Article Description

The present work primarily contemplates the entrapment of carbon nanotubes (CNT) as nano-filler into chitosan hydrogel beads using the phase inversion method in order to improve thermal stability and chemical resistance. The structural, functional and thermal properties of carbon nanotube entrapped chitosan hydrogel beads (CNTCB) are explored. The XRD pattern and Raman measurements confirm the graphitic nature of the CNT and its structural changes in the case of CNTCB. The SEM, TEM and AFM measurements reveal the successful entrapment of CNT in chitosan hydrogel beads. The FTIR studies and TGA/DTA analysis further support its improved chemical resistance and enhanced thermal stability after the entrapment.
