Determination of relative concentrations of metallic and semi-conducting SWNTs in suspension via dielectrophoresis

Mureau N., Mendoza E., Hoettges K.F., Silva S.R.P, Hughes M.P., University of Surrey, UK

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a phemomenon of induced particle motion in non-uniform electric fields. The effect is frequency dependent; by monitoring the motion of particles in AC fields and ananlysing the change in motion with frequency, [...]

Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes as Platforms for the Design of Biosensors

Mendoza E., Borowiak-Palen E., Sharpe K., de Silva S.G.M., Mureau N., Silva S.R.P, University of Surrey, UK

Carbon Nanotubes have unique properties such as chemical stability, good mechanical properties and high surface area that makes them ideal for the design of sensors. In this study, we present the use of Carbon Nanotube [...]

DNA/RNA Purified Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes on Self-Assembled Networks

Jeynes J.C.G., Mendoza E., Chow D., McFadden J., Silva S.R.P, University of Surrey, UK

Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) have attracted a huge interest in the research community to their extraordinary properties. However, the production methods, specially in the case of single walled CNT (SWNCT), also create a high number of [...]
