Abstract
The rapid advancement of electronic communication technology has greatly aided human productivity and quality of life, but it has also resulted in significant electromagnetic pollution issues. Traditional metals and alloys are often used for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding due to their excellent electrical conductivity. However, they have drawbacks such as being heavy, expensive, and having low corrosion resistance, which limits their application in electromagnetic shielding. Therefore, it is crucial to develop novel EMI shielding materials. Polymers, being highly flexible, corrosion-resistant, and possessing high specific strength, are frequently employed in electromagnetic shielding materials. In this review, we firstly introduce the basic theory of electromagnetic shielding. Then, we outline the processing methods and recent developments of polymer-based electromagnetic shielding composites, including uniform-, foam-, layered-, and segregated structures. Lastly, we present the challenges and prospects for the field, aiming to provide direction and inspiration for the study of polymer-based electromagnetic shielding composite materials.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensors consisting of screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) are recurrent devices in the recent literature for applications in different fields of interest and contribute to the expanding electroanalytical chemistry field. This is due to inherent characteristics that can be better (or only) achieved with the use of SPEs, including miniaturization, cost reduction, lower sample consumption, compatibility with portable equipment, and disposability. SPEs are also quite versatile; they can be manufactured using different formulations of conductive inks and substrates, and are of varied designs. Naturally, the analytical performance of SPEs is directly affected by the quality of the material used for printing and modifying the electrodes. In this sense, the most varied carbon nanomaterials have been explored for the preparation and modification of SPEs, providing devices with an enhanced electrochemical response and greater sensitivity, in addition to functionalized surfaces that can immobilize biological agents for the manufacture of biosensors. Considering the relevance and timeliness of the topic, this review aimed to provide an overview of the current scenario of the use of carbonaceous nanomaterials in the context of making electrochemical SPE sensors, from which different approaches will be presented, exploring materials traditionally investigated in electrochemistry, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon black, and those more recently investigated for this (carbon quantum dots, graphitic carbon nitride, and biochar). Perspectives on the use and expansion of these devices are also considered.

Abstract
One-dimensional multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have unique electrical properties, but they are not solution-processable, which severely limits their applications in microelectronic devices. Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the solubility of MWNTs and endow them with new functions by chemical modification. In this work, MWNTs were in situ functionalized with poly[(1,4-diethynyl-benzene)-alt-(3-hexylthiophene)] (PDHT) via Sonogashira-Hagihara polymerization. The obtained material PDHT-g-MWNTs was soluble in conventional organic solvents. By sandwiching a PDHT-g-MWNTs film between Al and ITO electrodes, the fabricated Al/PDHT-g-MWNTs/ITO electronic device exhibited nonvolatile rewritable memory behavior, with highly symmetrical turn-on/off voltages, a retention time of over 104 s, and durability for 200 switching cycles. These findings provide important insights into the development of carbon nanotube-based materials for information storage.

Abstract
Since the isolation of graphene, there have been boundless pursuits to exploit the many superior properties that this material possesses; nearing the two-decade mark, progress has been made, but more is yet to be done for it to be truly exploited at a commercial scale. Porous graphene (PG) has recently been explored as a promising membrane material for polymer composite fibres. However, controlling the incorporation of high surface area PG into polymer fibres remain largely unexplored. Additionally, most polymer-graphene composites suffer from low production rates and yields. In this paper, graphene-loaded microfibres, which can be produced at a very high rate and yield have been formed with a carrier polymer, polycaprolactone. For the first time, PG has been incorporated into polymer matrices produced by a high-output manufacturing process and analysed via multiple techniques; scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Raman spectra showed that single layer graphene structures were achieved, evidence for which was also backed up by the other techniques. Fibres with an average diameter ranging from 3-8 μm were produced with 3-5 wt% PG. Here, we show how PG can be easily processed into polymeric fibres, allowing for widespread use in electrical and ultrafiltration systems.

Abstract
Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol/surfactant-free single-walled carbon nanotube (PVA/SF-SWNT) nanocomposites were synthesized by a facile solution-cast technique. The effect of SF-SWNT on the structural, surface-morphological, mechanical, electrical, and electrochemical properties of the nanocomposite was studied. The surface morphology and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy demonstrate an increased degree of interaction between PVA and SF-SWNT resulting in improved mechanical strength of the nanocomposite. Incorporation of SF-SWNT was found to improve the DC electrical conductivity by almost five orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the effect of SWNT on the electrochemical properties of the nanocomposite was also studied. The PVA/SF-SWNT composite exhibits specific capacitance as high as 26.4 F g−1 at a current density 0.5 mA g−1, which is four times higher than that of PVA (6.1 F g−1). The impedance spectroscopy analysis reveals that the incorporation of SWNT reduces the charge transfer resistance of the nanocomposites resulting in better capacitive performance.

Abstract
To solve the problem of excessive heat accumulation in the electronic packaging field, a novel series of hybrid filler (BN@CNT) with a hierarchical “line-plane” structure was assembled via a condensation reaction between functional boron nitride(f-BN) and acid treated carbon nanotubes (a-CNTs). The reactions with different mass ratios of BN and CNTs and the effect of the obtained hybrid filler on the composites’ thermal conductivity were studied. According to the results, BN@15CNT exhibited better effects on promoting thermal conductivity of polybenzoxazine(PBz) composites which were prepared via ball milling and hot compression. The thermally conductive coefficient value of PBz composites, which were loaded with 25 wt% of BN@15CNT hybrid fillers, reached 0.794 W· m−1· K−1. The coefficient value was improved to 0.865 W· m−1· K−1 with 15 wt% of BN@15CNT and 10 wt% of BN. Although CNTs were adopted, the PBz composites maintained insulation. Dielectric properties and thermal stability of the composites were also studied. In addition, different thermal conduction models were used to manifest the mechanism of BN@CNT hybrid fillers in enhancing thermal conductivity of PBz composites.

Abstract
Although the multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) is a promising material for use in the production of high electrical conductivity (σ) polymer nanocomposites, its tendency to aggregate and distribute randomly in a polymer matrix is a problematic issue. In the current study, we developed a highly conductive and monoclinically aligned MWNT-polyamide 6 (PA) nanocomposite containing interfacing flavin moieties. In this system, the flavin mononucleotide (FMN) initially serves as a noncovalent aqueous surfactant for individualizing MWNTs in the form of FMN-wrapped MWNTs (FMN-MWNT), and then partially decomposed FMN (dFMN) induces crystallization of the PA on the MWNTs. The results of experiments performed using material subjected to partial dissolution of PA matrix show that the nanocomposite PA-dFMN-MWNT, formed by melt extrusion of PA and dFMN-MWNT, contains a three-dimensional monoclinic MWNT network embedded in an equally monoclinic PA matrix. An increase in monoclinic network promoted by an increase in the content of MWNT increases σ of the nanocomposite up to 100 S/m, the highest value reported for a polymer-MWNT nanocomposite. X-ray diffraction along with transmission electron microscopy reveal that the presence of dFMN induces the formation of monoclinic PA on dFMN-MWNT. The high σ of the PA-dFMN-MWNT nanocomposite is also a consequence of a minimization of defect formation of MWNT by noncovalent functionalization. Hierarchical structural ordering, yet individualization of MWNTs, provides a viable strategy to improve the physical property of nanocomposites.

Incorporation of F-MWCNTs into electrospun nanofibers regulates osteogenesis through stiffness and nanotopography. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 106:110163.

Abstract
Nanotopography and stiffness are major physical cues affecting cell fate. However, the current nanofiber modifications techniques are limited by their ability to control these two physical cues irrespective of each other without changing the materials' surface chemistry. For this reason, the isolated effects of topography and stiffness on osteogenic regulation in electrospun nanofibers have been studied incompletely. Here, we investigated 1. how functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (F-MWCNTs) loaded in Polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers control their physical properties and 2. whether the resulting unique structures lead to distinctive phenotypes in bone progenitor cells. Changes in material properties were measured by high-resolution electron microscopes, protein adsorption and tensile tests. The effect of the developed structures on human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) osteogenic differentiation was determined by extensive quantification of early and late osteogenic marker genes. It was found that F-MWCNT loading was an effective method to independently control the PCL nanofiber surface nanoroughness or stiffness, depending on the applied F-MWCNT concentration. Collectively, this suggests that stiffness and topography activate distinct osteogenic signaling pathway. The current strategy can help our further understanding of the mechano-biological responses in osteoprogenitor cells, which could ultimately lead to improved design of bone substitute biomaterials.

Abstract
The effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) functionalization in altering the properties of Epoxy-CNT composites is presented. The presence of functional groups effectively influenced the colloidal behavior of CNTs in the precursor epoxy resin and the hardener triethylenetetramine (TETA), which affected the synthesis process and eventually the interfacial interactions between the polymer matrix and the CNTs. The physical, thermal and electrical properties of the composites exhibited strong dependence on the nature of functionalization. At a 0.5 wt% CNTs loading, the enhancement in tensile strength was found to be 7.2, 11.2, 11.4 and 14.2 percent for raw CNTs, carboxylated CNTs, octadecyl amide functionalized CNTs and hydroxylated CNTs, respectively. Glass transition temperatures (Tg) also varied with the functionalization and composite prepared using hydroxylated CNTs showed the maximum enhancement of 34%.

Abstract
Conductive rubber nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing conductive nanotubes (CNT) in thermoreversibly cross-linked ethylene propylene rubbers grafted with furan groups (EPM-g-furan) rubbers. Their features were studied with a strong focus on conductive and mechanical properties relevant for strain-sensor applications. The Diels-Alder chemistry used for thermoreversible cross-linking allows for the preparation of fully recyclable, homogeneous, and conductive nanocomposites. CNT modified with compatible furan groups provided nanocomposites with a relatively large tensile strength and small elongation at break. High and low sensitivity deformation experiments of nanocomposites with 5 wt % CNT (at the percolation threshold) displayed an initially linear sensitivity to deformation. Notably, only fresh samples displayed a linear response of their electrical resistivity to deformations as the resistance variation collapsed already after one cycle of elongation. Notwithstanding this mediocre performance as a strain sensor, the advantages of using thermoreversible chemistry in a conductive rubber nanocomposite were highlighted by demonstrating crack-healing by welding due to the joule effect on the surface and the bulk of the material. This will open up new technological opportunities for the design of novel strain-sensors based on recyclable rubbers.

Abstract
A series of poly(aryl ether ketone) polymers containing phthalonitrile with relatively high molecular weights showed good film formation and toughness to be the good candidate for matrix of functional composites. To develop the application of bisphthalonitrile resins in the conductive composite membrane materials field, the phthalonitrile resin/multiwalled carbon nanotubes conductive composite membranes were prepared by the solution blending method. The conductive composite membranes have low percolation threshold (0.25 vol.%) and excellent conductive properties. With 0.79% weight fraction of carbon nanotubes, the cross-linking membrane shows a great enhancement in mechanical properties. They have the potential to be alternative candidates in the field of high-temperature, conductive composite membrane materials.

Abstract
Thermoplastic polymers like polyolefins, polyesters, polyamide, and styrene polymers are the most representative commodity plastics thanks to their cost-efficient manufacturing processes, excellent thermomechanical properties and their good environmental compatibility, including easy recycling. In the last few decades much effort has been devoted worldwide to extend the applications of such materials by conferring on them new properties through mixing and blending with different additives. In this latter context, nanocomposites have recently offered new exciting possibilities. This review discusses the successful use of nanostructured dispersed substrates in designing new stimuli-responsive nanocomposites; in particular, it provides an updated description of the synthetic routes to prepare nanostructured systems having the typical properties of thermoplastic polymers (continuous matrix), but showing enhanced optical, conductive, and thermal features dependent on the dispersion topology. The controlled nanodispersion of functional labeled clays, noble metal nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes is here evidenced to play a key role in producing hybrid thermoplastic materials that have been used in the design of devices, such as NLO devices, chemiresistors, temperature and deformation sensors.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are regarded as ideal filler materials for polymeric fiber reinforcement due to their exceptional mechanical properties and 1D cylindrical geometry (nanometer-size diameter and very high aspect ratio). The reported processing conditions and property improvements of CNT reinforced polymeric fiber are summarized in this review. Because of CNT polymer interaction, polymer chains in CNTs' vicinity (interphase) have been observed to have more compact packing, higher orientation, and better mechanical properties than bulk polymer. Evidences of the existence of interphase polymers in composite fibers, characterizations of their structures, and fiber properties are summarized and discussed. Implications of interphase phenomena on a broader field of fiber and polymer processing to make much stronger materials are now in the early stages of exploration. Beside improvements in tensile properties, the presence of CNTs in polymeric fibers strongly affects other properties, such as thermal stability, thermal transition temperature, fiber thermal shrinkage, chemical resistance, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. This paper will be helpful to better understand the current status of polymer/CNT fibers, especially high-performance fibers, and to find the most suitable processing techniques and conditions.

Controlling exfoliation in order to minimize damage during dispersion of long SWCNTs for advanced composites. Sci Rep 2014; 4:3907.

Abstract
We propose an approach to disperse long single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in a manner that is most suitable for the fabrication of high-performance composites. We compare three general classes of dispersion mechanisms, which encompass 11 different dispersion methods, and we have dispersed long SWCNTs, short multi-wall carbon nanotubes, and short SWCNTs in order to understand the most appropriate dispersion methods for the different types of CNTs. From this study, we have found that the turbulent flow methods, as represented by the Nanomizer and high-pressure jet mill methods, produced unique and superior dispersibility of long SWCNTs, which was advantageous for the fabrication of highly conductive composites. The results were interpreted to imply that the biaxial shearing force caused an exfoliation effect to disperse the long SWCNTs homogeneously while suppressing damage. A conceptual model was developed to explain this dispersion mechanism, which is important for future work on advanced CNT composites.
