Fabrication and Characterization of Magnesium Matrix Nanocomposites Reinforced with Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes
Abstract: Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs)-reinforced magnesium nanocomposites were fabricated through powder metallurgy route and then hot extruded as secondary process. CNTs were added by 0.5, 1 and 1.5 wt% with magnesium powders and ball milled to obtain a homogeneous mixture. The effect on mechanical properties of Mg nanocomposites due to the reinforcement of MWCNTs was investigated. The effect of mixing through high-energy ball milling, sintering temperature and extrusion process on the …

Self-Powered Piezoelectric Nano-Polymer Networks with Embedded Wireless Nodes for Distributed IoT Sensor Platforms
Abstract: Self-powered sensing systems are emerging as a promising solution for next-generation distributed Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, where lightweight, flexible, and low-maintenance devices are required for continuous monitoring. In this work, a self-powered piezoelectric nano-polymer network based on poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) reinforced with BaTiO₃ nanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was developed for flexible wireless sensing applications. The composite was designed to combine mechanical flexibility, enhanced piezoelectric response, and real-time …

Thermally Trigged Self-Healing Smart Shape Memory Polymer Composite
Abstract: Temperature-responsive self-actuating PU/MWCNTs composites were prepared with micro-compounder through in-situ polymerization. For making of 1CNTPU composite sample 1 part per hundred multiwall Carbone nanotubes (MWCNTs) were reinforced into the neat polyurethane (PU) base matrix. Surface characterizations for pure and composite have studying by using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), high resolutions Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Properties like shape recovery, storage modulus, loss modulus, tensile stress, degree of hardness, and flexural stress …

Effect of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes on Compressive Strength of Concrete
Abstract: The objective of the suggested study was to examine the possible application of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as nano reinforcement to improve concrete's compressive strength. Single-walled carbon tubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon tubes (MWCNTs) are two groups of cylindrical-shaped carbon allotropes known as carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Tests are carried out 7, 14, and 28 days after the MWCNTs are reinforced in M20 grade concrete at 0.02% and 0.025% (by weight …
