Growth of Carbon Nanotubes inside Boron Nitride Nanotubes by Coalescence of Fullerenes: Toward the World's Smallest Coaxial Cable (2017)
Journal Article
Walker, K. E., Rance, G. A., Pekker, Á., Tóháti, H. M., Fay, M. W., Lodge, R. W., …Khlobystov, A. N. (2017). Growth of Carbon Nanotubes inside Boron Nitride Nanotubes by Coalescence of Fullerenes: Toward the World's Smallest Coaxial Cable. Small Methods, 1(9), 1700184. https://doi.org/10.1002/smtd.201700184

The use of boron nitride nanotubes as effective nanoscale containers for the confinement and thermal transformations of molecules of C60-fullerene has been demonstrated. The gas-phase insertion of fullerenes into the internal channel of boron nitride...

Nanoscale engineering of hybrid magnetite–carbon nanofibre materials for magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents (2017)
Journal Article
Metelkina, O. N., Lodge, R. W., Rudakovskaya, P. G., Gerasimov, V. M., Lucas, C. H., Grebennikov, I. S., …Majouga, A. G. (2017). Nanoscale engineering of hybrid magnetite–carbon nanofibre materials for magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. Journal of Materials Chemistry C, 5(8), 2167-2174. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6TC04141H

Magnetic nanomaterials show significant promise as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We have developed a new highly efficient one-step procedure for the synthesis of magnetically- functionalised hollow carbon nanofibres, where (i)...
