    Viscoelastic behavior of multiwalled carbon nanotubes into phenolic resin
    (São Carlos : Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2013) Botelho, E.C.; Costa, M.L.; Braga, C.I.; Burkhart, T.; Laukee, B.
    Nanostructured polymer composites have opened up new perspectives for multi-functional materials. In particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have the potential applications in order to improve mechanical and electrical performance in composites with aerospace application. This study focuses on the viscoelastic evaluation of phenolic resin reinforced carbon nanotubes, processed by using two techniques: aqueous-surfactant solution and three roll calender (TRC) process. According to our results a relative small amount of CNTs in a phenolic resin matrix is capable of enhancing the viscoelastic properties significantly and to modify the thermal stability. Also has been observed that when is used TRC process, the incorporation and distribution of CNT into phenolic resin is more effective when compared with aqueous solution dispersion process.

    Magnetic field effects of double-walled carbon nanotubes
    (São Carlos : Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2006) Latgé, A.; Grimm, D.; Ferreira, M.S.
    A theoretical discussion of electronic and transport properties of a particular family of double-wall carbon nanotubes, named commensurate structures of the armchair type (n,n)@(2n,2n) is addressed. A single p-band tight binding hamiltonian is considered and the magnetic field is theoretically described by following the Peierls approximation into the hopping energies. Our emphasis is put on investigating the main effects of the geometrical aspects and relative positions of the tubes on the local density of states and on the conductance of the system. By considering intershell interactions between a set of neighboring atoms on the walls of the inner and outer tubes, we study the possibility of founding Aharonov-Bohm effects in the DWCNs when a magnetic field is applied along the axial direction.
