CVD Growth of Boron Nitride Nanotubes
Oleg R. Lourie,Carolyn R. Jones,Bart M. Bartlett,Patrick C. Gibbons,Rodney S. Ruoff,William E. Buhro +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a root-growth mechanism is proposed for the catalyzed process of growing multiwalled BN nanotubes from nickel boride catalyst particles by chemical vapor deposition at 1000−1100 °C using borazine, B3N3H6, as the precursor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocompatible, robust free-standing paper composed of a TWEEN/graphene composite
Sungjin Park,Nihar Mohanty,Ji Won Suk,Ashvin Nagaraja,Jinho An,Richard D. Piner,Weiwei Cai,Daniel R. Dreyer,Vikas Berry,Rodney S. Ruoff +9 more
TL;DR: This work presents the production of a free-standing ‘‘paperlike’’ material composed of TWEEN and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) platelets and obtained by simple filtration of a homogeneous aqueous colloidal suspension of TweEN/RGO hybrid, which was highly stable in water without leakage of T WEEN and is compliant and sufficiently robust to be handled by hand without breaking.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of vacancy defects and holes in the fracture of carbon nanotubes
Steven L. Mielke,Diego Troya,Sulin Zhang,Je-Luen Li,Shaoping Xiao,Roberto Car,Rodney S. Ruoff,George C. Schatz,Ted Belytschko +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of vacancy defects in the fracture of carbon nanotubes under axial tension was investigated using density functional theory and semi-empirical methods, and molecular mechanics (MM) calculations with a Tersoff-Brenner potential.
Simultaneous Reduction and Surface Functionalization of Graphene Oxide by MusselInspired Chemistry
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of simultaneous reduction and surface funcionalization of graphene oxide by a one-step poly(norepinephrine) funcionalisation was presented, which can be a useful platform for graphene-based ano-composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer Brushes via Controlled, Surface-Initiated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) from Graphene Oxide
Sun Hwa Lee,Daniel R. Dreyer,Jinho An,Aruna Velamakanni,Richard D. Piner,Sungjin Park,Yanwu Zhu,Sang Ouk Kim,Christopher W. Bielawski,Rodney S. Ruoff +9 more
TL;DR: A method for growing polymers directly from the surface of graphene oxide using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is demonstrated and the resulting materials were found to significantly improve the solubility properties of grapheneoxide.
