Progress towards total structure control in SWCNT populations
As-synthesized single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) populations contain substantial distributions of SWCNT structures, including in the distribution of species ((n,m) chiralities) and enantiomers (i.e. the handedness of the lattice vector), as well as in their lengths, [...]
Facile and High-Throughput Fabrication of Carbon Nanotube Carpet-PDMS Structures toward Flexible Supercapacitors
Flexible electronics have a wide range of applications in wearable and multifunctional electronics [1], including flexible displays, curved smart phones, electronic skins, and implantable medical devices. Consequently technologies for flexible energy storage will have to [...]
Dual Glucose and Lactate Self-powered biosensor
Organ preservation plays a major role in improving the clinical outcome of transplantation. Extracorporeal perfusion systems have been developed for solid-organ transplants (e.g. liver) and recently, investigators have demonstrated incremental improvements in preserving porcine vascularized [...]
The Fabrication and Characterization of Nanocarbon Foam as Novel Wick Material for Thermal Management of Electronics
Semiconductor devices have suffered large on-chip temperature gradients due to localized high heat flues resulting from the substantial non-uniformity in power dissipation. To solve the heat problems, the flat heat pipes (HPs) are excellent candidates [...]
Carbon nanotubes functionalized neural probe platform for characterization of cell attachment and motility
The application of micro- or nano-electromechanical systems (MEMs) or (NEMs) to the fabrication of neural probes, have led to the development of minimally-invasive high density probes. Although the majority of neuroMEMs probes have been used [...]
Wireless Bacteria Nanosensor Based on Carbon Nanotubes Functionalized with Ag Nanoparticles
Alvarez-Colón N.I., Marra A., Caro G., Arroyo A., Alvarez-Colón N.I., Colón A., Avalos J., Morell G., Weiner B., University of Puerto Rico- Río Piedras Campus, US
Hospital and health communities need a more effective electronic bio-interface to better reduce or eliminate bacterial threat. The biosensor industry fabricates solid devices that are not suitable for biological surfaces such as buccal, skin or [...]
Artificial Bacteriophage for Anticancer Drug Delivery
In this work, we present a new nanodevice, called artificial bacteriophage, name inspired in the Bacteriophage T4. The nanodevice is made up of two carbon nanostructures and molecular bioreceptors: 1) the nanocontainer, made of fullerenes [...]
Laser Annealing Nanoscale Carbons: Material Transformations
Laser processing of materials is not new, but using lasers to anneal, bond and otherwise transform carbons is. Fundamental understanding of the dependence upon carbon structure, morphology and chemistry is critical to implementing this technology [...]
Kinetics study of carbon nanotube alignment under shear force via real-time polarized Raman spectroscopy
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been studied extensively since their discovery by Iijima in 1991. They have a unique quasi one-dimensional nanoscale structure with remarkable mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Numerous investigations have been done on [...]
Toward Engineering Fluorescent nanodiamonds
We have grown nanodiamonds (NDs) with Silicon vacancy (SiV) and Nitrogen vacancy (NV) color centers starting from the organic precursor Adamantane in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) using both resistive and laser heating methods. High [...]
