Nanofiltration of Electrolyte Solutions by Sub-2nm Carbon Nanotube Membranes

Fornasiero F., Park H.G., Holt J.K., Stadermann M., Kim S., In J.B., Grigoropoulos C.P., Noy A., Bakajin O., Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, US

Both MD simulations and experimental studies have shown that liquid and gas flow through carbon nanotubes with nanometer size diameter is exceptionally fast. For applications in separation technology, selectivity is required together with fast flow. [...]

A High-Flux, Flexible Membrane with Parylene-encapsulated Carbon Nanotubes

Park H.G., In J., Kim S., Fornasiero F., Holt J.K., Grigoropoulos C.P., Noy A., Bakajin O., Lawrence Livermore Natioanal Laboratory, US

We present fabrication and characterization of a membrane based on carbon nanotubes (CNT) and parylene. Carbon nanotubes have shown orders of magnitude enhancement in gas and water permeability compared to estimates generated by conventional theories [...]

Near-Field Nanomodification of Thin Films Using Femtosecond Laser and Atomic Force Microscope

Chimmalgi A., Choi T.Y., Grigoropoulos C.P., Wan D., Komvopoulos K., University of California-Berkeley, US

Nanostructures, which have characteristic dimensions that are difficult to achieve by conventional optical lithography techniques, are finding ever-increasing applications in a variety of fields. For applications incorporating nanodevices to gain widespread acceptance, high resolution, reliability [...]
