Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of multicomponent solubility parameters for graphene facilitates solvent discovery.
TL;DR: The dispersibility of graphene is measured in 40 solvents, with 28 of them previously unreported, and transmission electron microscopy analysis is used to show that the graphene is well exfoliated in all cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative Evaluation of Surfactant-stabilized Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes: Dispersion Quality and Its Correlation with Zeta Potential
TL;DR: In this article, stable dispersions of single-walled carbon nanotubes in deionized water were prepared using six common surfactants: sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), SDS, SDSS, LDS, TTAB, SC, and Fairy liquid (FL).
Journal ArticleDOI
Multicomponent solubility parameters for single-walled carbon nanotube-solvent mixtures.
Shane D. Bergin,Zhenyu Sun,David Rickard,Philip V. Streich,James P. Hamilton,Jonathan N. Coleman +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that neither Hildebrand nor Hansen solubility parameters are fundamental quantities when it comes to nanotube-solvent interactions, and it is confirmed that successful solvents occupy a well-defined range of Hansen parameter space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spray deposition of highly transparent, low-resistance networks of silver nanowires over large areas.
TL;DR: A method to produce scalable, low-resistance, high-transparency, percolating networks of silver nanowires by spray coating is presented and the critical processing parameter is shown to be the spraying pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large Populations of Individual Nanotubes in Surfactant-Based Dispersions without the Need for Ultracentrifugation
Shane D. Bergin,Valeria Nicolosi,Helen Cathcart,Mustafa Lotya,David Rickard,Zhenyu Sun,Werner J. Blau,Jonathan N. Coleman +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, stable dispersions of single-walled carbon nanotubes have been produced using the surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS).
