An important issue in nanopore sensing is to construct stable and versatile sensors that can discriminate analytes with minute differences. Here we report a means of creating nanopores that comprise ultrashort single-walled carbon nanotubes inserted into a lipid bilayer. We investigate the ion transport and DNA translocation through single-walled carbon nanotube nanopores and find that our resu...

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...

the interaction between some heavy metal ions such as of pb(ii), cd(ii) and cu(ii) ions from aqueous solution adsorbed by single walled carbon nanotube (swcnts) and carboxylate group functionalized single walled carbon nanotube (swcnt-cooh) surfaces were studied by atomic absorption spectroscopy. the effect of contact time, ph, initial concentration of ion, ionic strength and temperature on the...

single walled nanotubes (swnt) are common interested nanovehicle to make biosensors more sensitive.carbon nanotubes (cnts) have many distinct properties make them to be exploited to develop the nextgeneration of such nano sensors .the keto-enol tautomerization is one of the most common investigatedsubjects of isomerism in this regards, sensors are devices that are able to detect and change the ...

The electrical resistance of mats of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is measured as a function of mat temperature under various helium pressures, in vacuum and in atmospheric air. The objective of this paper is to study the thermal stability of SWNTs produced in a helium arc discharge in the experimental conditions close to natural conditions of SWNT growth in an arc, using a furnace inste...

Photoluminescence (PL) dynamics in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been studied by the femtosecond excitation correlation method with a 150 fs time resolution. The SWNT samples were synthesized by different methods and suspended in gelatin films or D2O solutions. The PL dynamics of SWNTs depends on the local environment surrounding the SWNTs rather than the synthesis methods. The ver...

A new poly(N-vinylcarbazole)-covalently grafted single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT-PVK) hybrid material was synthesized by an in situ anionic polymerization reaction of N-vinylcarbazole and the negatively charged SWNTs. Incorporation of the PVK moieties onto the SWNTs' surface considerably improves the solubility and processability of SWNTs. At the same level of linear transmission, the SWNT-PVK...

Different catalyst formulations and reaction conditions have been used to test the validity of a hypothesis that tries to elucidate the mechanism of single-walled nanotube (SWNT) formation by CO disproportionation over a highly selective cobalt-molybdenum catalyst. This model proposed an intrinsic dependence between the selectivity of the catalysts toward SWNT and the stabilization of Co specie...
