Strength of nanotubes, filaments and nanowires from sonication-induced scission
Y. Y. Huang, T. P. J. Knowles, E. M. Terentjev
We propose a simple model to describe the cavitation-induced breakage of mesoscale filaments during their sonication in solution. The model predicts a limiting length below which s…
Polysiloxane surfactants for the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in non-polar organic solvents
Y. Ji, Y. Y. Huang, A. R. Tajbakhsh +1
We develop two new amphiphilic molecules that are shown to act as efficient surfactants for carbon nanotubes in non-polar organic solvents. The active conjugated groups, which are…
Rheology of carbon nanotube dispersions
Y. Y. Huang, S. V. Ahir, E. M. Terentjev
We report on rheological properties of a dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in a viscous polymer matrix. Particular attention is paid to the process of nanotubes mixing an…
Infrared actuation in aligned polymer-nanotube composites
S. V. Ahir, A. M. Squires, A. R. Tajbakhsh +1
Rubber composites containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been irradiated with near infrared light to study their reversible photo-mechanical actuation response. We demonstra…
