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…
Spark Discharge Generator as a Stable and Reliable Nanoparticle Synthesis Device: Analysis of the Impact of Process and Circuit Variables on the Characteristics of Synthesized Nanoparticles
Miguel Vazquez-Pufleau, Isabel Gomez-Palos, Luis Arevalo +2
Nanotechnology offers the promise of harnessing quantum properties not available in the bulk phase. These desirable properties are highly dependent on size and composition. Generat…
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…
Threading Through Macrocycles Enhances the Performance of Carbon Nanotubes as Polymer Fillers
A. López-Moreno, B. Nieto-Ortega, M. Moffa +6
In this work we study the reinforcement of polymers by mechanically interlocked derivatives of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). We compare the mechanical properties of fiber…
