Abstract:
A new class of biologically active polymer nanocomposites based on polyvinyl alcohol and reinforced mixed graphene/carbon nanotube as carbon-based nanofillers with a general abbreviation (polyvinyl alcohol/mixed graphene–carbon nanotubes) has been successfully synthesized by an efficient solution mixing method with the help of ultrasonic radiation. Mixed graphene and carbon nanotubes ratio has been prepared (50%:50%) wt by wt. Different loading of mixed graphene–carbon nanotubes (2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) were added to the host polyvinyl alcohol polymer. In this study, polyvinyl alcohol/mixed graphene–carbon nanotubesa–e nanocomposites were characterized and analyzed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and the thermal stability was measured by thermogravimetric analysis and derivative thermal gravimetric. Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction spectra proved the addition of mixed graphene–carbon nanotubes into polyvinyl alcohol matrix. X-ray diffraction patterns for these nanocomposites showed 2 θ = 19.35° and 40° due to the crystal nature of polyvinyl alcohol in addition to 2 θ = 26.5° which attributed to the graphite plane of carbon-based nanofillers. Thermal stability of polyvinyl alcohol/mixed graphene–carbon nanotubes nanocomposites was enhanced comparing with pure polyvinyl alcohol. The main degradation step ranged between 360° and 450°C. Moreover, maximum composite degradation temperature has appeared at range from 285°C to 267°C and final composite degradation temperature (FCDT) displayed at a temperature range of 469–491°C. Antibacterial property of polyvinyl alcohol/mixed graphene–carbon nanotubesa–e nanocomposites were tested against Escherichia coli bacteria using the colony forming units technique. Results showed an improvement of antibacterial property. The rate percentages of polyvinyl alcohol/mixed graphene–carbon nanotubesb, polyvinyl alcohol/mixed graphene–carbon nanotubesc, and polyvinyl alcohol/mixed graphene–carbon nanotubesd nanocomposites after 24 h are 6%, 5%, and 7% respectively. However, polyvinyl alcohol/mixed graphene–carbon nanotubese nanocomposite showed hyperactivity, where its reduction percentage remarkably raised up to 100% which is the highest inhibition rate percentage. In addition, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl alcohol/graphene–carbon nanotubesa–d showed colony forming units values/ml 70 × 106 and 65 ± 2 × 106 after 12 h. After 24 h, the colony forming units values/ml were in the range of 86 × 106–95 × 106.

Abstract:
This paper describes a closed-form unit cell micromechanical model for estimating the effective thermal conductivities of unidirectional carbon nanotube reinforced polymer nanocomposites. The model incorporates the typically observed misalignment and curvature of carbon nanotubes into the polymer nanocomposites. Also, the interfacial thermal resistance between the carbon nanotube and the polymer matrix is considered in the nanocomposite simulation. The micromechanics model is seen to produce reasonable agreement with available experimental data for the effective thermal conductivities of polymer nanocomposites reinforced with different carbon nanotube volume fractions. The results indicate that the thermal conductivities are strongly dependent on the waviness wherein, even a slight change in the carbon nanotube curvature can induce a prominent change in the polymer nanocomposite thermal conducting behavior. In general, the carbon nanotube curvature improves the nanocomposite thermal conductivity in the transverse direction. However, using the straight carbon nanotubes leads to maximum levels of axial thermal conductivities. With the increase in carbon nanotube diameter, an enhancement in nanocomposite transverse thermal conductivity is observed. Also, the results of micromechanical simulation show that it is necessary to form a perfectly bonded interface if the full potential of carbon nanotube reinforcement is to be realized.

Abstract:
We carried out an analytical structural analysis of interfacial effects and differences in the reinforcing ability of carbon nanotubes for polydicyclopentadiene/carbon nanotube nanocomposites with elastomeric and glassy matrices. In general, it showed that the reinforcing (strengthening) element of the structure of polymer nanocomposites is a combination of the nanofiller and interfacial regions. In the polymer matrix of the nanocomposite, carbon nanotubes form ring-like structures. Their radius depends heavily on the volume content of the nanofiller. Therefore, the structural reinforcing element of polymer/carbon nanotube nanocomposites can be considered as ring-like formations of carbon nanotubes coated with an interfacial layer. Their structure and properties differ from the characteristics of the bulk polymer matrix.According to this definition, the effective radius of the ring-like formations increases by the thickness of the interfacial layer. In turn, the level of interfacial adhesion between the polymer matrix and the nanofiller is uniquely determined by the radius of the specified carbon nanotube formations. For the considered nanocomposites, the elastomeric matrix has a higher degree of reinforcement compared to the glassy matrix, due to the thicker interfacial layer. It was shown that the ring-like nanotube formations could be successfully modelled as a structural analogue of macromolecular coils of branched polymers. This makes it possible to assess the effective (true) level of anisotropy of this nanofiller in the polymer matrixof the nanocomposite. When the nanofiller content is constant, this level, characterised by the aspect ratio of the nanotubes, uniquely determines the degree of reinforcement of the nanocomposites

AbstractThe preparation of polymer nanocomposites filled with carbon nanotubes requires the nanotubes to be uniformly dispersed and compatible with the polymer matrix. In this work we report a preparation method of polyamide 6 (PA 6) based nanocomposite containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) without any additional surface modification and obtained by in situ polymerization, as a simple method for composites production. The process was assisted by ultrasounds prior to synthesis.With such a method, an interesting morphology of polyamide 6 confined into a multiwalled carbon nanotube as well as grafted on a carbon nanotube surface was observed. For comparative purpose, PA 6 nanocomposites were also prepared from commercially available master batch by melt compounding.

Nanostructured modification of polymers has opened up new perspective for multifunctional materials. Carbon-nanotubes have the potential to increase the conductivity of their composite, with improved or retaining mechanical performance. This study focuses on the evaluation of the thermal and electrical conductivities of carbonnanotube filled alkyd resins for steel coatings. Polymer/Carbon-nanotube nanocomposites have been prepared by mixing commercial multiwall carbon-nanotubes with alkyd resins and by curing. The thermal and electrical conductivities of carbon-nanotubes filled nanocomposite was found to be increased comparing with the original resin without any fillers or with the resin with carbon-black or carbon-nanofiber.

Abstract:
Functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites have drawn great attention in both research and engineering communities. The weak interfacial bonding between carbon nanotubes and the matrix, which traditionally hinders the application of carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites, can be remarkably improved through the graded distribution of carbon nanotubes in the matrix. Within the framework of classical beam theory, this paper investigates the dynamic buckling behavior of functionally graded nanocomposite beams reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes and integrated with two surface bonded piezoelectric layers. The governing equations of the beam subjected to an applied voltage, a uniform temperature and an axial periodic force are derived by applying Hamilton's principle. Numerical results are presented for beams with different distribution patterns and volume fractions of carbon nanotubes and end support conditions. The influences of the beam geometry, temperature change, applied voltage, static axial force component, boundary condition, carbon nanotube volume fraction and its distribution on the unstable regions of FG-CNTRC piezoelectric beams are discussed in detail.

Abstract:
A method for the numerical modeling of mechanical behavior of nanocomposite materials reinforced with the carbon nanotubes, based on the computational homogenization as a multiscale method, is presented. The matrix reinforcement interactions, based on the weak van der Waals forces are incorporated into the multiscale model and are represented by the nonlinear rod elements. The reinforcements, i.e. carbon nanotubes, are modeled as a space frame structure, using beam finite elements. Computational homogenization and representative volume element (RVE) are the basis of the presented numerical model of the nanocomposites. Nanoscale model is based on beam and non-linear rod finite elements. An algorithm is developed for the analysis of the presented nanostructure, and for the purpose of the software verification, examples, i.e. models of the nanocomposite material are presented. Also, the nanocomposite model with various vacancy defects in the reinforcement, i.e. nanotube, has been prepared and the obtained results are compared and discussed.Keywords Nanocomposite materials · Carbon nanotubes · Multiscale modelling · Computational homogenization

Abstract:
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the ultimate reinforcing materials for the development of an entirely new class of composites. However, they have the complicated shapes and do not usually appear as straight reinforcements when introduced in polymer matrices. This decreases nanotube’s effectiveness in enhancing the matrix mechanical properties. In this paper, nanostructure having hexagonal representative volume element (RVE), theory of elasticity of anisotropic materials and finite element method (FEM) are used to investigate the effect of helical CNT morphology on effective mechanical properties of nanocomposites. CNT with different helical angles are modeled to estimate the nanocomposite mechanical properties. The results of helical nanotube models are compared with the effective mechanical properties of nanocomposites reinforced with straight nanotubes.

Abstract:
Here, we systematically interrogate the effects of grafting single-walled (SWNT) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) to polymer matrices by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We specifically investigate key material properties that include interfacial load transfer, alteration of nanotube properties, and dispersion of nanotubes in the polymer matrix. Simulations are conducted on a periodic unit cell model of the nanocomposite with a straight carbon nanotube and an amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (PET) matrix. For each type of nanotube, either 0%, 1.55%, or 3.1% of the carbon atoms in the outermost nanotubes are covalently grafted onto the carbon atoms of the PET matrix. Stress-strain curves and the elastic moduli of nanotubes and nanocomposites are determined based on the density of covalent grafting. Covalent grafting promotes two rivalling effects with respect to altering nanotube properties, and improvements in interfacial load transfer in the nanocomposites are clearly observed. The enhanced interface enables external loads applied to the nanocomposites to be efficiently transferred to the grafted nanotubes. Covalent functionalization of the nanotube surface with PET molecules can alter the solubility of nanotubes and improve dispersibility. Finally, we discuss the current limitations and challenges in using molecular modelling strategies to accurately predict properties on the nanotube and polymers systems studied here.

Abstract:
This article presents three-dimensional printed and highly sensitive polydimethylsiloxane/multi-walled carbon nanotube sensors for compressive strain and pressure measurements. An electrically conductive polydimethylsiloxane/multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite is developed to three-dimensional print compression sensors in a freestanding and layer-by-layer manner. The dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in polydimethylsiloxane allows the uncured nanocomposite to stand freely without any support throughout the printing process. The cross section of the compression sensors is examined under scanning electron microscope to identify the microstructure of nanocomposites, revealing good dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes within the polydimethylsiloxane matrix. The sensor’s sensitivity was characterized under cyclic compression loading at various max strains, showing an especially high sensitivity at lower strains. The sensing capability of the three-dimensional printed nanocomposites shows minimum variation at various applied strain rates, indicating its versatile potential in a wide range of applications. Cyclic tests under compressive loading for over 8 h demonstrate that the long-term sensing performance is consistent. Finally, in situ micromechanical compressive tests under scanning electron microscope validated the sensor’s piezoresistive mechanism, showing the rearrangement, reorientation, and bending of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes under compressive loads, were the main reasons that lead to the piezoresistive sensing capabilities in the three-dimensional printed nanocomposites.

Abstract:
L’incorporation de nanotubes de carbone dans une matrice polymère permet d’obtenir des matériaux nanocomposites avec des propriétés exceptionnelles. Toutefois, ces dernières dépendent de l’état de dispersion et distribution des nanotubes dans la matrice. Afin de conférer de meilleures propriétés, il est essentiel que le procédé de synthèse des nanocomposites permette une répartition contrôlée des nanotubes dans la matrice. Un procédé de polymérisation in situ, en présence de nanotubes de carbone, a été choisi. Ce dernier permet de contrôler la répartition des nanotubes dans la matrice grâce à l’utilisation des ultrasons. Afin d’optimiser ce procédé, et notamment lors de la polymérisation anionique activée de l’e-caprolactame, l’influence de la présence des nanotubes sur la vitesse de polymérisation et les propriétés rhéologiques du milieu polymérisant a été déterminée. Grâce à une étude calorimétrique suivie d’une étude rhéocinétique, il a été démontré que la présence de nanotubes ralentit la polymérisation et augmente fortement la viscosité du milieu. Cette inhibition provient probablement d’une réaction entre les nanotubes et le catalyseur utilisé pour la polymérisation et dépend donc de l’état de dispersion des nanotubes dans la matrice, lequel peut ainsi être estimé par les études cinétiques. L’étude des propriétés rhéologiques et électriques des nanocomposites à matrice polystyrène et à renforts de nanotubes de carbone a également été entreprise. Suivant l’état de dispersion ainsi que les différents paramètres opératoires, les seuils de percolation électrique et rhéologique ont ainsi pu être déterminés
The introduction of carbon nanotubes into polymers leads to nanocomposite materials with exceptional properties. These later depend, however, on the dispersion and distribution of carbon nanotubes inside the matrix. A key objective, in nanocomposite preparation, is the set up of incorporation processes allowing a good state of dispersion of the nanotubes into the matrix. An in situ polymerization process, coupled with an ultrasound processor, was chosen to best fulfill this objective. The optimization of this process implies the knowledge of the evolution of reaction kinetics and rheological properties during the polymerization. The influence of carbon nanotubes on the anionic activated polymerization of e-caprolactam was investigated by calorimetric and rheokinetic studies. Carbon nanotubes were found to slow down polymerization kinetics and highly increase the viscosity after a certain conversion degree. This inhibition phenomenon could be produced by a reaction between carbon nanotubes and the catalyst employed for the polymerization reaction. The inhibition effect depended also on the state of dispersion of the nanotubes, consequently, kinetic and rheokinetic measurements are an indirect method to estimate the state of dispersion. The electrical and rheological properties of the nanocomposites were also investigated. The influence of the state of dispersion and other parameters, such as temperature, on the electrical and rheological percolation thresholds was identified

Abstract:
Dins de l’amplia gama de nanocompòsits, la incorporació de materials conductors de carboni nanoestructurats, entre els quals s’hi troben els nanotubs de carboni (NTCs) i el grafè, a dins d’una matriu polimèrica aïllant, és una forma molt atractiva de combinar les propietats mecàniques i elèctriques úniques del material de farciment amb els atributs dels plàstics. Concretament, els materials nanocompòsits basats en carboni han jugat un gran lideratge en el camp de l’electroquímica analítica, sobre tot en el desenvolupament de dispositius (bio)sensors, degut a les seves interessants avantatges respecte a un material conductor pur. Aquestes avantatges els hi proporcionen un alt valor afegit, com versatilitat, durabilitat, una fàcil regeneració de la superfície i integració, simplicitat a l’hora d’incorporar diferents (bio)modificadors o una baixa corrent de fons, entre d’altres. En aquest sentit, aquesta tesi aborda el desenvolupament de sensors nanocompòsits avançats de tipus amperomètrics que, havent sigut optimitzada la seva relació carboni/polímer, poden ser modificats amb un ampli ventall de nanopartícules (NPs) per millorar-ne la seva eficiència electroanalítica. Les propietats elèctriques d’aquests nanocompòsits i, per tant, la seva aplicabilitat analítica, es troben directament influenciades tant per la naturalesa de les partícules conductores com per la quantitat i distribució espacial de les mateixes a través de la matriu polimèrica aïllant. Una de les propietats electroquímiques més importants que envolten a aquests materials, és la similitud del seu comportament electroquímic amb el d’un array de microelèctrodes. Per tant, una optimització de la seva relació carboni/polímer respecte a la naturalesa del material conductor de partida, permetrà assolir una major dispersió de les àrees conductores a través de les zones no conductores, presentant així beneficis similars als d’un array de microelèctrodes. A més, és conegut que alguns paràmetres, tals com la resistivitat del material compost, la transferència electrònica, la robustesa del material i la corrent capacitiva es troben fortament influenciades per la naturalesa física de la mostra de nanotubs de partida, com és la seva relació longitud/diàmetre i la seva puresa, fet que poden influir fortament la resposta electroanalítica final del material transductor. Sota aquest context, la primera etapa de la Tesi va consistir en la implementació d’un conjunt de tècniques instrumentals que, aplicades de manera sistemàtica, han permès la caracterització i la optimització de la composició dels materials nanocompòsits basats en nanotubs de carboni i resina epoxi (Epotek H77) en relació a la naturalesa dels NTCs de partida per a la fabricació de sensors electroquímics més eficients. El protocol de caracterització dut a terme inclou eines elèctriques, electroquímiques, morfològiques, microscòpiques, espectroscòpiques i electro-analítiques. Un cop optimitzada les proporcions de CNT/epoxi, el següent pas va consistir en millorar el rendiment analític d’aquests sensors electroquímics nanocompòsits incorporant-ne diferents NPs per a la introducció d’algun tipus d’efecte electrocatalític. Per arribar a aquesta fita, es va desenvolupar una metodologia simple per a la síntesi d’una amplia gama de NPs. La Síntesi Intermatricial (IMS) va ser utilitzada com a tècnica verda per al disseny de tres rutes diferents que permetin una incorporació personalitzada d’aquestes NPs dintre del material transductor, obtenint així sensors amperomètrics més sensibles a diferents analits. Finalment, els estudis de caracterització i funcionalització implementats en els sensors nanocompòsits basats en NTCs han estat estesos a materials nanocompòsits basats en una altra forma al·lotròpica del carboni: el grafè, el qual és l’últim descobriment en termes de material de carboni nanoestructurat.

Among the wide range of nanocomposites, the incorporation of conducting nanostructured carbon materials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene, into an insulating polymeric matrix is a very attractive way to combine the unique mechanical and electrical properties of individual filler with the advantages of plastics. Concretely, carbon–based nanocomposite materials have played a leading role in the analytical electrochemistry field, particularly in (bio)sensor devices, due to their interesting advantages regarding to a pure conductive material, such as versatility, durability, easy surface regeneration and integration, facile incorporation of a variety of (bio)modifiers or low background current, among others. Accordingly, this thesis tackles the development of advanced amperometric nanocomposite sensors that having been optimized regarding to carbon/polymer composition ratios, can be tunable with different types of nanoparticles (NPs) for improving their electroanalytical efficiency. The electrical properties of these nanocomposites and, therefore, their analytical applicability, are directly influenced by the conducting particles nature and the amount and spatial distribution of them through the insulating polymeric matrix. One of the most important electrochemical properties of these materials is the similarity of their electrochemical behavior with a microelectrode array. Thus, an optimization of the carbon/polymer ratio with respect to the nature of the conducting material will allow to achieve a greater dispersion of the conducting areas through the non-conducting areas, presenting similar benefits to the microelectrode array. In addition, it is known that some parameters, such as composite resistivity, heterogeneous electron transfer rate, material robustness and background capacitance current are strongly influenced by the physical nature of the raw CNT sample, such as their diameter/length ratio and purity, fact that may strongly influences the final electroanalytical response of the transducer material. Under this context, the first step of this thesis consisted of implementing a group of instrumental techniques that, systematically applied, have allowed the characterization and optimization of nanocomposite materials composition based on CNTs and epoxy resin (Epotek H77) in relation to the nature of the raw CNT sample for the fabrication of more efficient electrochemical sensors. The developed characterization protocol includes electrical, electrochemical, morphological, microscopic, spectroscopic and electroanalytical tools. Having been optimized the MWCNT/epoxy composition ratios, the next step consisted of enhancing the analytical performance of these electrochemical nanocomposite sensors introducing some electrocatalytical effect by the incorporation of different NPs. For this goal, a simple methodology for synthesizing a wide range of different NPs has been developed. Intermatrix Synthesis (IMS) has been used as a green technique to design three different routes for CNT/epoxy nanocomposite electrodes modification, which offer a customized way for the preparation of sensitive amperometric sensors. Finally, the characterization and functionalization studies applied for CNT–based electrochemical nanocomposite sensors have been extended for nanocomposite materials based on another allotropic form of carbon: the graphene, which is the last discovery in terms of nanostructured carbon material.

Abstract:
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are a nanofiller that has desirable multifunctional properties. They have been shown to offer improved mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties in composites. Research has been studying their incorporation into polymer composites. Polyamide 12 is a polyamide of interest that has been manufactured to have lower moisture absorption and higher ductility than other commercial polyamides such as 6 and 6,6 at room temperature. In these studies, MWNTs have been incorporated into polyamide 12 at different weight loadings and using MWNTs with differing outer diameters. The composites were melt processed and characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to understand the effects of MWNTs on the crystallization behavior of polyamide 12. A melt peak splitting behavior was observed in the polyamide 12 and composite samples when the specimens were not allowed to fully anneal. Total crystallinity in the samples remained the same between the polyamide 12 and composites when the samples were fully annealed. Total crystallinity increased by 1 to 4 percent in the composites over the polyamide 12 when samples were not fully annealed. The addition of MWNTs to the polyamide 12 system increased the amount of crystallization contained in the lower temperature melting peak. An increase in MWNT concentration resulted in an increase in the crystallinity contained in the lower temperature peak. The addition of smaller diameter MWNTs resulted in a further increase in the lower temperature peak when the outer diameter was below a critical size.

Abstract:
Projection Stereolithography (PSL) is an Additive Manufacturing process that digitally patterns light to selectively expose and layer photopolymer into three dimensional objects. Nanomaterials within the photopolymer are therefore embedded inside fabricated objects. Adding varying concentrations of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) to the photopolymer may allow for the engineering of an objects tensile strength and electric conductivity. This research has two goals (i) the fabrication of three-dimensional structures using PSL and (ii) the material characterization of nanocomposite photopolymers. A morphological matrix design tool was developed and used to categorically analyze published PSL systems. These results were used to justifying design tradeoffs during the design and fabricate of a new PSL system. The developed system has 300μm resolution, 45mm x 25mm fabrication area, 0.23mW/cm2 intensity, and 76.2mm per hour vertical build rate. Nanocomposite materials were created by mixing Objet VeroClear FullCure 810 photopolymer with 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 weight percent MWCNT using non-localized bath sonication. The curing properties of these nanocomposite mixtures were characterized; adding 0.1 weight-percent MWCNT increases the critical exposure by 10.7% and decreases the depth of penetration by 40.1%. The material strength of these nanocomposites were quantified through tensile testing; adding 0.1 weight-percent MWCNT decreases the tensile stress by 45.89%, the tensile strain by 33.33%, and the elastic modulus by 28.01%. Higher concentrations always had exaggerated effects. Electrical conductivity is only measurable for the 0.5 weight-percent nanocomposite with a 8k/mm resistance. The 0.1 weight-percent nanocomposite was used in the PSL system to fabricate a three-dimensional nanocomposite structure.

Abstract:
Ce travail de thèse concerne l’étude de dispersions de nanotubes de carbone (NTC) dans une matrice polymère afin d’obtenir des matériaux nanocomposites avec des propriétés améliorées. Dans la première partie, nous nous sommes intéressés à l’enrobage des NTC par des copolymères à blocs amphiphiles afin de faciliter la dispersion en solution aqueuse. L’influence de la structure chimique, de la composition et de la masse molaire des copolymères sur les propriétés a été étudiée. Dans une deuxième partie, l’incorporation des NTC dans une matrice polymère a été développée. Des procédés par voie aqueuse et par voie fondue ont été choisis afin de contrôler la répartition des NTC dans une matrice modèle de polyoxyde d’éthylène ainsi que dans des de polyéthylène ou de polyméthacrylate de méthyle. L’étude des propriétés physiques, notamment rhéologiques et électriques des nanocomposites à renfort de nanotubes a été réalisée. Ainsi les relations entre l’état des dispersions, la nature de l’enrobage et le mode d’élaboration des composites ont été établies
This work is concerned with the study of carbon nanotubes (CNT) dispersions in a polymer matrix in order to obtain nanocomposite with unique properties. In the first part, we investigated the CNT wrapping by amphiphilic block copolymers to facilitate their suspension in aqueous solution. Based on the results, we could assess the effect on CNT dispersion quality of the molar mass of copolymers, the nature of the hydrophobic block and the length of hydrophilic block. In the second part, the incorporation of CNTs in polymer matrix was developed. Water or melt processing were chosen to control the distribution of CNTs in various polymer matrices (Polyethylene oxide, polyethylene and polymethyl methacrylate) through a prior wrapping of CNT. The studies of physical properties, including rheological and electrical properties, of nanocomposites were undertaken. Relationships between the state of dispersion, the nature of the coating and the method of preparation of composites were established

Abstract:
Carbon nanotube (CNT) composite films are deposited onto stretchable knit fabrics using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and dip-coating techniques, which are industrially scalable processes for producing future wearable sensors. The deposited CNTs create an electrically conductive nanocomposite film on the surface of the fibers. These nanocomposite coated fabrics exhibit piezoresistive properties; under mechanical deformation/stretching, a large change in the electrical resistance is observed. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) functionalized carbon nanotubes deposited using EPD create a uniform, extremely thin porous coating on the fiber. Initial results show ultrahigh sensitivity of the carbon nanotube coated fabric when tested on elbow/knee to detect range of motion. The sensitivity of these sensors is exceptionally high when compared to a typical carbon nanotube-based polymer nanocomposite. The nanocomposite coating does not affect fabric's breathability or flexibility, making the sensor comfortable to wear. Because of these unique properties, tremendous potential exists for their use in functional/smart garments. Changes in electrical resistance for these fabrics are influenced by a combination of electron tunneling between the carbon nanotubes and the microstructure of the fabric. To investigate and characterize the unique sensing mechanism, the nanotube coated knit fabric's electromechanical response is studied at different length scales, from individual yarns to fabric levels. For applications in wearable sensors, the durability of the nanotube coating on the fabric is critical for repeatable and reliable sensing response. Durability testing of the sensing fabric for washing loads was conducted to study the nanotube coating's robustness. CNT coating's adhesion quality is evaluated based on the weight loss in the specimen and loss in electrical conductivity in each wash cycle. This research addresses the potential of these sensors for functional/smart garments by examining the underlying mechanism of the sensor response and the durability of the carbon nanotube coating.

Abstract:
Polymer nanocomposites reinforced by carbon nanotubes, fullerene and nanoparticles have been broadly studied within the last two decades. However, it was recently observed that polymer nanocomposites filled with graphene sheets showed exceptional mechanical and electrical properties. The advantage of graphene sheets over carbon nanotubes in nanocomposites may be related to their high specific surface area, enhanced nanofiller-matrix adhesion/interlocking arising from their wrinkled (rough) surface as well as the two-dimensional geometry of graphene sheets. We have compared the vibration damping properties of epoxy nanocomposite filled with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT), multi-walled nanotubes (MWNT), and graphene platelet (GPL) fillers. Our results show the evidence of Coulomb friction damping in nanocomposites comparing with the pure epoxy.

Abstract:
Nanocomposites made of a hosting polymer matrix integrated with carbon nanotubes as nanofillers exhibit an inherent hysteretic behavior arising from the CNT/matrix frictional sliding. Such stick-slip mechanism is responsible for the high damping capacity of CNT nanocomposites. A full 3D nonlinear constitutive model, framed in the context of the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka theory, reduced to a 1D phenomenological model is shown to describe accurately the CNT/polymer stick-slip hysteresis. The nonlinear hysteretic response of CNT nanocomposite beams is experimentally characterized via displacement-driven tests in bending mode. The force-displacement cycles are identified via the phenomenological model featuring five independent constitutive parameters. A preliminary parametric study highlights the importance of some key parameters in determining the shape of the hysteresis loops. The parameter identification is performed via one of the variants of a genetic-type differential evolution algorithm. The nanocomposites hysteresis loops are identified with reasonably low mean square errors. Such outcome confirms that the 1D phenomenological model may serve as an effective tool to describe and predict the nanocomposite nonlinear hysteretic behavior towards unprecedented material optimization and design.

Abstract:
This paper presents the development of carbon-nanotube-based, polymer composite films that can be used as high-sensitivity strain sensors. The films were fabricated via either melt processing or solution casting of thermoplastic polymer matrices containing low concentrations of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The electrical resistivities of the films were measured in situ using laboratory-designed fixtures and data acquisition system. The measured resistivities were correlated with the applied strains to evaluate the sensitivity of the nanocomposite film sensor. Various types of loading mode, including tension and flexure were considered. The paper suggests that conductive network formation, thus strain sensitivity of the conductive films, can be tailored by controlling nanotube loading, degree of nanotube dispersion, and film fabrication process. The developed sensors exhibited a wide range of sensitivity, the upper limit showing nearly an order of magnitude increase compared to conventional strain gages. Military and industrial applications of the sensitivity-tunable strain sensors are presented.

Abstract:
The machinability of a polycarbonate nanocomposite containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes is investigated and contrasted with its base polymer and with a conventional carbon fiber composite. The material microstructures are characterized using transmission electron and scanning electron microscopy methods. Micro end milling experiments are conducted on the three materials. Chip morphology, machined surface characteristics and the nature of the cutting forces are employed as machinability measures for comparative purposes. Polycarbonate chips are seen to transition from being discontinuous to continuous as the feed-per-tooth (FPT) increases, while, at all FPT values the nanocomposite is seen to form comparatively thicker continuous chips. The nanocomposite and the carbon fiber composite are seen to have the lowest and the highest magnitudes, respectively, for both the surface roughness and cutting forces. Shearing along the nanotube-polymer interface and better thermal conductivity are speculated to be the mechanisms responsible for the observations seen in the nanocomposite.

Abstract:
Carbon nanotubes have been used as an additional reinforcement to enhance mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the structural composites. Thus, it is very important to investigate the mechanical behaviour of such nanocomposites when they undergo external load. In this paper, first, analytical exact solution for effective longitudinal Young’s modulus of a generally orthotropic 3-phase nanocomposite cylinder, representing the 3-dimentional model of a filled single-walled carbon nanotube embedded in another host material is formulated and then used to obtain the analytical exact solutions for displacements, strains, and stress distributions throughout the entire tubular structure corresponding to an axially applied load. The materials of all three cylinders constructing the 3-phase nanocomposite cylinder are considered to be cylindrically generally orthotropic. Next, analytical solutions are examined for a particular cylindrical geometry and material properties. Results are obtained through the thickness of the tubes, i.e., through the radius, and then discussed. To verify the analytical exact solutions, a 3-dimentional finite element analysis of an identical 3-phase nanocomposite structure is performed and some of the results are compared to those obtained analytically. Excellent agreement is achieved validating our analytical solutions.

Abstract:
Sudden concrete failure is due to inelastic deformations of concrete subjected to tension. However, synthesizing nanomaterials reinforcements has significant impact on cement-based composites failure mechanism. Nanomaterials morphology bridges cement crystals as homogeneous and ductile matrix. In this experiment, cement matrix with water to cement ratio of 0.5 reinforced by 0.2–0.6 wt% of functionalized (COOH group) multi-walled and single-walled carbon nanotubes were used. After sonication of carbon nanotubes in water solution for an hour, the cementitious nanocomposites were casted in cylindrical molds (25 mm diameter and 50 mm height). Failure mechanism of cementitious nanocomposite showed considerable ductility throughout splitting tensile test compared to cement mortar. Additionally, the failure pattern after developing the initial crack provided additional time before ultimate failure occurred in cement-based nanocomposites. The evolution of crack propagation was assessed until ultimate specimen failure during splitting-tensile test on cementitious nanocomposite surface. The deformation of cross section from circle to oval shape augmented tensile strength by 50% in cementitious nanocomposite compared to conventional cement mortar.

Full text
Abstract:
The overall goal of this project was to elucidate the role of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil retention, bioavailability and plant uptake of silver and cerium oxide NPs. The environmental risks of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) are attracting increasing attention from both industrial and scientific communities. These NPs have shown to be taken-up, translocated and bio- accumulated in plant edible parts. However, very little is known about the behavior of NPs in soil-plant system as affected by dissolved organic matter (DOM). Thus DOM effect on NPs behavior is critical to assessing the environmental fate and risks related to NP exposure. Carbon-based nanomaterials embedded with metal NPs demonstrate a great potential to serve as catalyst and disinfectors. Hence, synthesis of novel carbon-based nanocomposites and testing them in the environmentally relevant conditions (particularly in the DOM presence) is important for their implementation in water purification. Sorption of DOM on Ag-Ag₂S NPs, CeO₂ NPs and synthesized Ag-Fe₃O₄-carbon nanotubebifunctional composite has been studied. High DOM concentration (50mg/L) decreased the adsorptive and catalytic efficiencies of all synthesized NPs. Recyclable Ag-Fe₃O₄-carbon nanotube composite exhibited excellent catalytic and anti-bacterial action, providing complete reduction of common pollutants and inactivating gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria at environmentally relevant DOM concentrations (5-10 mg/L). Our composite material may be suitable for water purification ranging from natural to the industrial waste effluents. We also examined the role of maize (Zeamays L.)-derived root exudates (a form of DOM) and their components on the aggregation and dissolution of CuONPs in the rhizosphere. Root exudates (RE) significantly inhibited the aggregation of CuONPs regardless of ionic strength and electrolyte type. With RE, the critical coagulation concentration of CuONPs in NaCl shifted from 30 to 125 mM and the value in CaCl₂ shifted from 4 to 20 mM. This inhibition was correlated with molecular weight (MW) of RE fractions. Higher MW fraction (> 10 kDa) reduced the aggregation most. RE also significantly promoted the dissolution of CuONPs and lower MW fraction (< 3 kDa) RE mainly contributed to this process. Also, Cu accumulation in plant root tissues was significantly enhanced by RE. This study provides useful insights into the interactions between RE and CuONPs, which is of significance for the safe use of CuONPs-based antimicrobial products in agricultural production. Wheat root exudates (RE) had high reducing ability to convert Ag+ to nAg under light exposure. Photo-induced reduction of Ag+ to nAg in pristine RE was mainly attributed to the 0-3 kDa fraction. Quantification of the silver species change over time suggested that Cl⁻ played an important role in photoconversion of Ag+ to nAg through the formation and redox cycling of photoreactiveAgCl. Potential electron donors for the photoreduction of Ag+ were identified to be reducing sugars and organic acids of low MW. Meanwhile, the stabilization of the formed particles was controlled by both low (0-3 kDa) and high (>3 kDa) MW molecules. This work provides new information for the formation mechanism of metal nanoparticles mediated by RE, which may further our understanding of the biogeochemical cycling and toxicity of heavy metal ions in agricultural and environmental systems. Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuSNPs) at 1:1 and 1:4 ratios of Cu and S were synthesized, and their respective antifungal efficacy was evaluated against the pathogenic activity of Gibberellafujikuroi(Bakanae disease) in rice (Oryza sativa). In a 2-d in vitro study, CuS decreased G. fujikuroiColony- Forming Units (CFU) compared to controls. In a greenhouse study, treating with CuSNPs at 50 mg/L at the seed stage significantly decreased disease incidence on rice while the commercial Cu-based pesticide Kocide 3000 had no impact on disease. Foliar-applied CuONPs and CuS (1:1) NPs decreased disease incidence by 30.0 and 32.5%, respectively, which outperformed CuS (1:4) NPs (15%) and Kocide 3000 (12.5%). CuS (1:4) NPs also modulated the shoot salicylic acid (SA) and Jasmonic acid (JA) production to enhance the plant defense mechanisms against G. fujikuroiinfection. These results are useful for improving the delivery efficiency of agrichemicals via nano-enabled strategies while minimizing their environmental impact, and advance our understanding of the defense mechanisms triggered by the NPs presence in plants.
