Immobilization of Chitosan onto Carbon Nanotubes for Lead Removal from Water

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are interesting materials which are being researched intensively in the past few year. Application of CNTs in water treatment with their unique properties has attracted the attention of many scientists and engineers. Moreover, manipulation of CNTs with other polymers has been...
