Synthesis and characterization of FITC-aminated agarose as highly-fluorescent labeling agent

Zhang L., Huang J., Chu B., Tang S., Jinan University, CN

A new fluorescent agent, FITC labeling agarose is designed to determine whether it can act as an effective fluorescent labeling agent of cell or not. The degraded agarose reacted with 3-chloro-1, 2-epoxypropane in NaOH medium [...]

Controlled growth and electrical characterization of bent single-walled carbon nanotubes

Huang J., Choi W.B., Florida International University, US

The unique electrical and mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) make them one of the most promising candidates for next generation nanoelectronics. However, synthesis of complex geometries for as-grown SWNTs still remains a challenging [...]

A Markedly Cntrollable Adhesion of Superhydrophobic Sponge-like Nanostructure TiO2 Films

Lai Y., Lin C., Huang J., Zhuang H., Sunb L., Nguyen T., Xiamen University, CN

A method consisting of electrochemical anodization and self-assembling of hydrophobic-hydrophilic mixture has been employed to fabricate superhydrophobic sponge-like nanostructured TiO2 surfaces with remarkably controllable adhesion. Water adhesion ranged from ultra-low (5.0 N) to very high [...]

Coin-Shaped Reactor in Microfluidic Devices Used for Radiopharmaceutical Synthesis

Elizarov A.M., Kolb H.C., van Dam R.M., Heath J.R., Padgett H.C., Huang J., Daridon A., California Institute of Technology, US

A microfluidic device designed and optimized for the multi-step synthesis of PET (Positron Emisssion Tomography) probes is presented. It is the first device in its class to produce radiopharmaceuticals of sufficient quality and quantity (over [...]

Polyaniline Nanofibers and Composite Materials for Chemical Detection

Weiller B.H., Virji S., Baker C., Huang J., Li D., Kaner R.B., The Aerospace Corporation, US

Polyaniline is a conducting polymer with electrical properties that can change greatly upon exposure to various chemicals. Most notably, when polyaniline is exposed to strong acids and bases, the conductivity changes by greater than 8 [...]

Defects and Fault Characterization in Quantum Cellular Automata

Baradaran Tahoori M., Momenzadeh M., Huang J., Lombardi F., Northeastern University, US

In this paper, a detailed simulation-based characterization of QCA defects and study of their effects at logic-level are presented. Different defect mechanisms for QCA active devices and interconnects are considered and the appropriate fault models [...]
