Can the properties of carbon nanotubes influence their internalization by living cells (2008, background): “The dispersion mechanism is steric [7], which is particularly attractive for this study, because it allows dispersion of nanotubes in water without inducing covalent or ionic changes in the chemistry of the nanotubes [8].”
Experimental investigations of the viscosity of nanofluids at low temperatures (2012, background): “However such a measurement assumed spherical particles resulting in an average value f or the length of the particles [27].”
Production and processing of graphene and related materials (2020, background): “Polyvinylpyrrolidone, SDS, SBDS, CTAB and other surfactants can be added to water suspensions of GRMs to stabilize them thanks to the electrostatic repulsions created [1294, 1304].”
The relationship between cellulose nanocrystal dispersion and strength (2016, methodology): “The second method alter is to the surface energy of the particles by surfactants [24].”
Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposite Cement Incorporating Surface-Treated and Untreated Carbon Nanotubes and Carbon Nanofibers (2012, methodology): “Two methods are commonly used to enhance the long-term dispersion of nanofilaments within aqueous solutions: application of chemical surfactants and acid functionalization (Vaisman et al. 2006).”
Effects of surfactant treatment on mechanical and electrical properties of CNT/epoxy nanocomposites (2008, background): “The non-covalent physical treatments, such as application of surfactants [14–17] and polymer coating followed by surfactant treatment [18], are particularly attractive because the physical adsorption seldom damages the structure of CNT, nor disturbs the inherent p-bonds of CNTs and thus the electric”
Study on dispersion, mechanical and microstructure properties of cement paste incorporating graphene sheets (2019, background): “When SDBS concentrations reach the critical micellar level in aqueous solution, the surface tension of the solution was increased, and the stability of dispersion was reduced [35].”
