Microstructure and Properties of Polypropylene/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites (2010, background): “Some brief papers involving MWCNTs were published showing significant flame retardant effectiveness of polypropylene PP/MWCNTs nanocomposites [82-84] even thought the residual amount of iron particles, which are used as catalyst to make the MWCNTs, can affect the thermal and thermo-oxidative stabili”
Modulus, Fracture Strength, and Brittle vs. Plastic Response of the Outer Shell of Arc-grown Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes (2007, unknown): “nanotubes [28], which should lower their strength.”
Effect of hydrocarbons precursors on the formation of carbon nanotubes in chemical vapor deposition (2004, result): “Combined with Raman and SEM results, it could be ascribed to the combustion of MWNTs, which agreed well with previous work [23].”
Evaluating the characteristics of multiwall carbon nanotubes (2011, background): “Many studies of MWCNT have been carried out to demonstrate the differences in MWCNT materials after annealing the CNTs [82–84], oxidation, purification [83,85–87], and post-ultrasonic cutting [88].”
Thermo-mechanical behavior of low-dimensional systems: The local bond average approach (2009, background): “MWCNTs are more thermally stable than the SWCNTs, and the stability of the MWCNTs increases with the number of walls [352,365,366], opposing to the change trend of modulus.”
