Chemical functionalization of carbon nanotubes through an organosilane
Carlos Velasco-Santos,Carlos Velasco-Santos,Ana Laura Martínez-Hernández,Ana Laura Martínez-Hernández,Marcelo Lozada-Cassou,A Alvarez-Castillo,Victor M. Castaño +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a novel chemical functionalization method for multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), through an oxidation and silanization process, is presented, which allows us to have different organo-functional groups attached to the MWNTs, which improves their chemical compatibility with specific polymers for producing new nanotube-based composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overcharging in colloids: beyond the Poisson-Boltzmann approach.
Manuel Quesada-Pérez,Enrique González-Tovar,Enrique González-Tovar,Alberto Martín-Molina,Marcelo Lozada-Cassou,Roque Hidalgo-Alvarez +5 more
TL;DR: These novel approaches, which are mostly computer simulations and approximate integral equation theories based on the so-called primitive model, have scarcely been applied in practice, and a critical survey on the relevance of ion size correlation in real systems is included.
Journal ArticleDOI
The application of the hypernetted chain approximation to the electrical double layer: Comparison with Monte Carlo results for symmetric salts
TL;DR: In this article, the hypernetted chain integral equations (HNC/MSA version) for the reduced density profiles of a model electrolyte near a charged electrode are solved and the resulting density and potential profiles are compared with recent Monte Carlo calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple theory for the force between spheres immersed in a fluid
TL;DR: In this article, a simple theory of the force between large spheres in a fluid is outlined by using the Percus-Yevick theory for hard sphere mixtures to describe core exclusion forces, and including a layer of small dielectric constant near the spheres to simulate the alignment of the solvent dipoles in the vicinity of the spheres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypernetted chain approximation for the distribution of ions around a cylindrical electrode. II. Numerical solution for a model cylindrical polyelectrolyte
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the electrical double layer associated with a cylindrical polyelectrolyte is studied through a simple charged hard sphere/charged hard cylinder model in which the diameter of the ions in the solution is considered.
