended. Moreover, a general relationship between oxidation degree and dispersibility of MWCNTs in water was established. UV-vis-NIR and dynamic light scattering measurements and SEM images revealed that MWCNTs with higher oxidation degree showed better dispersibility in water.
