Polydisperse Mixture of Gold Nano-Particles

Vicuña E., Viera O., Briano J.G., Castro M., Irizarry R., University of Puerto Rico, US

Colloids synthesized in water media, usually from direct reduction of a salt, always exhibit a size distribution, which may be characterized by TEM or SEM measurements. These are in essence polydisperse systems with a dispersion [...]

Sidewall Functionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes through C-N Bond Forming Substitution Reactions of Fluoronanotubes

Stevens J., Kini V.U., Huang A., Chiang I.W., Derrien G.A., Khabashesku V.N., Margrave J.L., Rice University, US

Because of the high reactivity of C-F bonds on the sidewalls of single-wall carbon nanotubes, fluorinated SWNTs (fluoronanotubes) can be used as precursors for further derivatization. One such reaction is to replace the fluorine with [...]

Monte Carlo Simulations of Nanotube Suspensions and Composites

Foygel M., Morris R.D., Anez D., French S., Sobolev V., South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, US

A Monte Carlo simulation code has been developed aimed at finding a critical fractional volume of the nanotubes suspended in a low thermo-or electro-conductive medium. Over more than two orders of magnitude, the critical fractional [...]

A Comparative Theoretical Study of Carbon and Boron-Nitride Single-wall Nanotubes

Akdim B., Duan X., Adams W.W., Pachter R., Air Force Research Laboratory, US

In this study, we focus on a comprehensive theoretical comparison between CNTs and BN-NTs, particularly for the radial breathing modes (RBMs), which are characteristic of nanotubes and do not have any corresponding modes in the [...]

Nanotubes and Nanoribbons in Displays, NEMS, and Chemical Sensors: Recent results from First-Principles Quantum Mechanics simulations

Maiti A., Accelrys Inc., US

Of the myriad of potential application areas commonly associated with Nanotechnology, sensors and displays are two of the closest ones to commercial reality. The two materials systems that have given rise to high hopes in [...]
