Formation of fractal-like structures driven by carbon nanotubes-based collapsed hollow capsules
Article Abstract:
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based hollow capsules are obtained by degradation under acidic conditions of core-shell nanocomposites build up upon adsorption of multilayers of CNTs onto melamine-formaldehyde (MF) spheres. The proposed route for the formation of fractal-like structures is based on the role of the capsules as arrangements of heterogeneities that facilitate the dewetting of the liquid polymeric films.

Fabrication of hollow melamine-formaldehyde microcapsules from microbubble templates
Article Abstract:
A fabrication method for hollow melamine-formaldehyde microcapsules from microbubble templates which helps to determine the conditions for controlling the surface morphology, shell thicknesses, and diameter distribution of hollow microcapsules is presented.
