The Effects of Carbon Nanotube Orientation and Aggregation on Static Behavior of Functionally Graded Nanocomposite Cylinders
In this paper, the effects of carbon nanotube (CNT) orientation and aggregation on the static behavior of functionally graded nanocomposite cylinders reinforced by CNTs are investigated based on a mesh-free method. The used nanocomposites are made of the straight CNTs that are embedded in an isotropic polymer as matrix. The straight CNTs are oriented, randomly or aligned or local aggregated int...
متن کاملEffective in vitro gene delivery to murine cancerous brain cells using carbon nanotube-polyethylenimine conjugates
Objective(s): Carbon nanotube (CNT) has been widely applied at molecular and cellular levels due to its exceptional properties. Studies based on conjugation of CNTs with biological molecules indicated that biological activity is preserved. Polyethylenimine (PEI) is explored in designing novel gene delivery vectors due to its ability to condense plasmid DNA through electrostatic attraction. In t...
متن کاملHow Do Palladium Complexes Affect on Coil Structure of Human Serum Albumin in the Presence of Carbon Nanotube? A Molecular Dynamics Study
To investigate the interaction and adsorption of drug and carbon nanotube on human serum albumin, three anti-cancer drugs ([Pd(phen)(R-gly)]NO3, R = methyl, propyl and amyl) with different hydrophobic tails and anticancer activities were selected. These drugs have better anti-tumor activity and less side effects than that known cis-platinum drug. Human serum albumin is also ...
متن کاملThe effect of single wall carbon nanotube metallicity on genomic DNA-mediated chirality enrichment.
Achieving highly enriched single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is one of the major hurdles today because their chirality-dependent properties must be uniform and predictable for use in nanoscale electronics. Due to the unique wrapping and groove-binding mechanism, DNA has been demonstrated as a highly specific SWNT dispersion and fractionation agent, with its enrichment capabilities depending o...
متن کاملInfrared Dichroism and Surface Conformational Dynamics of Adsorbed Poly(dimethylsiloxane)
We examined polymer conformations at a strongly adsorbing solid surface and their evolution with elapsed time during the adsorption process. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS: Mw ) 118 000; Mw/Mn ) 1.16) was allowed to adsorb onto oxidized germanium from dilute carbon tetrachloride solutions. The mean backbone orientation was found to change even after the mass adsorbed had saturated; its conformati...
