Influence of the graphitisation of hollow carbon nanofibers on their functionalisation and subsequent filling with metal nanoparticles.
The functionalisation of carbon nanomaterials with the standard nitric acid treatment is greatly influenced by their graphitic character. The structural order directs the density as well as the nature of the created functional groups and, as a consequence, influences the efficiency of their filling with metal nanoparticles.
متن کاملInfrared Spectroscopy in Studying Biofunctionalised Gold Nanoparticles
Over the last decade, nano-sized particles of noble metals with surface plasmonresonance properties have found numerous applications in nanotechnology and scientific research, including diverse biological and biomedical fields (for recent reviews see, e.g. [1–9]. This also refers to (bio) functionalised metal nanoparticles, where the term ‘‘functionalisation’’ (or ‘‘biofunctionalisation’’) mean...
متن کاملThree-input gate logic circuits on chemically assembled single-electron transistors with organic and inorganic hybrid passivation layers
Single-electron transistors (SETs) are sub-10-nm scale electronic devices based on conductive Coulomb islands sandwiched between double-barrier tunneling barriers. Chemically assembled SETs with alkanethiol-protected Au nanoparticles show highly stable Coulomb diamonds and two-input logic operations. The combination of bottom-up and top-down processes used to form the passivation layer is vital...
متن کاملBiological applications of localised surface plasmonic phenomenae.
Researchers and industrialists have taken advantage of the unusual optical, magnetic, electronic, catalytic, and mechanical properties of nanomaterials. Nanoparticles and nanoscale materials have proven to be useful for biological uses. Nanoscale materials hold a particular interest to those in the biological sciences because they are on the same size scale as biological macromolecules, protein...
متن کاملSurface Passivation of Carbon Nanoparticles with Branched Macromolecules Influences Near Infrared Bioimaging
A superior and commercially exploitable 'green synthesis' of optically active carbon nanoparticle (OCN) is revealed in this work. The naked carbon particles (<20 nm) were derived from commercial food grade honey. The fluorescence properties of these particles were significantly enhanced by utilizing hyberbranched polymer for surface passivation. A dramatic increase in near infrared emission was...
