The polyol process was used for the synthesis of cuprous oxide-multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) reinforced nanocomposite. During synthesis process the pristine MWCNTs were purified and functionalized using HNO3. In this process copper acetate mono hydrate was used as Cu precursor. Limited supply of oxygen resulted in copper oxidation and cuprous oxide was formed. The copper oxide matrix was reinforced with different weight percentages of MWCNTs, varying from 1% to 3%. FTIR analysis of activated MWCNTs showed the attachment of functional groups. Variation in the morphology and size of cuprous oxide was noted with different content of MWCNTs. A change in resistance of nanocomosites was also reported here with varying percentage of MWCNTs..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
