A Manufacturing Perspective on Graphene Dispersions (2015)
Journal Article
Johnson, D., Dobson, B., & Coleman, K. (2015). A Manufacturing Perspective on Graphene Dispersions. Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science, 20(5-6), 367-382. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cocis.2015.11.004

Harnessing the exceptional physical properties of graphene often requires its dispersion into aqueous or organic media. Dispersion must be achieved at a concentration and stability appropriate to the final application. However, the strong interaction...

Exploring the alignment of carbon nanotubes dispersed in a liquid crystal matrix using coplanar electrodes (2015)
Journal Article
Volpati, D., Massey, M., Johnson, D., Kotsialos, A., Qaiser, F., Pearson, C., …Petty, M. (2015). Exploring the alignment of carbon nanotubes dispersed in a liquid crystal matrix using coplanar electrodes. Journal of Applied Physics, 117(12), Article 125303. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4916080

We report on the use of a liquid crystalline host medium to align single-walled carbon nanotubes in an electric field using an in-plane electrode configuration. Electron microscopy reveals that the nanotubes orient in the field with a resulting incre...
