The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs with diameter in range 10-30 nm) before and after chemical surface functionalisation on macrophages response. has shown that detailed analysis physicochemical properties particular form nanomaterial is a crucial issue interpret properly its cellular Effects (CNTs) characteristics, including purity, dispersity, chemistry dimension upon nature cell environment-material interaction were investigated. Various...
The aim of this study was to assess the influence different types carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on cell phagocytosis. Three kinds nanotubes: single-walled nanohorns (SWCNHs), multiwalled (MWCNTs), and ultra-long (ULSWCNTs) before after additional chemical functionalization were seeded with macrophage culture. Prior biological testing, CNTs subjected dispersion process use phosphate buffered solution (PBS) PBS containing surfactant (Tween 20) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). results indicate that...
The aim of this study was to investigate potential applications milled secondary carbon fibres as a primary filler in conductive polymer composites. examined composites were based on epoxy resin, and selected nanoadditive used filler. Three kinds nanopowders tested: multiwalled nanotubes, graphene nanoplatelets graphitized black. In the first stage experiment, with different percentages order determine electrical conductivity percolation threshold. Subsequently, most composition (70% fibres,...
The aim of the work was to characterise coal tar pitch (CTP) modified with selected nanoparticles as a binder precursor for manufacture synthetic carbon materials. Different factors influencing preliminary preparative steps in preparation homogenous nanoparticle/CTP composition were studied. Graphene flakes, black and nano-sized silicon carbide used modify CTP. Prior introducing them into liquid CTP, subjected sonication. Various dispersants prepare suspensions, i.e. water, ethanol,...
In addition to the many benefits of coal tar pitch, these materials are known contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. For this reason, studies being developed elaborate new, ecologically friendly, alternative binders for carbon–graphite technology. This article presents results wood recovered during thermal degradation selected types woods as in manufacture carbon materials. Two kinds tars obtained from different raw were analyzed. Sawdust conversion makes it possible obtain with a lower...
The aim of this work was to manufacture, using the electrospinning technique, polyacrylonitrile- (PAN-) based carbon nanofibers in form mats for biomedical applications. Carbon obtained by carbonization PAN 1000°C (electrospun (ECNF)) were additionally oxidized air at 800°C under reduced pressure (ECNFV )) . oxidative treatment led partial removal a structurally less-ordered phase from near-surface region nanofibers. Both types fibrous studied scanning electron microscopy (SEM),...
The combination of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology and 3D culture creates a unique possibility for the generation organoids that mimic human organs in vitro cultures. use iPS cells organoid cultures enables differentiation into dopaminergic neurons, also found midbrain. However, long-lasting often cause necrosis within organoids. In this work, we present carbon fibers (CFs) medical as new type scaffold culture, comparing them to previously tested copolymer...
Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used to modify polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer. The PAN/CNT composite fibers spun from dimethylformamide solutions containing different types of CNTs. effect nanotube addition the fiber precursor on resulting mechanical properties is discussed. In this study, we examined relationship rheological PAN spinning various CNTs and tensile strength fibers. presence in solution enhanced its deformability during drawing stage. This resulted a higher nanotubes, as...
