New approach to model the buckling and stable length of multi walled carbon nanotube probes near graphite sheets
TL;DR: In this article, the buckling of multi walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) probes/actuators in the vicinity of thin and thick graphite has been carried out for the first time via two analytical approximation methods as well as a numerical one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melt dispersion and electrospinning of non-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes in thermoplastic polyurethane.
TL;DR: The coupling of efficient melt compounding with electrospinning eliminated the need for intensive surface functionalization or sonication of the MWCNTs, and the high aspect ratio as well as the electrical and mechanical properties of the nanotubes were retained.

Structures, electrical, and dielectric properties of PVDF-based nanocomposite films reinforced with neat multi-walled carbon nanotube
TL;DR: In this paper, the electrical conductivity and dielectric permittivity of poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanocomposites reinforced with a neat multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) were investigated.

Polymer grafting to single-walled carbon nanotubes: effect of chain length on solubility, graft density and mechanical properties of macroscopic structures.
TL;DR: Thermogravimetric analysis allows calculation of the grafted chain density and average interchain separation on the nanotube surface as a function of molecular weight, and it is shown that the molecular weight of thegrafted chains significantly affects the mechanical properties of nanotubes films.
