Carbon Nanotubes in Neuro-nanotechnology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neuro-nanotechnology [2] is an approach that integrates nanoparticles [3] (or nanostructures) into the field of neuroscience in order to both study the structures and functions of the brain and to treat neurological diseases. These technologies include nanoparticles [3] to deliver drugs across the blood-brain barrier, to monitor electrical signals in the brain, and to induce neural signaling in damaged brain tissue. One advance in this field is the development of artificial synapses [4], which offers a way to stimulate damaged neurons and may to restore brain function. The artificial synapses [4] double as a platform for modeling artificial neural networks in supercomputers [1].

High temperature acidic oxidation of multiwalled Carbon nanotubes and synthesis of Graphene quantum dots
The acid oxidation of carbon nanotube generally results in opening the close ends of the nanotube and to make surface modifications. Herewith, Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were oxidized in acids at high temperature experimental conditions which led to the formation of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectro...

متن کاملFunctionalized Carbon Nanotubes Produced by APCVD using Camphor
A simple chemical vapor deposition technique at atmospheric pressure (APCVD) is adopted to synthesize the aligned arrays of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (AMWCNTs) without using any carrier gas, at 230◦C, 750◦C and 850 ◦C. Camphor (C10H16O) is used as carbon source because this botanical hydrocarbon is chip and abundant which convert the CVD technique to a green method for produc...
متن کاملStudy the stability of Si, Ge, Fe and Co in the interior surface of metallic carbon nanotube for hydrogen storage
In this article, we have performed calculations for studying the stability of the carbon group elements such as Si and Ge and also the magnetic elements like Fe and Co via first principle investigations. We found that Si and Ge decoupled from the interior surface of carbon nanotubes, this fact was independent in curvature, radius, conductivity and numbers of atoms in the carbon nanotubes. But t...
