Article Synopsis
  • Researchers successfully combined functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (f-SWCNTs) with a silica matrix using the sol-gel method, leading to the creation of translucent and durable composites.
  • The f-SWCNTs were prepared by a purification and functionalization process to enhance their dispersion in water, and the resulting composites demonstrated significantly increased toughness compared to pure silica.
  • Advanced techniques like nitrogen adsorption and Raman spectroscopy confirmed that the f-SWCNTs interacted effectively with the silica matrix, remaining stable under high pressure.
