Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental observation of scaling laws for alternating current and direct current conductivity in polymer-carbon nanotube composite thin films
B. E. Kilbride,Jonathan N. Coleman,J. Fraysse,Patrick Fournet,Martin Cadek,Anna Drury,Stefan Hutzler,S. Roth,Werner J. Blau +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, alternating current and direct current (DC) conductivities have been measured in polymer-nanotube composite thin films for a range of concentrations of multi-wall nanotubes in two polymer hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological and mechanical properties of carbon-nanotube-reinforced semicrystalline and amorphous polymer composites
TL;DR: In this paper, multiwalled carbon nanotubes were investigated as potential mechanical reinforcement agents in two hosts, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and poly(9-vinyl carbazole) (PVK).
Journal ArticleDOI
High Performance Nanotube‐Reinforced Plastics: Understanding the Mechanism of Strength Increase
Jonathan N. Coleman,Martin Cadek,Rowan Blake,Valeria Nicolosi,Kevin P. Ryan,Colin Belton,A. Fonseca,Janos B. Nagy,Yurii K. Gun'ko,Werner J. Blau +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two types of polymer matrices, namely polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chlorinated polypropylene (COPP), were used to construct carbon nanotube composite films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuning Carbon Materials for Supercapacitors by Direct Pyrolysis of Seaweeds
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple pyrolysis of the seaweeds under a nitrogen atmosphere between 600 and 900 ˚C, followed by rinsing the product in slightly acidic water, results in high-density materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reinforcement of polymers with carbon nanotubes: The role of nanotube surface area
Martin Cadek,Jonathan N. Coleman,Kevin P. Ryan,Valeria Nicolosi,G. Bister,A. Fonseca,Janos B. Nagy,K. Szostak,François Béguin,Werner J. Blau +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, tensile tests were carried out on free-standing composite films of poly(vinyl alcohol) and six different types of carbon nanotubes for different nanotube loading levels.
