Elastic bending modulus of monolayer graphene
An analytic formula is derived for the elastic bending modulus of monolayer graphene based on an empirical potential for solid-state carbon atoms. Two physical origins are identified for the non-vanishing bending stiffness of the atomically thin graphene sheet, one due to the bond-angle effect and the other resulting from the bond-order term associated with the dihedral angles. The analytical p...
متن کاملNanoparticle hydrophobicity dictates immune response.
Understanding the interactions of nanomaterials with the immune system is essential for the engineering of new macromolecular systems for in vivo applications. Systematic study of immune activation is challenging due to the complex structure of most macromolecular probes. We present here the use of engineered gold nanoparticles to determine the sole effect of hydrophobicity on the immune respon...
متن کاملDiameter-dependent bending modulus of individual multiwall boron nitride nanotubes.
The mechanical properties of individual multiwall boron nitride nanotubes (MWBNNTs) synthesized by a growth-vapor-trapping chemical vapor deposition method are investigated by a three-point bending technique via atomic force microscopy. Multiple locations on suspended tubes are probed in order to determine the boundary conditions of the supported tube ends. The bending moduli (EB) calculated fo...
متن کاملChain length dependencies of the bending modulus of surfactant monolayers.
The effect of the surfactant chain length n on the bending modulus kappa of surfactant monolayers is simulated with a mesoscopic oil-water-surfactant model. We confirm a power law, kappa is proportional to np, as predicted by mean-field theory and found experimentally, and find p approximately 1.5 at a constant surface density and p approximately 1.0 at a constant interfacial tension. This agre...
متن کاملGut microbiota dictates the metabolic response of Drosophila to diet.
Animal nutrition is profoundly influenced by the gut microbiota, but knowledge of the scope and core mechanisms of the underlying animal-microbiota interactions is fragmentary. To investigate the nutritional traits shaped by the gut microbiota of Drosophila, we determined the microbiota-dependent response of multiple metabolic and performance indices to systematically varied diet composition. D...
