Nano-sized mesoporous carbon particles with bimodal pore system and semi-crystalline porous walls
2008
Acetylene CVD carbon replication of a hierarchical pore silica-based material, Fe-UVM-7, is reported. The original template organization, which is based on the aggregation of mesoporous nanoparticles, is accurately replicated in the final carbon material: a bimodal porous carbon combining mesoporous nanoparticles and inter-particle textural-like pores which provide high surface area, a highly accessible pore system and semi-crystalline pore walls in the form of graphitic-like nanodomains is presented.
Effects of functionalized carbon nanotubes in peroxide crosslinking of diene elastomers
2009
Abstract The crosslinking reaction of ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer (EPDM) peroxide vulcanization filled with pristine and functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs and S/CNTs) was evaluated by rheometric tests. The functionalization of CNTs was carried out by diazonium salt methodology in acid medium. S/CNTs were characterised by means of TGA, EDX, Raman and elemental analysis. Pristine CNTs were found to gradually increase the delta torque as a function of loading fraction. Nevertheless, the vulcanization time, scorch and optimum cure time hardly varied on addition of CNTs. However, S/CNTs noticeably affected the cure process, reducing the vulcanization time and delta torque. This effec…
