Biomolecule cytochrome c (Cty c), a small molecule of a chain of amino acids with extraordinary electron transport, was helically wrapped around a semiconductive single-wall carbon nanotube (s-SWCNT) to form a molecular building block for uncooled infrared detection with two uniquely designed functionalities: exciton dissociation to free charge carriers at the heterojunction formed on the s-SWC...

Although carbon nanomaterials such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) are becoming increasingly prevalent in manufacturing, there is little knowledge on the environmental fate of these materials. Environmental degradation of SWCNT is hindered by their highly condensed aromatic structure as well as the size and aspect ratio, which prevents intracellular degradation and limits microbial de...

Sonication process is regularly adopted for dispersing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in an aqueous medium. This can be achieved by either covalent functionalization of SWCNTs with strong acid or by noncovalent functionalization using dispersants that adsorb onto the surface of SWCNTs during dispersion. Because the dispersion process is usually performed using sonication, unintentional...

Three types of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) homogeneous epoxy composites with different SWCNT loadings (0.01–15%) have been evaluated for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) in the X-band range (8.2–12.4 GHz). The effect of the SWCNT structure including both the SWCNT aspect ratio and wall integrity, on the EMI SE have been studied and are found to correlate...

BACKGROUND Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is being used increasingly to evaluate and manage a variety of retinal diseases, but not much is known about the minification of the OCT images in gas-filled eyes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of gas-filled eyes on the size of the OCT images. METHODS This was retrospective case series of 81 consecutive eyes of 79 patient...

In this study, the effect of small-scale of both nanostructure and nano-fluid flowing through it on the natural frequency and longitudinal wave propagation are investigated. Here, the stationary and axially moving single-walled carbon nanotube conveying fluid are studied. The boundary conditions for the stationary nanotube is considering clamped-clamped and pined-pined and for the axially movin...

The cellular toxicity of three types of carbon nanoparticles, namely HiPco single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), arc discharge SWCNT and Printex 90 carbon black nanoparticles, was studied on three different cell models including the human alveolar carcinoma epithelial cell line (A549), the normal human bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) and the human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) using...

This article focuses on the peristaltic flow of carbon nanoparticle-suspended nanofluids under influence electroosmosis. The is considered inside a vertical tube with ciliated boundary walls. study holds great importance because it represents esophagus human body. Nanoparticles are inserted in blood for diagnosing diseases like cancer and also useful angiography, angioplasty, etc. A comparative...

In this research, wave propagation analysis in polymeric smart nanocomposite micro-tubes reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) conveying fluid is studied. The surrounded elastic medium is simulated by visco-Pasternak model while the composite micro-tube undergoes electro-magneto-mechanical fields. By means of micromechanics method, the constitutive structural coefficients of nano...

Two different kinds of SWCNT functionalized zigzag edge BN nanoribbons with n chains (n-ZBNNRs), namely, (a) B-edge functionalized by (m,m)SWCNT and N-edge modified with H (nZBNNR-B-(m,m)SWCNTs); and (b) the B-edge modified with H and the N-edge functionalized by (m,m)SWCNT (nZBNNR-N-(m,m)SWCNTs), have been predicted. Amazingly, we find that unlike the semiconducting and nonmagnetic H-modified ...
