Improvement of Hydrogen Production by Immobilized Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009 Using Reverse Micelles as Microreactor

Singh A., Misra K., Rice University, US
Within the process of photobiological hydrogen production, purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacteria are an interesting subject of study because of their high substrate conversion efficiencies and their capability of using a wide variety of substrates either [...]

Determination of Elastic and Thermal Properties of Nanocomposites by Fiber Embedment in Finite Elements

Spanos P.D., Esteva M., Akin J.E., Rice University, US
In this paper the impact of entangled and non-straight fibers in the determination of the effective elastic and thermal properties of polymer nanocomposite (PNC) is addressed. Most of the models in recent studies assume nanotubes [...]

Enhanced Biodegradation of 2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorocyclohexan-1-ol — a b-HCH Metabolite — in the Presence of a and g-HCH Isomers by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ITRC-5

Singh A., Kumar A., Misra K., Rice University, US
Chlorinated insecticide hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), which is still used in many countries in agriculture and forestry, leads to environmental problems. HCH consists of a mixture of four isomers: a-, b-, g-, and d. Efforts have been [...]

Isolation and Characterization of Benzene Degrading Bacteria from Gasoline Contaminated Water

Singh A., Sar P., Bennett G., Rice University, US
The BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene)compounds are hydrocarbon pollutants that are considered as significant threat to the health and environment. Among BTEX, benzene is of major concern, because it is soluble, mobile, toxic, carcinogenic [...]

Cutting Fluorinated/Ozonated Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Pyrolysis

Chen Z., Gu Z., Ziegler K., Chan C.K., Shaver J., Hauge R.H., Smalley R.E., Rice University, US
Fluorinated/ozonated Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) was found to have been cut to short length by Pyrolysis and/or piranha treatment. Large scale cutting of SWNTs would lead to novel applications of nanotubes in microelectronics, biological imaging [...]

Electromagnetic Containerless Processing of Single-walled Nanotube Reinforced Metal-Matrix Composites

Wilson K., Zeng Q., Barrera E., Bayazitoglu Y., Rice University, US
Single walled carbon nanotube (SWNTs) reinforced copper (Cu) matrix composites were produced by powder metallurgy (PM) and electromagnetic levitation methods. The nanotubes where first decorated with a Nickel coating using incipient wetting and then dispersed [...]

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 [...]

Cutting, Solubilizing and Size-Sorting of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

Gu Z., Peng H., Cratty J., Hauge R.H., Smalley R.E., Margrave J.L., Rice University, US
The fluorination of purified HiPco single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) to a stoichiometry CFx (x ≤ 0.2) followed by pyrolysis of the partially fluorinated SWNTs up to 1000 oC was found to have cut the nanotubes [...]

Zero Bias Anomalies in Electrochemically Fabricated Atomic-Scale Metal Junctions

Natelson D., Yu L.H., Rice University, US
Metallic nanojunctions (MNJ) are unique tools for examining electronic transport, correlations, quantum coherence, and disorder at the atomic scale. Extensive progress has been made in understanding clean MNJs fabricated in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) by the [...]
