Phagocytosis Activity

Multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) has been broadly used in several sectors of society. This material when exposed to the environment might reach the aquatic animals and cause toxic effects. Here, it was evaluated the MWCNTs toxicity in melanomacrophages primary culture that was submitted to 1 µ gm L-1 MWCNTs for 24 hours. After exposition to MWCNT, 48 and 59% liver and spleen melanomacrophages were healthy, respectively. The control group presented 85% viability. Phagocytosis activity of melanomacrophages was observed by presence of black inclusions in cytoplasm. The findings indicate MWCNT was cytotoxic to melanomacrophages, where its release and effect into aquatic environment must be more studied. Finally, the melanomacrophages present large potential as experimental model for evaluation of carbon-based nanomaterial toxicity.

Torsional Load

The buckling of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under torsional load coupling with temperature change is researched. The effects of torsional load, temperature change, surrounding elastic medium, and van der Waals forces between the inner and outer nanotubes are taken into account at the same time. Using continuum mechanics, an elastic multishell model with thermal effect is presented for buckling of a multiwalled carbon nanotube embedded in an elastic matrix under thermal environment and torsional load. Based on the model, numerical results for the general case are obtained for the thermal effect on buckling of a multiwalled carbon nanotube under torsional load. It is shown that the buckling torque of a multiwalled carbon nanotube under a certain value of temperature change is dependent on the wave number of torsional buckling modes, and a conclusion is drawn that at room or lower temperature the critical torsional load for infinitesimal buckling of a multiwalled carbon nanotube increases as the value of temperature change increases, while at temperature higher than room temperature the critical torsional load for infinitesimal buckling of a multiwalled carbon nanotube decreases as the value of temperature change increases.

Despite manufacturers’ goal of molding single component products from plastics, the structures of some of the products are far too complex to be molded as a single piece. Therefore, assembly of subcomponents into the final products is important for the manufacturing of many plastic-based products. To date, welding is the most efficient joining method for plastics. In this study, multiwalled carbon nanotubes were proposed as the susceptor for the microwave welding of high-density polyethylene considering multiwalled carbon nanotube is a good microwave absorber. multiwalled carbon nanotubes were first dispersed in ethanol in an ultrasonic bath to obtain a homogeneous dispersion. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes dispersion was dropped on the targeted area of the prepared dumbbell-shaped sample and dried in an oven at 45°C for 30 min. The sample was then subjected to 800 W microwave irradiation in the domestic microwave oven. The strength of the weld was tested by using tensile testing. Besides, the cross section of the welded joint was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy. The effect of microwave heating duration and the multiwalled carbon nanotube concentration in the dispersion were studied. It was found that the joint strength increased as the heating duration increase from 2 s to 8 s but decreased when the heating duration was further extended to 10 s. Scanning electron microscopic images showed that voids were formed at the joint interface when 10 s was used and resulted in the lowering of joint strength. In the study of the effect of the multiwalled carbon nanotube concentration in the dispersion, joint strength increased when the multiwalled carbon nanotubes concentration increased from 0.25 wt% to 0.75 wt%. However, the joint strength of sample with 1.00 wt% multiwalled carbon nanotube concentration decreased. The presence of a thick unwelded multiwalled carbon nanotubes layer at the joint interface for sample with 1.00 wt% multiwalled carbon nanotubes concentration as shown in scanning electron microscopic image was believed to cause the lowering of joint strength.

In this article, multiwalled carbon nanotube/natural rubber composites with resistance-strain sensitivity were prepared by solution method, when the electrical percolation threshold of multiwalled carbon nanotube is only ∼3.5 wt%. The mechanical properties and resistance-strain response sensitivity were studied and analyzed systematically. The dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in the natural rubber matrix was characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffractometer. The composite exhibits good deformation sensitivity (gauge factor >27), large strain sensing range (>200%), and high signal stability when multiwalled carbon nanotube content was appropriate. The composite is suited to application in strain monitoring of large deformation structures since the resistance-strain response is more stable when strain exceeds 100%. To understand the mechanism of the resistance-strain response, the ‘shoulder peak’ of resistance-strain curve was researched and explained by the digital image correlation method, and an analytical model was developed when considering the effects of electronic tunneling and hopping in multiwalled carbon nanotube networks. Both experiment and analytical results confirm the break-restructure process of multiwalled carbon nanotube networks under applied strain cause the resistance-strain response. Finally, the practical application of the composite to monitoring strain load of rubber isolation bearing was realized.
