Mechanical properties of rubber composites with cup-stacked carbon nanotubes
Tanso, 2009 Cup-stacked carbon nanotubes (Cup-CNTs) consist of truncated conical graphene layers which exhibit open edges on the tube outer surface. Therefore, when used as filler, Cup-CNTs are expected to have many contact points with the matrix. Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) composites containing Cup-CNTs were prepared by mixing the chloroform solutions ...

Luminescence of Cup-Stacked Carbon Nanotubes and Its Application to Microchip Electrophoresis
Bunseki Kagaku, 2009 従来，マイクロチップ電気泳動でレーザー励起蛍光検出を用いて高感度検出を試みる際に試料の蛍光標識を行う．しかし，蛍光標識は煩雑な操作，標識に伴う分離能の低下及び低濃度試料の蛍光誘導体化効率の低下という問題を有しており，蛍光標識を不要とする高感度検出法の開発が望まれている．著者らは遠心操作によりカップ積層型カーボンナノチューブ（cup stacked carbon nanotubes，CSCNTs）が蛍光を発することを見いだし，泳動液へのCSCNTsの添加によりDNAのマイクロチップ電気泳動分離及び非標識（間接蛍光）検出に成功した．CSCNTsは蛍光を有することに加えて ...

Toward mesoporous 1D structures: Expanding interlayer spaces in cup-stacked Carbon nanotubes
Carbon TrendsTailoring the pore structure in materials is a key to achieving efficient ion/molecular transportation. The interlayer space in graphitic materials can be expanded via the oxidation–exfoliation process. However, since the intercalation-mediated oxidation method does not work for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that have semi-closed graphitic structures ...

Computational study of boron nitride nanotube synthesis: how catalyst morphology stabilizes the boron nitride bond [PDF]
, 2009 In an attempt to understand why catalytic methods for the growth of boron nitride nanotubes work much worse than for their carbon counterparts, we use first-principles calculations to study the energetics of elemental reactions forming N2, B2 and BN ...
