The influence of pristine SWNTs in supramolecular hydrogelation of amphiphilic dipeptide carboxylates is delineated. The developed SWNT-nanohybrids with notable mechanical strength act as a scaffold for superior peroxidase activity of cytochrome c in organic media.

This communication reports on the novel work of creating a transistor channel based on functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) via electrostatic atomization deposition. The current method of drop-cast though convenient was unable to produce replicable transistor device due to its inherent inability in controlling the volume of liquid being drop-cast. Hence, this method of electros...

We have developed a two-step filling process for the nano-reaction of ionic liquid in a tip-closed SWNT, where fullerenes are inserted at the end of the host SWNT as a plug to prevent the leakage of the confined ionic liquid during heat treatment.

We present an innovative wet-chemistry-assisted nanotube-substitution reaction approach for the highly efficient synthesis of boron- and nitrogen-codoped single-walled carbon nanotubes (B(x)C(y)N(z)-SWNTs) in bulk quantities. The as-synthesized ternary system B(x)C(y)N(z)-SWNTs are of high purity and quality and have fairly homogeneous B and N dopant concentrations. Electrical transport measure...

Carbon nanotubes are nanocomponents par excellence that offer unique properties to be exploited in next-generation devices. Sensing applications are perhaps the class that has most to gain from single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs); virtually any property of SWNTs (e.g., electronic, electrical, mechanical, and optical) can result or has already resulted in sensor concept demonstrators. The bas...

in this paper, the effect of surface area of reaction layers in gas diffusion electrodes on oxygen reduction reaction was investigated. for this purpose, various amounts (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and zero %wt of total loading of reaction layer) of single walled carbon nanotube (swcnt) were inserted in the reaction layer. the performance of gas diffusion electrodes for oxygen reduction re...

in this paper we have down three theoretical study by using monte carlo simulation and mm+,amber and opls force field. the calculations were carried out using hyper chem professional,release 7.01 package of program. first we have studied the interaction of h2 molecule and he atomwith single-walled carbon nanotube at different temperature. for doing this study we placed h2 andhe in the center an...

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the primary cause of infection with impaired defense mechanisms. P. aeruginosa commonly causes nosocomial infections and is the most common pathogen isolated from patients hospitalized for longer than 1 week. We examined the antimicrobial effect of multilayered carbon nanotubes on multi-drug-resistant. Materials and methods: In this research, 20 clinical i...

We shed light on the specific hydration structure around a zinc ion of nanosolution restricted in a cylindrical micropore of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) by comparison with the structure restricted in a cylindrical mesopore of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) and that of bulk aqueous solution. The average micropore width of open-pore SWNT was 0.87 nm which is equivalent to the size of a ...
