A SWNT-Based Sensor for Detecting Human Blood Alcohol Concentration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alcohol intake may impair human abilities, degrade human performance, and result in serious diseases. Alcohol sensors are needed to manage the risk and effect of alcohol use to human health and performance. This paper was focused on the theoretical models and design of carbon nanotube based alcohol sensors. The experiments verified that single-walled carbon nanotubes can be used to detect alcohol vapor, and need metal pads to achieve higher sensitivity.

متن کاملComputational Chemistry of Anthracene (PAH) Removal by SWNT Nano-filters: DFT
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (such as, anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene and so on) are non-polar, hydrophobic compounds, which are not ionized. They are only slightly soluble in water. They are very dangerous compounds in the environment. The single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) is used for removal and conversion of anthracene to low-risk products. In this study, electron transfer between anthrac...

A new selectophore was introduced for Cu2+ ions. Spectroscopic studies showed a selectivity of a new organic compound (L) toward copper ions and several transitional metal ions. Hence, L was utilized in designing several ion selective electrodes for these cations. In practice, Cu2+ ion selective electrode behaved Nernstian (slope of 27.95±0.3 mV decade-1) over a...

Detection of nitric oxide (NO) in vivo by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) is based on the fluorescent properties of SWNT and the ability of NO to quench the fluorescence signal. Alterations of the signal can be utilized to detect a small molecule in vivo that has not previously been possible by other assay techniques. The protocols described here explain the techniques used to prepare NO-...
