Photoinduced charge separation processes of three-layer supramolecular hybrids, fullerene-porphyrin-SWCNT, which are constructed from semiconducting (7,6)- and (6,5)-enriched SWCNTs and self-assembled via π-π interacting long alkyl chain substituted porphyrins (tetrakis(4-dodecyloxyphenyl)porphyrins; abbreviated as MP(alkyl)(4)) (M = Zn and H(2)), to which imidazole functionalized fullerene[60]...

In this study concept of experimental design is successfully applied for the determination of optimum condition to produce PP/SWCNT (Polypropylene/Single wall carbon nanotube) nanocomposite. Central composite design as one of experimental design techniques is employed for the optimization and statistical determination of the significant factors influencing on the tensile modulus and yield stres...

Reduced single-walled carbon nanotubes (r-SWCNT) are shown to react readily at room temperature under inert atmosphere conditions with epoxide moieties, such as those in triglycidyl p-amino phenol (TGAP), to produce a soft covalently bonded interface around the SWCNT. The soft interface is compatible with the SWCNT-free cross-linked cured matrix and acts as a toughener for the composite. Incorp...

in this work, we have studied binding of clonidine drug (c9h9cl2n3) with zigzag single walled carbonnanotubes (swcnt) (5, 0) by theoretical methods of theory using gaussian 09 software package.binding energies, nmr parameters and homo- lumo gap energy were calculated. results frombinding energies indicate that it is possible thermodynamically to bind clonidine drug to swcnt.the calculated nmr p...

BACKGROUND Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have unique physical and chemical properties. Furthermore, novel properties can be developed by attachment or encapsulation of functional groups. These unique properties facilitate the use of CNTs in drug delivery. We developed a new nanomedicine consisting of a nanocarrier, cell-targeting molecule, and chemotherapeutic drug and assessed its efficacy in vitro....

This paper investigates the performance of the bundle of Single wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) for low-power and high-speed interconnects for future VLSI applications. The power dissipation and delay of SWCNT bundle interconnects are examined and compared with that of the Cu interconnects at the different technology (16nm, 22nm, 32nm & 45nm) nodes for both intermediate and global interconnects. ...

We present a method of selectively removing metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from as-grown arrays on quartz substrates. The process utilizes an external silicon piece as a temporary global top gate to increase the resistance of the semiconducting SWCNTs while current is passed through the metallic SWCNTs, causing electrical breakdown through joule heating. The resulting SWCNT fi...

Reproducible current hysteresis is observed in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) measured in a two-terminal configuration without a gate electrode. On the basis of this hysteresis, a two-terminal nonvolatile memory is realized by applying voltage pulses of opposite polarities across the SWCNT. Charge trapping at the SWCNT/SiO(2) interface is proposed to account for the obse...

A single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-based three-electrode system was fully integrated on glass substrates using a standard microfabrication process and electrochemically characterized using cyclic voltammetry. O(2) plasma functionalization of the SWCNT film working electrode for achieving high sensitivity was voltammetrically optimized with respect to the plasma power and treatment time. Ch...

In this Letter, we demonstrate thin-film single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) logic devices with subnanowatt static power consumption and full rail-to-rail voltage transfer characteristics as is required for logic gate cascading. These results are enabled by a local metal gate structure that achieves enhancement-mode p-type and n-type SWCNT thin-f...
