Abstract: The monodispersion situation of Multi-walled carbon nanotube dispersion is vital for fabricating high quality MWCNT buckypapers with vacuum filtration method. In this paper, the MWCNT buckypapers were fabricated by surfactants Triton-X100, sonication, centrifugation, vacuum filtration, rinsing and annealing processes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Zeta potential results show the maximum achievable separation has been reached. The properties of MWCNTs buckypaper can be characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a four-point probe, N₂ adsorption isotherm, TGA-DSC methods. The results showed that the buckypaper exhibits a low surface and volume density, a high porosity and electric conductivity. The pore diameter is up to 22.02nm, no substantial mass loss below 600°C in air.

Abstract: The membrane emulsification-suspension polymerization (MESP) method was used to synthesize hypercrosslinked microspheres with a narrow size distribution. The resulting polymers possessed large specific surface area (over 1300 m²/g) and their particle size was controllable. The particles were more hydrophilic when using nitrobenzene as solvent instead of 1, 2-dichloroethane in the postcrosslinking process.

Abstract: Chemical reduction of ferric acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)3) and platinum acetylacetonate (Pt(acac)2) using polyol as a reducing agent as well as an effective surfactant, has successfully yielded monodisperse FePt nanoparticles with a size of approximately 2 nm. When annealed samples were compared to FePt nanoparticles synthesized using oleic acid and oleylamine as the surfactants under identical conditions, nearly 30% increase in coercivity (Hc) was achieved with the new, simple and economic method.
