Dispersion of carbon nanotubes and its influence on the mechanical properties of the cement matrix (2012, background): “Since the first report on CNTs by Iijima in 1991, numerous attempts have been made to strengthen materials (especially polymer-based materials) with nanotubes [7–9].”
Effect of carbon nanotubes on properties of cement mortars (2014, background): “Since the first report on CNTs by Iijima in 1991, numerous attempts have been made to strengthen materials (especially polymer-based materials) with nanotubes [1–3].”
Microstructure and Properties of Polypropylene/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites (2010, methodology): “CNTs can also be covalently grafted into PP (Figure 43) with an easy procedure including oxidation of MWCNTs with a 3:1 mixture of concentrated sulfuric and nitric acid, reaction with ethylenediamine to afford MWNT–NH2 and finally melt blending with PP-g-MA at 220 °C [14,103].”
