https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.1c07776 “Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising nanofillers to enhance the mechanical performance of polymers. Through catalytic conversion, waste plastics can be converted into CNTs, which could be an alternative to commercial CNTs (cCNTs). Exploring a practical application of waste-plastic-derived CNTs will largely promote the technology development related to waste plastic management and CNT production. In…

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaap.2022.105613 “Producing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from waste plastics could enhance the economic feasibility of the waste management process. Spray pyrolysis is a practical and promising method in this research area. However, the synthesis of CNTs by a spray pyrolysis method is highly reliant on a variety of parameters. Therefore, parameters, including the amount of waste plastics (polypropylene), the catalyst…

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2022.10.003 “Carbon nanotube (CNT), has been demonstrated as a promising high-value product from thermal chemical conversion of waste plastics and securing new applications is an important prerequisite for large-scale production of CNT from waste-plastic recycling. In this study, CNT, produced from waste plastic through chemical vapor deposition (pCNT), was applied as a nanofiller in phase…

Success is earned, one step at a time. One of the most invaluable skills a person can have is being able to clearly express what they want. You have the courage that leads to success. As long as you’re learning, you’ll never fail.  The most successful people don’t look back to see who’s watching. “Our…
