Aqueous suspensions of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) in dilute H2SO4 were sprayed onto both sides of a Nafion membrane and dried to fabricate flexible solid-state supercapacitors. A single cell with MWNT-only electrodes had a capacitance of 57 F g(-1) per electrode at 2 mV s(-1) and 44 F g(-1) at 150 mV s(-1) but with low H(+) mobility. Cells with MWNT + ionomer hybrid electrodes showed h...

In this study, the ability of a multiwalled carbon nanotube functionalized with fluorescein isothiocyanate (MWCNT-FITC) was assessed as a prospective central nervous system-targeting drug delivery system to permeate the blood-brain barrier. The results indicated that the MWCNT-FITC conjugate is able to penetrate microvascular cerebral endothelial monolayers; its concentrations in the Transwell(...

In this article, based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the large-amplitude vibration of multiwalled carbon nanotubes embedded in an elastic medium is investigated. The method of incremental harmonic balance is implemented to solve the set of governing nonlinear equations coupled via the van der Waals (vdW) interlayer force. The influences of number of tube walls, the elastic medium, nanotub...

In this work, it has been investigated the Monkeypox disease which occurs in both humans and animals by infection with a double-stranded DNA virus having symptoms consisting of fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pains like flu. Tecovirimat drug can be applied prohibition monkeypox through adsorbing onto surface single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) as delivery method due to direct electron transf...

We have constructed a robust β-helical nanotube from the component proteins of bacteriophage T4 and modified this nanotube with Ru(II)(bpy)(3) and Re(I)(bpy)(CO)(3)Cl complexes. The photocatalytic system arranged on the tube catalyzes the reduction of CO(2) with higher reactivity than that of the mixture of the monomeric forms.

This research program investigated critical fabrication aspects, mechanical and electrical properties, andpotential applications of a novel carbon nanotube material, named shear-pressed sheet. This material isfabricated from the chemical vapor deposition grown, tall aligned carbon nanotube arrays, with the use ofautomated shear-pressing device. It was shown that such sheets, having ...

The discovery of carbon nanostructures, such as nanotubes and C60 fullerenes, has given rise to a number of potential nanoscale devices. One such device is the gigahertz oscillator, comprising an inner shell sliding inside an outer shell of a multiwalled carbon nanotube, and which, at least theoretically, generates oscillatory frequencies in the gigahertz range. Following the concept of these g...

Quantum dots defined in carbon nanotubes are a platform for both basic scientific studies and research into new device applications. In particular, they have unique properties that make them attractive for studying the coherent properties of single-electron spins. To perform such experiments it is necessary to confine a single electron in a quantum dot with highly tunable barriers, but disorder...

In electrochemical glucose sensing, the enhancement of sensitivity and response time is essential in developing stable reliable sensors, especially for continuous monitoring. We developed a method to increase shorten sensing upon appropriate addition single wall carbon nanotube onto osmium polymer-based hydrogel electrode. Also, background stabilization dramatically enhanced. Keywords: Continuo...
