Carbon concrete polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/lignin-based carbon fiber (CF) composites are a new promising material class for the building industry. The replacement of the traditional heavy and corroding steel reinforcement by carbon fiber (CF)-based reinforcements offers many significant advantages: a higher protection of environmental resources because of lower CO2 consumption during cement production, a longer lifecycle and thus, much less damage to structural components and a higher degree of design freedom because lightweight solutions can be realized.

The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of iron catalyst thickness on the straightness of growth of carbon nanotube microelectromechanical systems (CNT-MEMS). One of the key benefits of CNT-MEMS is that they can potentially have very high aspect ratios. One of the challenges in attaining these high aspect ratios is maintaining device straightness; as these devices get taller, the edges tend to curve rather than grow straight vertically.

Once incorporated into the aquatic environment, internal processes occur to modify the C pool. Of these, photo-processing preferentially targets terrestrially derived C and therefore might have a significant effect on the C budget of peatland draining aquatic systems.

Activated carbons possess many of the properties desirable for use as a sorbent material in extracorporeal systems. They are physically and chemically stable, may be modified in terms of porosity or surface chemistry, thus allowing a wide range of sorbent materials to be produced. One drawback of activated carbons is their inherent hydrophobicity. Unless they are used as hydrophobic matrices, the surfaces have to be modified to produce a more hydrophilic surface, to increase interaction with the biological solution of interest.

Abstract:
The aim of this PhD thesis is the investigation of the photophysical properties of materials that can be exploited in solar energy conversion. In this context, my research was mainly focused on carbon nanotube-based materials and ruthenium complexes. The first part of the thesis is devoted to carbon nanotubes (CNT), which have unique physical and chemical properties, whose rational control is of substantial interest to widen their application perspectives in many fields. Our goals were (i) to develop novel procedures for supramolecular dispersion, using amphiphilic block copolymers, (ii) to in
