Multiwalled carbon nanotube hybrids as MRI contrast agents
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most commonly used tomography techniques in medical diagnosis due to the non-invasive character, the high spatial resolution and the possibility of soft tissue imaging. Contrast agents, such as gadolinium complexes and superparamagnetic iron oxides, are administered to spotlight certain organs and their pathologies. Many new models have been propos...
متن کاملFunctionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes as ultrasound contrast agents.
Ultrasonography is a fundamental diagnostic imaging tool in everyday clinical practice. Here, we are unique in describing the use of functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as hyperechogenic material, suggesting their potential application as ultrasound contrast agents. Initially, we carried out a thorough investigation to assess the echogenic property of the nanotubes in vitro. We...
متن کاملAligned multiwalled carbon nanotube membranes.
An array of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was incorporated across a polymer film to form a well-ordered nanoporous membrane structure. This membrane structure was confirmed by electron microscopy, anisotropic electrical conductivity, gas flow, and ionic transport studies. The measured nitrogen permeance was consistent with the flux calculated by Knudsen diffusion through nanometer-scale tubes...
متن کاملMultiwalled carbon nanotube films as temperature nano-sensors
Most of the basic research on the electrical behavior of CNTs has been carried out on individual or bundle nanotubes. More recently random or oriented CNT networks (CNTN) are emerging as new material for electronic application. We present the fabrication of thick and dense CNTNs, in the form of freestanding films, and the study of their electric resistance as a function of the temperature, from...
متن کاملMultiwalled carbon nanotube coating on titanium.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have excellent chemical durability, mechanical strength and electrical properties. Therefore, there is interest in CNTs for not only electrical and mechanical applications, but also biological and medical applications. We coated titanium, a common material for dental implants, with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). First, titanium was aminated and covered with colla...
