Abstract
A bio buckypaper synthesized with fish scales may be manufactured by mixing carrageenan with a bio waste solution to provide a first mixture, adding carbon nanotubes to the first mixture produce a second mixture, sonicating the second mixture, and evaporative-casting the second mixture to produce the bio buckypaper. In an embodiment, the carrageenan may be τ-carrageenan. In an embodiment, the carbon nanotubes may be single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). In an embodiment, the bio waste solution may be derived from fish scales.
Claims9
A method of synthesis of bio buckypaper, comprising:
- synthesizing a bio waste solution from fish scales, wherein the bio waste solution is synthesized by adding about 30 mg to about 75 mg powdered fish scales into a boiling solution of about 15 ml to about 50 ml ethanol and deionized water (1:9 v/v);
- mixing a carrageenan with the bio waste solution to provide a first mixture;
- adding carbon nanotubes to the first mixture to produce a second mixture;
- sonicating the second mixture;
- and
- evaporative-casting the second mixture to produce bio buckypaper.
