Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) synthesized by spray pyrolysis were decorated with cobalt oxide nanoparticles using a simple synthesis route. This wet chemistry method yielded nanoparticles randomly anchored to the surface of the nanotubes by decomposition of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate diluted in acetone. Electron microscopy analysis indicated that dispersed particles were formed on the MWCNTs walls. The average size increased with the increasing concentration of cobalt nitrate in acetone in the precursor mixture. TEM images indicated that nanoparticles were strongly attached to the tube walls. The Raman spectroscopy results suggested that the MWCNT structure was slightly damaged after the nanoparticle growth.

This paper described the preparation of optically active polyurethanes (BPUs)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composites through the high-intensity ultrasound. SEM and TEM observations showed the homogeneous coating of MWCNTs by BPU. The infrared emissivity (8-14μm) study revealed that the composites possessed much lower infrared values compared with those of the polyurethanes and nanotubes, due to the special interface effect. The lowest infrared emissivity values of nanocomposites were S-BPU/MWCNTs εmin=0.461 and R-BPU/MWCNTs εmin=0.418, respectively.

Phosphates are well-known groundwater and surface water contaminants, with even modest increases in their concentration contributing to the eutrophication of lakes and coastal waterways and thus potentially harming the environment....
