Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the quality of aqueous dispersions of single wall carbon nanotubes using surfactants and biomolecules.
Reto Haggenmueller,Sameer S. Rahatekar,Jeffrey A. Fagan,Jaehun Chun,Matthew L. Becker,Rajesh R. Naik,Todd D. Krauss,Lisa J. Carlson,John F. Kadla,Paul C. Trulove,Douglas F. Fox,Hugh C. DeLong,Zhichao Fang,Shana O. Kelley,Jeffrey W. Gilman +14 more
TL;DR: A quantitative comparison of the relative ability of "wrapping polymers" including oligonucleotides, peptides, lignin, chitosan, and cellulose and surfactants such as cholates, ionic liquids, and organosulfates to disperse SWCNTs in water is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical microstructure and viscosity enhancement for an epoxy resin matrix containing multiwall carbon nanotubes
Sameer S. Rahatekar,Krzysztof K. K. Koziol,S. A. Butler,James A. Elliott,Milo S. P. Shaffer,Malcolm R. Mackley,A. H. Windle +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe rheological measurements and associated optical microstructural observations of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) suspended in an epoxy resin matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shear and extensional rheology of cellulose/ionic liquid solutions.
TL;DR: Capillary thinning rheometry (CaBER) is used to characterize the relaxation times and apparent extensional viscosities of the semidilute cellulose solutions in a uniaxial extensional flow that mimics the dynamics encountered in the spin-line during fiber spinning processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of carbon nanotubes and montmorillonite on the flammability of epoxy nanocomposites
Sameer S. Rahatekar,Mauro Zammarano,Szabolcs Matko,Krzysztof K. K. Koziol,Alan H. Windle,Marc R. Nyden,Takashi Kashiwagi,Jeffrey W. Gilman +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 0.0025 mass fraction of highly aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was used to reduce the peak mass loss rate (PMLR) during gasification of epoxy and MWCNT composites.
Solution Spinning of Cellulose/Carbon Nanotube Composites using Room Temperature Ionic Liquids
TL;DR: In this paper, multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/cellulose composite fibers were processed from solutions in ethyl methylimidazolium acetate (EMIAc).
