Summary: Chemical functionalization of carbon nanotubes using a mix of sulfuric and nitric acids enhances their hydrophilicity, which improves their dispersion in water and cement matrix. This study treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes with acid and used them to prepare solutions with low amounts of poly-carboxylate ester (PCE) by ultrasonic sonication. The acid-treated carbon nanotubes contained 13% carboxyl functional groups and showed increased hydrophilicity and better bonding with cement hydration products. The addition of acid-treated carbon nanotubes resulted in a 55% increase in the mechanical strength of cement paste.

Summary: Noise pollution poses a threat to health and well-being, and its prevalence has been increasing. Incorporating fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) into epoxy resins can improve their sound-dampening capabilities. The DNA-SWCNT/epoxy composites showed the highest transmission loss, with an 18% improvement compared to epoxy alone, and the optimal concentration of DNA-SWCNT was found to be 2 mg L-1. Additionally, the near-infrared fluorescence of SWCNTs was utilized to characterize their distribution within the epoxy resin.

Summary: This paper proposes a finger-jointing model to describe the ultrastructures of cellulose microfibrils, based on observations of TEMPO oxidized CNFs heated in saturated water vapor. Through XRD and HR-TEM analysis, it was discovered that cellulose microfibrils are jointed structures of shorter blocks, with polysaccharide chains organized in I beta. The jointed structure suggests a working and resting rhythm in cellulose biosynthesis.

Summary: An aqueous dispersion of TEMPO-CNFs was used to prepare TEMPO-CNF/MA-PP/PP composite sheets, which showed increased yield stress and storage modulus with increasing TEMPO-CNF content but decreased elongation at break. The presence of TEMPO-CNFs restricted the flow behavior of the MA-PP/PP components but did not affect the crystallinities and melting behavior of the composite sheets. Aggregation behavior of TEMPO-CNFs in the PP matrix may have resulted in brittle tensile properties of the composite sheets.

Summary: This study demonstrates the improvement of mechanical properties and reduction of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in graphene oxide (GO)/epoxy (EP) nanocomposites by enhancing the interface between GO and EP through functionalization and incorporating rigid-flexible interphases. The results reveal that the SiO2-PEA-GO hybrid exhibits better strengthening and toughening effects, as well as lower CTE, compared to the PEA-GO hybrid due to the presence of rigid-flexible interfaces with higher bonding strength and better energy dissipation mechanisms. Additionally, the nanocomposites with longer polyetheramine (PEA) molecules in the rigid-flexible interphases demonstrate higher strength and toughness, while maintaining a lower CTE. This work provides a promising strategy for constructing adjustable flexible-rigid interfacial structures and offers potential in developing GO/EP nanocomposites with high mechanical properties and low CTE.
