THE PREPARATION OF SOLVENT-FREE MULTIWALL CARBON NANOTUBES/SILICA HYBRID NANOMATERIAL WITH LIQUID-LIKE BEHAVIOR

The solvent-free hybrid nanomaterial consisting of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and silica nanoparticles are prepared by a facile route. The content of MWNTs/silica nanoparticles is up to 20 wt.%. The hybrid nanomaterial exhibits liquid-like behavior in the absence of solvent at room temperature.
