Single Step Double-walled Nanoencapsulation (SSDN)

Single - Walled 4 . Single - Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are hollow, long cylinders with extremely large aspect ratios, made of one atomic sheet of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice. They possess extraordinary thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties and are considered as one of the most promising nanomaterials for applications and basic research. This chapter describes the structural, electronic, vibra...

Identifying individual single-walled and double-walled carbon nanotubes by atomic force microscopy.

We show that the number of concentric graphene cylinders forming a carbon nanotube can be found by squeezing the tube between an atomic force microscope tip and a silicon substrate. The compressed height of a single-walled nanotube (double-walled nanotube) is approximately two (four) times the interlayer spacing of graphite. Measured compression forces are consistent with the predicted bending ...

Aligned Growth of Single-Walled and Double- Walled Carbon Nanotube Films by Control of Catalyst Preparation

Vibroelectronic Properties of Functionalized Single- Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Double-walled Boron Nitride Nanotubes

Single-step electrochemical functionalization of double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) membranes and the demonstration of ionic rectification

Carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes allow the mimicking of natural ion channels for applications in drug delivery and chemical separation. Double-walled carbon nanotube membranes were simply functionalized with dye in a single step instead of the previous two-step functionalization. Non-faradic electrochemical impedance spectra indicated that the functionalized gatekeeper by single-step modificatio...
