Journal ArticleDOI
Amino-Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes for Binding to Polymers and Biological Systems
TL;DR: In this article, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were functionalized with amino groups via chemical modification of carboxyl groups introduced on the carbon nanotide surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
A vibration energy harvesting device with bidirectional resonance frequency tunability
TL;DR: In this article, the design and testing of a resonance frequency tunable energy harvesting device using a magnetic force technique is presented, which enabled resonance tuning to ±20% of the untuned resonant frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fiber waviness in nanotube-reinforced polymer composites-I: Modulus predictions using effective nanotube properties
TL;DR: In this paper, a model combining finite element results and micromechanical methods was developed to determine the effective reinforcing modulus of a wavy embedded nanotube, which was then used within a multiphase micro-computational model to predict the effective modulus for polymers with a distribution of wavy nanotubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Carbon Nanotube Composites through Chemical Functionalization
Carlos Velasco-Santos,Ana Laura Martínez-Hernández,Frank T. Fisher,and Rodney Ruoff,Victor M. Castaño +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, chemically functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes were incorporated into a polymer matrix by in situ polymerization, to improve the transfer of mechanical load through a chemical bond, which was demonstrated by Raman and infrared spectroscopies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reinforcement mechanisms in MWCNT-filled polycarbonate
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the reinforcement mechanisms in multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) composites.
