"A key research area for composite materials is the addition of nanoscale constituents to provide multi-functionality, i.e. materials capable of meeting multiple demands, such as structural, electrical, thermal, and energy storage. Such materials are termed “multifunctional nanocomposites”. Over the past decade, much research has been performed on carbon nanotube (CNT)-based nanocomposites, and it ...

Sulfur is a macro-nutrient that is essential for growth and plants need 1-5mg sulfur per gram biomass. However, most of the sulfur in soils is bound to organic molecules (organo-S) as sulfate esters and sulfonates. While plants are almost entirely dependent on sulfate, many bacteria and fungi are capable to mobilize sulfur from sulfate esters, and specific bacterial guilds can utilize sulfonates a ...
