Adhesive bonding is frequently used to connect CFRP structures due to its lightweight, easy implementation and high production efficiency. However, the bonding performance of adhesive is far from satisfactory as dimension and complexity of CFRP structures increase. In this paper, a new bonding strategy for CFRP structures via introducing soy protein isolate modified carbon nanotubes (SPI-CNTs) both in the epoxy resin adhesive and on the bonding parts' surface is proposed. Results showed that SPI can effectively improve CNTs' dispersion on the two areas, notably enhancing the bonding performance of the adhesive. When 0.3 wt% SPI-CNTs was added in the adhesive, its adhesive shear strength increased to 12.76 MPa, which was 72 % higher than the unmodified CNTs/epoxy adhesive. Based on this concentration, the SPI-CNTs was deposited uniformly on the surface of the CFRP adherends via bath sonication and resulted in a maximum shear strength of 15.59 MPa, which was 22.2 % greater than the untreated ones. Based on the above condition, the Mode I fracture toughness G 1c and the Mixed-Mode I/II fracture toughness G c could reach a maximum of 0.31 and 0.44 N/mm respectively, which were 117 % and 97 % higher than the pure epoxy adhesive . The present work shows a new pathway for the effective bonding of CFRP structural components used in the aerospace industry.

Developing electroactive materials with superior sensitivity, selectivity, and so on is an important issue for target ions detection. Hierarchically heterostructured nanomaterials represent a kind of promising active materials for electrochemical sensors due to the synthetic effect between different components and the high surface area. Herein, heterostructured UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized via the solvothermal method and investigated for the detection of Pb 2+ ions. The SEM, TEM, XRD and FTIR collectively confirmed that the UIO-66-NH 2 was successfully loaded on the surface of the CNTs. The specific surface areas of the UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs are 4–7 times higher than that of activated CNTs and more mesoporous structures appear in composite materials. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements showed that the concentration of CNTs could influence the electron mobility and the UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs-15 exhibits the lowest charge transfer resistance and the highest capacitive property. The cyclic voltammetry study towards K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] further demonstrated that the CNTs can improve the conductivity of the composites especially for the UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs-15, which was conducive to the sensing behavior confirmed by follow-up performance experiments. Under the optimized condition, UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs-15 exhibits the best sensing performance towards Pb 2+ . Correspondingly, a high sensitivity of 1.64 μA (μmol/L) −1 and a low detection limitation of 0.206 μmol/L (S/N = 3) are achieved. Meanwhile, a wide detection range, excellent selectivity, repeatability, and stability are also obtained. The recovery experiment by standard addition method is also carried out and a satisfactory result has been attained indicating a promising sensor for practical application.

In clinical settings, saliva has been established as a straightforward, noninvasive medium for diagnosing periodontitis. However, the precise diagnosis is often hampered by the absence of a specialized analyzer capable of detecting low concentrations of biomarkers typically found in saliva. In this study, we present a noninvasive, on-site screen-printed biomicrochip specifically engineered for the precise and sensitive quantification of lactate concentrations in saliva, a critical biomarker in the diagnosis of periodontitis. The microchip is constructed using a nanostructured ink formulation that includes MnFe@N-doped carbon nanotubes (MnFe@N-CNTs). These MnFe@N-CNTs exhibit a high degree of graphitization and low electrical resistance, significantly augmenting the electrocatalytic efficiency of the enzymatic reaction of lactate. This results in doubled sensitivity and a detection limit that surpasses those of the current advanced salivary assay methods. Remarkably, within just 30 s, the biomicrochip can quantitatively and precisely measure lactate concentrations in the saliva of 10 patients, which provides valuable insights into the severity of their periodontitis. This biosensor holds excellent potential for large-scale production and could broaden the scope of biomarker recognition, paving the way for the analysis of a wider range of oral diseases.

Flexible two-dimensional nickel-cobalt metal-organic frameworks/graphene oxide/carbon nanotubes hybrid films (2D NiCo-MOF/GO/CNTs) have been designed and prepared as high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials via vacuum filtration. The 2D NiCo-MOF nanosheets serve as the main source of capacitance for the hybrid films, while CNTs function as both the conductive network, enhancing the electrical conductivity of the MOFs, and the binder, linking the 2D NiCo-MOF nanosheets and GO. When the mass ratio of 2D NiCo-MOF, GO, and CNTs is 2:1:0.5, the hybrid film exhibits a high specific capacitance of 40.3 F g-1 at 0.4 A g-1. Furthermore, the film electrode demonstrates outstanding cycling stability, with a capacitance retention of 96.3% after 2000 cycles at 1 A g-1. Notably, the CV curves of the asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) show almost no change after multiple bending, indicating excellent flexibility. Additionally, two devices connected in series can light an LED, demonstrating significant potential for practical applications.

CNTs/Cu-Ti composites were fabricated successfully by spray pyrolysis , low energy ball milling and subsequent hot pressing (HP). Microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were characterized by SEM, EDS, HRTEM , XRD, hardness and tensile tests. The results reveal that in situ generated nano-TiC particles, as a transition phase from CNTs to Cu-Ti matrix, which played a “rivet” role in enhancing the interfacial bonding between the CNTs and Cu-Ti matrix is formed in the composites. Consequently, mechanical properties of the CNTs/Cu-Ti composites are enhanced compared with alloy matrix, and an optimal balance between elevated ultimate tensile strength and impressively larger plastic deformation is achieved by adding 0.4 wt% CNTs in the composites. (ultimate tensile strength (UTS) 352 MPa, elongation 28.2%, the UTS is 39% higher than that of the Cu-Ti alloy, and the ductility increased significantly by 62%.) Finally, strengthening and toughening mechanisms are discussed. This study provides new insights into the interface structure and strength-ductility in metal-matrix composites.

Upcycling waste plastics into valuable products for eliminating hazardous contaminants in aquatic matrixes represents an attractive approach to addressing the urgent environmental crisis. Herein, the magnetic FeNi@CNTs chainmail catalysts were successfully fabricated from waste plastics via catalytic pyrolysis and employed for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation to efficiently degrade norfloxacin (NOR) during the advanced oxidation process. Results revealed that the amount of metal loading played a critical role in the physicochemical properties and catalytic activities of FeNi@CNTs. The optimal NOR removal efficiency (100%) was achieved via FeNi30@CNTs with moderate metal content, which was attributed to the synergy between metal core and CNTs shell. Fe-Ni alloy not only catalyzed the growth of CNTs, but also activated PMS to generate more reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, CNTs acted as quick electron transfer routes to speed up the catalytic reactions and protected the metal core from agglomeration. However, excess metal led to the agglomeration of particles outside CNTs, thus inhibiting NOR degradation. Moreover, FeNi30@CNTs exhibited good stability and reusability during the cyclic experiments. The possible mechanism was deeply discussed by quenching experiments, EPR, XPS, and LC-MS characterizations. This study provides a novel route of waste-to-waste remediation, making FeNi@CNTs an inexpensive and sustainable candidate in antibiotic degradation, and simultaneously opens up a new perspective to alleviate the environmental problems caused by waste plastics.

Four types of Pt/C catalysts were synthesized by depositing platinum on various carbon materials, including graphene, graphitic carbon nitride, activated carbon, and carbon nanotubes. The microscopic structure and physicochemical properties of these catalysts were analyzed using different techniques such as TEM, XRD, BET, TGA, and XPS. The results indicated that platinum predominantly existed in the form of nanoparticles on graphene, graphitic carbon nitride, and carbon nanotubes. The performance of the catalysts in catalyzing CO oxidation was evaluated, and Pt/CNTs exhibited the highest efficiency compared to other catalysts. At a temperature of 170 °C, the conversion efficiency of CO on Pt/CNTs reached 96.5%. In situ DRIFTS experiments were performed, which did not show any peaks of CO adsorption on the surface of Pt/CNTs. Therefore, the oxidation of CO on Pt/CNTs was presumed to proceed via the Eley–Rideal (ER) mechanism. O2 was adsorbed and activated on Pt NPs to form a Pt NP–O–O*–CO structure with CO, which then decomposed to yield CO2 and an activated oxygen species (O*). Finally, O* reacted with CO again to produce CO2, completing the catalytic cycle.

Graphene oxide/ carbon nanotubes (GO/CNTs) aerogels were prepared by adjusting the proportion of GO and CNTs, the corresponding reduced graphene oxide/CNTs (rGO/CNTs) aerogels were obtained by thermal reduction. Then, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT: PSS) was compounded with rGO/CNTs aerogels at a mass ratio of 1:1 to prepare rGO/CNTs/PEDOT: PSS (GCP) composites. Structural analyses revealed the strong π-π interaction between rGO/CNTs and PEDOT: PSS, which leads to the formation of ordered regions. Porous structures of rGO/CNTs aerogels act as conductive network skeleton to promote carrier transport in GCP composites, and the electrical conductivity of GCP composites improves effectively. The optimal electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of GCP5 were 1788.11 S cm −1 and 15.87 μV K −1 respectively. The maximum power factor and ZT merit of GCP5 achieved to 45.03 μW m −1 K −2 and 2.65 × 10 −2 at room temperature, which was almost 43 and 17 times than that of PEDOT: PSS.

This work obtained separation membranes with UV-cleaning performance by adding TiO 2 -g-CS/CNTs photocatalyst to the PVDF . The positively charged chitosan (CS) and negatively charged carboxylic carbon nanotube (CNTs-COOH) can be self-assembled into the bilayer structure on the surface of TiO 2 particles through electrostatic attraction. The presence of many hydrophilic groups in CS and CNTs-COOH significantly improves the hydrophilicity of TiO 2 -g-CS/CNTs-PVDF membrane, and helps TiO 2 to be uniformly dispersed on the upper surface. TiO 2 -g-CS/CNTs promote the change of pore structure and expand the flux of the modified membrane to 4.5 times that of pure PVDF . Zeta potential demonstrates that the TiO 2 -g-CS particles successfully attracted CNTs in the PVDF matrix, and the membrane surface was still positively charged. Thus, the combined effect of the positively charged TiO 2 -g-CS and the highly adsorbed CNTs enhanced the retention of the contaminants. More importantly, there is a charge transfer between the grafted CS and TiO 2 interface to obtain a broader light absorption band. The excitation carriers provided by CNTs significantly contribute to the photocatalytic performance after transfer between TiO 2 and CS; thus, TiO 2 -g-CS/CNTs-PVDF produces higher photocatalytic activity for dye molecules (degradation rate > 97 %).

Polyurethane elastomer (PUE) is extensively used for impact protection owing to commendable strength and toughness. However, PUE suffers from insufficient energy absorption and easy cracking under high-speed impact. Herein, hybrid nanomaterials (MMT/CNTs), formed by combining functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and organically modified montmorillonite (MMT) through ionic bonding, were incorporated into PUE, which enhances the impact resistance significantly under high-speed conditions. The enhancement of the impact resistance of the PUE composites was ascribed to the hybridization of CNTs and MMT, which facilitated the dispersion of each other in the matrix. Meanwhile, the CNTs anchored in the MMT interlayer can effectively support the interlayer space and promote internal stress and heat transfer. The results revealed that incorporating CNTs expanded MMT's interlayer spacing to 3.84 nm. Compared to pure PUE, the composites containing 2 wt% MMT/CNTs showed an increase in compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, dynamic compressive strength, and energy absorption by 61.0%, 111.6%, 73.8%, and 49.0%, respectively. This work shows that the PUE-MMT/CNTs is expected to be used as a high-performance impact-resistant material in aerospace, military defense, and other high-speed impact fields.

Photocatalytic technology is one of the promising technologies for wastewater treatment. Herein, zinc oxide/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (ZnO/CNTs) photocatalyst was successfully prepared by hydrothermal method with combining in-situ synthesis technology. The micro-morphology, crystalline structure, surface chemical elements, and optical properties were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis, and DRS technologies. The ZnO/CNTs photo-catalyst exhibited enhancement photo activity for degradation of organic pollutants under simulated light irradiation. Specifically, the photo-catalytic activity of the ZnO/CNTs catalysts improved with the rise of CNTs content in the composites. Investigation on the photo-degradation mechanism verified that the presence of CNTs in the catalyst not only optimized the band structure of ZnO semiconductor but also contributed to the transfer of photo-generated electrons and reducing the recombination of electron-hole pairs due to its excellent conductivity. Moreover, the active radical groups such as superoxide radical (O-2), hole (h+), and hydroxyl radical (·OH) played the dominated role for the pollutants degradation under the simulated sunlight irradiation. In addition, ZCT20 catalysts and light irradiation had synergistic effects on antibacterial activity, whose antibacterial rates against E. coli and S. aureus were up to 99.96% and 99.94%, respectively. Investigation on antibacterial mechanisms revealed that the existence of ROS and the continuous release of Zn2+ played an important role for improving the antibacterial activity of the ZCT20 catalyst under the simulated sunlight irradiation.
