An interfacial polymerization method for nylon 6,6 was adapted to produce nanocomposites with single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) via in situ polymerization. SWNT were incorporated in purified, functionalized or surfactant stabilized forms. The functionalization of SWNT was characterized by FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and TGA and the SWNT dispersion was characterized by optical microscopy before a...

We report the fabrication and electron transport investigation of individual local-gated single-walled carbon nanotube field effect transistors (SWNT-FET) with high yield using a semiconducting-rich carbon nanotube solution. The individual semiconducting nanotubes were assembled at the selected position of the circuit via dielectrophoresis. Detailed electron transport investigations on 70 devic...

We study in detail here the application of transparent, conductive carbon single-wall nanotube (SWNT) networks as electrodes in flexible organic light-emitting diodes (FOLEDs). Overall comparisons of these networks to the commonly used electrodes poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and indium tin oxide (ITO) are made, and SWNT networks are shown to have excellen...

Motivated by recent experiments, we investigate how NO3-SWNT interactions become energetically favorable with varying oxidation state of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) using first-principles calculations. Chemisorption becomes less endothermic with respect to physisorption when the SWNT oxidation state is elevated. Importantly, the dissociative incorporation of an oxygen atom into the S...

BACKGROUND Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) are poorly soluble in water, so their applications are limited. Therefore, aqueous solutions of SWNT, designed by noncovalent functionalization and without toxicity, are required for biomedical applications. METHODS In this study, we conjugated docetaxel with SWNT via π-π accumulation and used a surfactant to functionalize SWNT noncovalently. T...

single-walled carbon nanotubes (swnts) are among the promising nano-devices for delivery of therapeutic agents. yet the drastic hydrophobic natures of swnts make their handling and hence application difficult.several researches have been conducted to make them more hydrophilic and water dispersible and less toxic. among the different approaches, dispersion methods exploit different reagents suc...

A series of SWNT arrays have been constructed by disproportionation of carbon monoxide on Co-Mo catalyst films deposited on flat Si wafer substrates. The arrays include a two-dimensional SWNT thin film prepared by spraying a SWNT suspension, as well as random SWNT networks, and vertically aligned SWNT. In addition, a novel SWNT array has been developed and termed SWNT "pillars". These pillars a...
