| Abstract | Carbon nanotubes/chitosan (CNTs/CHI) composite foams with ordered lamellar structure were prepared by unidirectionally freezing a dispersion of CNTs in chitosan aqueous solution and subsequent freeze drying. The structure and thermal stability of the composite foams have been characterized by wide-angle X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetry analysis. And their elastic behaviors were investigated by cyclic compression tests. The produced CNTs/CHI composite foams have better recoverability and improved elastic properties compared with the pure chitosan foams. Freezing rate, fraction of CNTs and density are the important factors affecting on the micro morphology, elasticity and mechanical strength of CNTs/CHI composite foams. Due to less ice dendrites and thicker lamellas being formed under low freezing rate, the CNTs/CHI composite foams prepared under low freezing rate (6 mm min(-1)) possesses better mechanical properties than those prepared under high freezing rate (10 cm min(-1)). With the increasing CNTs fraction, the recovery ability of CNTs/CHI composite increases and achieves the maximum at a critical point, and then decreases dramatically due to the inadequate chitosan matrix and aggregation of CNTs. The critical point herein appears at the CNTs fraction ≥ 0.5 and ≥ 0.3, respectively, for the samples with density of 0.02 and 0.01 g cm(-3). The CNTs/CHI composite foams with high density (0.02 g cm(-3)) possess better elasticity and mechanical strength than the ones with low density (0.01 g cm(-3)). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
