Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites with Highly Enhanced Strength and Conductivity for Flexible Electric Circuits

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have an important role in nanotechnology due to their unique properties, retaining the inherent material flexibility, superior strength, and electrical conductivity, unless the bottleneck of CNTs persists and the aggregated structure is overcome. Here, we report on the highly enhanced mechanical and electrical properties of the CNT–chitosan nanocomposites through homogeneous dispersion of CNTs into chitosan solution using a high-pressure homogenizer. The optimal condition is a 50% (w/w) chitosan–CNT film, providing about 7 nm thickness of homogeneous chitosan layer on CNTs, a good tensile strength of 51 MPa, high electrical conductivity under 16 Ω/sq, and a stable bending and folding performance. This CNT–chitosan nanocomposite with highly enhanced properties is an amenable material to fabricate structures of various shapes such as films, sensors, and circuits and also enables a simple and cost-effective approach to improve the performance of a device that presents the first flexible and soft electric circuits yet reported using only CNT–chitosan as the conductor

Brain regions showing a significant group difference in reality evaluation-related activity and their correlations with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) positive scores.

<p>Scatter plots depict the relationship between the regional percent signal change and PANSS positive scores in patients. The percent signal changes of the left and right parahippocampal gyri during reality evaluation were significantly lower in patients than in controls, and they were significantly correlated with the PANSS positive scores in patients *Significant finding at <i>P</i> < 0.05.</p

Brain regions showing a significant group difference and correlation with the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale (BCIS) composite scores.

<p>Scatter plots depict the relationship between the regional percent signal change and BCIS composite scores in patients and controls. The percent signal changes of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) (A1) and left parahippocampal gyrus (A2) during reality evaluation were significantly lower in patients than in controls, and they were significantly correlated with the BCIS composite scores in patients, but not in controls. The percent signal changes of the right inferior parietal lobule (IPL) (B1) and right posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) (B2) during recognition were significantly lower in patients than in controls, and they were significantly correlated with the BCIS composite scores in patients, but not in controls. *Significant finding at <i>P</i> < 0.05.</p
