Author:Okoro, AM; Machaka, Ronald; Lephuthing, SS; Awotunde, MA; Oke, SR; Falodun, OE; Olubambi, PADate:May 2019The quest to achieve uniform dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in metal matrices without compromising the structural integrity of the nanotubes during the production of metal matrix composites have been a lingering challenge ...Read more
Author:Roro, Kittessa T; Mwakikunga, Bonex W; Tile, N; Yalisi, B; Forbes, ADate:May 2012Varying amounts of dispersed multiwalled carbon nanotubes in NiO have been used to develop composites that absorb the solar energy very well but lose very little through emission. Determination of absorptance, asol, and emissivity, ether, ...Read more
Author:Cele, NP; Ray, SSDate:Oct 2015The dispersion of carbon nanotubes is one of the problems in the application of polymer nanocomposites. In this study, the effect of chemical functionalization of the carbon nanotube surface on the dispersion of the tubes within a polymer is ...Read more
Author:Mago, G; Jana, SC; Suprakas, SR; McNally, TDate:Dec 2012Polymer nanocomposites have attracted interest in the last few decades providing scope for improvement of various functional properties, such as mechanical, thermal, optical, rheological, magnetic, and electrical. The improvements in functional ...Read more
