The excitement of nano-test-tube chemistry in a single-walled carbon nanotube is exemplified in our study on electron doping in carbon nanotubes. Electron doping through the 1D van Hove singularity of single-walled carbon nanotubes is realized via a chemical reaction of an encapsulated organocerium compound, CeCp3. The decomposition of CeCp3 inside the carbon nanotubes increases the doping leve...

Hydrized derivatives of phenylene diamine were reacted with aromatic diacid chloride to give wholly aromatic polyamide/hydrazide compounds with much better solubility in organic solvents thus improving their pressesability. Carbon nano-tubes were used as fillers to enhance their thermal and mechanical properties. The polymers as well as the composite were characterized by spectral and mechanica...

A self aligned nano scale gap between multiple metal layers has been fabricated using a newly developed technique of controlled undercut and metallization (CUM), and applied for the assembly of an individual carbon nanotube (CNT). The new method enables conventional optical lithography to fabricate nano-gap electrodes and self aligned patterns with nano scale precision. Individual CNTs were ass...

A variety of nano-carriers, nano-particles, nano-fibers, nano-tubes etc. have displayed greater competence to mimic nanoscale environment for the enzyme as compared to microand macro-environments provided by traditional support carriers that have been commonly employed for enzyme immobilization. The porous structured beads (silica, alginate etc.), membranes and fibers (>100 μm) have some inhere...

I magine a three-dimensional city that is twelve times higher that the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. It is the largest structure on the world and it floats over Tokyo Bay while being build largely by robots. It ...

The growth rate and uniformity of Carbon Nano Tubes (CNTs) based on Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique is investigated by using a numerical model. In this reactor, inlet gas mixture, including xylene as carbon source and mixture of argon and hydrogen as  carrier gas enters into a horizontal CVD reactor at atmospheric pressure. Based on the gas phase and surface reactions, released carbon...

Background & objectives: Xylene, which can pollute the water sources, is widely used as a solvent in insecticide manufacture, dye and leather and other industries. Adsorption is one of the most common processes used to treat the contaminated aqueous solutions by xylene. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the xylene removal efficiency and adsorption isotherms of magnetic nanoparticl...

in the present study, removal of dibenzothiophene (dbt) from model oil (n-hexane) was investigated using magnetic activated carbon (mac) nano-composite adsorbent. the synthesized nano-composite was characterized by ft-ir, fe-sem, bet and vsm techniques. the mac nano-composite exhibited a nearly superparamagnetic property with a saturation magnetization (ms) of 29.2 emu g-1, which made it desira...
