Unveiling the Extraordinary Applications of Carbon Nanotubes

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Remarkable applications of Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) are already uncountable, but their potential is undoubtedly yet to be fully developed. Therefore, we welcome submissions from Applied Sciences, Fluids, Materials, Nanomaterials and Polymers that reveal the huge potential of CNT, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Development and application of novel tailored CNT-based (nano)materials;
• Development and application of CNT-based building blocks in the design of (mechanical, thermal, optical, magnetic, chemical, and biological) sensors;
• Development and application of CNT and CNT-based (nano)materials in (electro)catalysis;
• Development and application of CNT in analytical chemistry (e.g., pre-concentration and clean-up schemes, etc.);
• Development and application of CNT for environmental sustainability (e.g., water quality control and treatment, adsorption of contaminants, desalinization, etc.);
• Development and application of CNT and CNT-based (nano)materials in materials science;
• Development and application of CNT and CNT-based (nano)materials in drug delivery systems;
• Development and application of CNT and CNT-based (nano)materials in biomedical imaging;
• Advances in CNT and CNT-based (nano)materials synthesis and characterization;
• Advances in CNT non-covalent functionalization and covalent functionalization;
• Advances in tailoring CNT-based nanohybrids and nanocomposites.

The optimal process conditions for fabricating carbon nanotube (CNT)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers with varying properties using a wet spinning process were experimentally determined. A dope solution was prepared using multi-walled nanotubes, PVDF, and dimethylacetamide, and appropriate materials were selected. Design parameters affecting the chemical and physical properties of CNT/PVDF fibers, such as bath concentration, bath temperature, drying temperature, and elongation, were determined using a response surface method. The wet-spinning conditions were analyzed based on the tensile strength and electrical conductivity of the fibers using an analysis of variance and interaction analysis. The optimized process conditions for fabricating CNT/PVDF fibers with different properties were derived and verified through fabrication using the determined design parameters. Full article
