A group of researchers from the Scientific Research Center at Soran University has published a significant scientific study in the field of chemistry, titled:
“Rapid synthesis of carbon quantum dots using organic solvents via combustion method and their role in enhancing polyurethane elasticity.”
This research, conducted by Hussein Khojasteh, Dr. Shahab Ahmadiyazar, Dr. Peyman Khalid Aspoka, and Dr. Samir Mustafa Hamed, has been published in the high-impact international journal Journal of Materials Science, which is part of Springer Nature and has an impact factor of 3.5.
The study focuses on the rapid synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using an efficient combustion method with various organic solvents, including cyclohexane, toluene, xylene, n-heptanol, and hexane. Among these solvents, toluene was found to produce the highest-quality CQDs, significantly enhancing the mechanical properties of polyurethane. These findings highlight the potential of CQDs as effective functional additives for improving material properties.
