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 ...

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 ...
