Carbon nanotubes loading

Beside the stable Gdm complexes that we discussed throughout this chapter, other Gdm-based systems have been also investigated as potential contrast agents for MRI. Here, we will shortly review data on gadofullerenes and carbon nanotubes loaded with Gdm.

Acrylated epoxidised soybean oil (AESO)/impure MWCNT (MWCNT and carbon soot) nanocomposite exhibits improved mechanical properties with the tensile modulus increased by 30% at 0.28 wt% CNT loading. However higher multi-walled carbon nanotube loadings resulted in significant aggregation during polymerisation. AESO is therefore believed to act as a solubilising surfactant in this system. ...

The preparation of multi-walled carbon nanotube/ polylactide (PLA) composites is described. High electrical conductivity can be achieved at a low carbon nanotube loading. The carbon nanotube-induced crystallization can be controlled by the degree of the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in the PLA matrix.
