Poly(acrylamide)-MWNTs hybrid hydrogel with extremely high mechanical strength
Poly(acrylamide)-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PAAm-MWNTs) hybrid hydrogels were prepared through the radiation-induced polymerization and crosslinking of the aqueous solution of acrylamide and well-dispersed MWNTs for the first time.

A facile method to synthesize nZVI-doped polypyrrole-based carbon nanotube for Ag(i) removal
The pollution of silver ion (Ag(i)) has become a serious environmental threat and hazard to ecosystem and human health. Thus, the nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI)-doped polypyrrole-based carbon nanotube (nZVI/CNT) composites were synthesized by a facile

Catalytic CVD Synthesis of Double and Triple-walled Carbon Nanotubes by the Control of the Catalyst Preparation [PDF]
We report the influence of catalyst preparation conditions for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD). Catalysts were prepared by the combustion route using either urea or citric acid as the fuel. We found

Electonic transport properties of nitrate-doped carbon nanotube networks
The conductivity of carbon nanotube (CNT) networks can be improved markedly by doping with nitric acid. In the present work, CNTs and junctions of CNTs functionalized with NO$_3$ molecules are investigated to understand the microscopic mechanism of ...

Polysulfone/ Carbon Nanotubes Asymmetric Nanocomposite Membranes: Effect of Nanotubes Surface Modification on Morphology and Water Permeability [PDF]
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 ...
