Journal ArticleDOI
Solution Properties of Graphite and Graphene
Sandip Niyogi,Elena Bekyarova,Mikhail E. Itkis,Jared L. Mcwilliams,M. A. Hamon,Robert C. Haddon +5 more
TL;DR: Covalent derivatization of the acidic functional groups in oxidized graphite with octadecylamine renders graphite soluble in common organic solvents, and the first solution properties of graphite are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Thermal Conductivity in a Hybrid Graphite Nanoplatelet – Carbon Nanotube Filler for Epoxy Composites
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiscale carbon nanotube-carbon fiber reinforcement for advanced epoxy composites.
Elena Bekyarova,Erik T. Thostenson,Aiping Yu,Hansang Kim,Gao J,Tang J,Hahn Ht,Tsu-Wei Chou,Mikhail E. Itkis,Robert C. Haddon +9 more
TL;DR: The carbon nanotube/carbon fabric/epoxy composites showed approximately 30% enhancement of the interlaminar shear strength as compared to that of carbon fiber/ep oxygen composites without carbon nanOTubes and demonstrate significantly improved out-of-plane electrical conductivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical Modification of Epitaxial Graphene: Spontaneous Grafting of Aryl Groups
Elena Bekyarova,Mikhail E. Itkis,Palanisamy Ramesh,Claire Berger,Michael Sprinkle,Walt de Heer,Robert C. Haddon +6 more
TL;DR: The addition of nitrophenyl groups to the surface of few-layer epitaxial graphene by the formation of covalent carbon-carbon bonds changed the electronic structure and transport properties of the EG from near-metallic to semiconducting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Polystyrene and Polyurethane Nanofibers and Membranes by Electrospinning
Rahul Sen,Bin Zhao,Daniel E. Perea,Mikhail E. Itkis,Hui Hu,James Love,Elena Bekyarova,Robert C. Haddon +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) reinforced polymer composite membranes have been fabricated using the electrospinning technique using the nanofibers with a diameter in the range 50−100 nm.
