Nanofluids Containing MWCNTs Coated with Nitrogen-Rich Plasma Polymer Films for CO<sub>2</sub>Absorption in Aqueous Medium
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Amine-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) dispersed in water are investigated as CO2 absorbents. MWCNTs grown by chemical vapor deposition on stainless steel meshes form open forests that can be coated via a RF capacitively coupled glow discharge. When treating the MWCNTs in an atmosphere containing either pure ammonia or mixtures of ammonia and ethylene for 5 min, grafting of nitrogen functional groups or deposition of a nitrogen-rich plasma polymer layer occurs. In particular, for a 1:1 mixture, a 10 nm thick plasma polymer layer coats the MWCNTs. This layer contains about 19 N at%, and 12% of these nitrogen atoms are nucleophilic sites (such as amines) that may react with CO2. These functional groups not only enhance the absorption of CO2, but also increase the hydrophilic character of the MWCNTs, allowing them to stay suspended in water for at least three months at room temperature. The CO2 absorption capacity of this nanofluid is 36% higher than that of water, with a MWCNT concentration of about 40 mg L−1.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
