Enhanced fluid transport through carbon nanopipes

Whitby M., Cagnon L., Thanou M., Quirke N., Imperial College, UK

Experimental measurement of fluid flow and diffusion through nanoscale channels is important both for determining how classical theories of fluid dynamics apply at very small length scales and with a view to constructing practical nanofluidic [...]

Carbon Nanopipes dispersions in aqueous solutions and effects on cell viability

Whitby M., Lin J., Quirke N., Thanou M., Imperial College London, UK

The development of carbon nanomaterials for biomedical applications appears highly attractive due to their nanoscale properties although their biological profile is still in doubt. Herewith, we report that the amorphous vs crystalline character of carbon [...]

Interactions between Carbon Nanotubes and Liquids: Imbibition and Wetting

Cuenat A., Whitby M., Cain M., Mendels D., Quirke N., National Physical Laboratory, UK

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have potential applications in nanofluidic devices and are already in use for composite reinforcement. Their interactions with fluids are critical in both those applications. Furthermore, the wetting dynamics of homogeneous and structured [...]
