โฆ Synopsis
Transparent multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) networks were irradiated by Ar and H ion beams at 800 K which increased the electrical conductivities of the networks. For networks with transmittances between 40% and 65% at 550 nm, the conductivities could be doubled by H ion irradiation. This increase is ascribed to the formation of covalent bond

Silica-coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT@SiO 2 ) were synthesized by a sol-gel method and then incorporated into an epoxy matrix. The less stiff silica intermediate shell on the MWCNTs not only alleviates the modulus mismatch between the stiff MWCNTs and the soft epoxy, but also improves t
