Gas-to-nanotextile: high-performance materials from floating 1D nanoparticles
Isabel Gómez-Palos, Miguel Vazquez-Pufleau, Richard S Schäufele +4
Suspended in the gas phase, 1D inorganic nanoparticles (nanotubes and nanowires) grow to hundreds of microns in a second and can be thus directly assembled into freestanding networ…
Ultrafast synthesis of SiC nanowire webs by floating catalysts rationalised through in-situ measurements and thermodynamic calculations
Isabel Gómez-Palos, Miguel Vazquez-Pufleau, Jorge Valilla +3
This work presents the synthesis of SiC nanowires floating in a gas stream through the vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism using an aerosol of catalyst nanoparticles. These conditi…
Tensile properties of carbon nanotube fibres described by the fibrillar crystallite model
J. C. Fernández-Toribio, B. Alemán, A. Ridruejo +1
This work presents a model that successfully describes the tensile properties of macroscopic fibres of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The core idea is to treat such a fibre as a network…
