Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…Bioceramics play an important role in the replacement and regeneration of human tissues, but their intrinsic brittleness and low wear resistance make the monolithic bioceramics still problematic for load-bearing applications. The two dimensional (2D) graphene and one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT), as the secondary strong and tough biocompatible nanofillers, are popular nanocarbons to reinforce bioceramics. …”

Anti-fouling thin film composite (TFC) polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membranes based on piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) substrates by Fu, Jia Shen

“…PVDF layer which is the vibration source does not have direct contact with the feed solution or foulant layer. As such, the effectiveness of its piezoelectric effect in fouling mitigation was still unclear. …”
