NanoCraft, Inc has made available a new research paper, "Single Wall Nanohorns and High Density Polyethylene Composite made Available" available immediately from this website. It can be downloaded PDF format or Microsoft Doc format. The paper was presented at the 2005 Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) conference, May 1st - 4th.
Abstract:
Single Wall Nanohorns (SWNH) clusters have high surface area and adsorption capability this suggests that they may be good filler materials for composites. Data to characterize SWNH is presented including TEM, TGA, Raman, and X-Ray diffraction. An application of SWNH in a composite is presented. Single Walled Nanohorn (SWNH) / HDPE composites were fabricated using Toshiba ISG 90 Injection Molding Machine with a 42 gram shot capacity and a 82 metric ton clamp tonnage. The SWNH were precoated onto HDPE spheres in ratio of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 5%. Improvement in tensile properties began at 1% loading and tensile properties improved with additional material up to 5% loading.
