Carbon dot nanomaterials (CDNs) have emerged as a significant class of nanomaterials with a broad spectrum of applications in various fields. These exceptionally fluorescent nanoparticles exhibit unique optical, electronic, and catalytic properties that stem from their fundamental structure and surface chemistry. Their tunable size, shape, and

Polymer composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) demonstrate significant gains in mechanical features. The incorporation of CNTs, due to their exceptional toughness, can lead to a substantial boost in the composite's compressive strength, modulus, and impact resistance. This enhancement stems from the synergistic combination between the CNT
