High Volume Fraction Carbon Nanotube Composites for Aerospace Applications
Reported mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at the nanoscale suggest their potential to enable significantly lighter structures of interest in space applications. However, their utility depends on the retention of these properties in bulk [...]
Integration of graphene into nanoelectronic devices: insights from atomistic simulations
A deep knowledge on the electronic properties of graphene derivatives is critical to successful integration of graphene into future nanoelectronic devices. We investigate the electronic properties of graphene upon adsorption of gases expected to be [...]
Carbon Nanotube Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells
Due to the high cost of silicon photovoltaics there is currently great interest in finding alternative semiconductor materials for light harvesting devices. Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are an allotrope of carbon having unique electrical [...]
The Brain-Machine Interface: Nanotechniques for Improving Brain Electrochemical Monitoring and Modulating
Andrews R., Bennet K., Chang S.Y., Koehne J., Lee K., Meyyappan M., Rand E., NASA Ames Research Center, US
Purpose: Present-day neuromodulation, e.g. deep brain stimulation (DBS), is limited by inefficient charge transfer from electrodes to brain tissue, lack of brain chemical (neurotransmitter) monitoring, and absence of feedback-guided stimulation. Although DBS using platinum macroelectrodes [...]
SWCNT TUBALL as a universal conductive additive in plastics
The development of electro-conductive plastics filled with SWCNTs is demonstrated. A number of different plastics filled with TUBALLTM such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS-plastic, polystyrene etc. exhibit electrical resistance in the range of 10^8-10^4 Ω*cm. The [...]
Development of “thermoelectric power generating paper” using carbon-nanotube-composite paper
We propose an unique thermoelectric material based on a carbon-nanotube(CNT)-composite paper[1] that a composite material of the CNT and a paper, i.e., a “thermoelectric power generating paper.” In recent years, about two thirds of the [...]
Adsorption of Cl adatom on Na-Decorated graphene
In this presentation, the effects of the Cl adatom on Na-decorated graphene are studied using first principles density functional theory. The adsorption energy, geometric structure, charge density difference, and density of states are calculated under [...]
Characterization of electrical property and band-structure in carbon nanotube/GaN hetero-interface
Recently power devices using GaN have attracted much attention because of high power and high efficiency due to the wide band-gap. These power devices are generally used in high temperature operation by the heat dissipation [...]
The selectivity features of a biological functionalized carbon nanotubes complex towards blood
The present work has studied the selectivity process of a biological complex based on Carbon Nanotubes and a specific amino-acid sequence for interacting specifically with blood. In this work, Human Serum Albumin (HSA) has been [...]
