Vertically aligned carbon nanofiber arrays record electrophysiological signals from hippocampal slices.
Vertically aligned carbon nanofiber (VACNF) electrode arrays were tested for their potential application in recording neuro-electrophysiological activity. We report, for the first time, stimulation and extracellular recording of spontaneous and evoked neuroelectrical activity in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures with ultramicroelectrode VACNF arrays. Because the electrodes are carbon-based...
متن کاملHigh efficient electrical stimulation of hippocampal slices with vertically aligned carbon nanofiber microbrush array
Long-term neuroprostheses for functional electrical stimulation must efficiently stimulate tissue without electrolyzing water and raising the extracellular pH to toxic levels. Comparison of the stimulation efficiency of tungsten wire electrodes (W wires), platinum microelectrode arrays (PtMEA), as-grown vertically aligned carbon nanofiber microbrush arrays (VACNF MBAs), and polypyrrole coated (...
متن کاملDiffraction from carbon nanofiber arrays.
A square planar photonic crystal composed of carbon nanofibers was fabricated using e-beam lithography and chemical vapor deposition. The diffraction properties of the system were characterized experimentally and compared with theory and numerical simulations. The intensities of the (-1,0) and (-1,-1) diffraction beams were measured as functions of the angles of incidence for both s and p-polar...
متن کاملLarge-Displacement Indentation Testing of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Arrays
Mechanical properties and deformation of the vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays (VA-CNTs) has been examined with large-displacement indentation tests inside a scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The in-situ indentation allows for establishment of the load-depth responses and real-time observations of the deformation processes. Under a cylindrical, flat indenter, the VA-CNTs exhibit ela...
متن کاملSurface properties of vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays
This study focuses on the structural changes of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays while measuring their adhesive properties and wetting behaviour. CNT forests grown by chemical vapor deposition with a height of ~100 μm, an outer CNT diameter of ~10 nm and a density of the order of ~10 CNTs/cm show an average adhesion of 4 N/cm when pressed against a glass surface. The applied forc...
