Selective cell targeting with light-absorbing microparticles and nanoparticles. (1/401)

We describe a new method for selective cell targeting based on the use of light-absorbing microparticles and nanoparticles that are heated by short laser pulses to create highly localized cell damage. The method is closely related to chromophore-assisted laser inactivation and photodynamic therapy, but is driven solely by light absorption, without the need for photochemical intermediates (particularly singlet oxygen). The mechanism of light-particle interaction was investigated by nanosecond time-resolved microscopy and by thermal modeling. The extent of light-induced damage was investigated by cell lethality, by cell membrane permeability, and by protein inactivation. Strong particle size dependence was found for these interactions. A technique based on light to target endogenous particles is already being exploited to treat pigmented cells in dermatology and ophthalmology. With exogenous particles, phamacokinetics and biodistribution studies are needed before the method can be evaluated against photodynamic therapy for cancer treatment. However, particles are unique, unlike photosensitizers, in that they can remain stable and inert in cells for extended periods. Thus they may be particularly useful for prelabeling cells in engineered tissue before implantation. Subsequent irradiation with laser pulses will allow control of the implanted cells (inactivation or modulation) in a noninvasive manner.  (+info)

Self-assembly of single integral membrane proteins into soluble nanoscale phospholipid bilayers. (2/401)

One of the biggest challenges in pharmaceutical research is obtaining integral membrane proteins in a functional, solubilized, and monodisperse state that provides a native-like environment that maintains the spectrum of in vivo activities. Many of these integral membrane proteins are receptors, enzymes, or other macromolecular assemblies that are important drug targets. An example is the general class of proteins composed of seven-transmembrane segments (7-TM) as exemplified by the G-protein-coupled receptors. In this article, we describe a simple system for self-assembling bacteriorhodopsin, as a model protein containing 7-TM helices, with phospholipids to form a nanometer-scale soluble bilayer structure encircled by a 200 amino acid scaffold protein. The result is the single molecule incorporation of an integral membrane protein target into a soluble and monodisperse structure that allows the structural and functional tools of solution biochemistry to be applied.  (+info)

DNA nanotubes self-assembled from triple-crossover tiles as templates for conductive nanowires. (3/401)

DNA-based nanotechnology is currently being developed as a general assembly method for nanopatterned materials that may find use in electronics, sensors, medicine, and many other fields. Here we present results on the construction and characterization of DNA nanotubes, a self-assembling superstructure composed of DNA tiles. Triple-crossover tiles modified with thiol-containing double-stranded DNA stems projected out of the tile plane were used as the basic building blocks. Triple-crossover nanotubes display a constant diameter of approximately 25 nm and have been observed with lengths up to 20 microm. We present high-resolution images of the constructs, experimental evidence of their tube-like nature as well as data on metallization of the nanotubes to form nanowires, and electrical conductivity measurements through the nanowires. DNA nanotubes represent a potential breakthrough in the self-assembly of nanometer-scale circuits for electronics layout because they can be targeted to connect at specific locations on larger-scale structures and can subsequently be metallized to form nanometer-scale wires. The dimensions of these nanotubes are also perfectly suited for applications involving interconnection of molecular-scale devices with macroscale components fabricated by conventional photolithographic methods.  (+info)

Self-association process of a peptide in solution: from beta-sheet filaments to large embedded nanotubes. (4/401)

Lanreotide is a synthetic octapeptide used in the therapy against acromegaly. When mixed with pure water at 10% (w/w), Lanreotide (acetate salt) forms liquid crystalline and monodisperse nanotubes with a radius of 120 A. The molecular and supramolecular organization of these structures has been determined in a previous work as relying on the lateral association of 26 beta-sheet filaments made of peptide noncovalent dimers, the basic building blocks. The work presented here has been devoted to the corresponding self-association mechanisms, through the characterization of the Lanreotide structures formed in water, as a function of peptide (acetate salt) concentration (from 2% to 70% (w/w)) and temperature (from 15 degrees C to 70 degrees C). The corresponding states of water were also identified and quantified from the thermal behavior of water in the Lanreotide mixtures. At room temperature and below 3% (w/w) Lanreotide acetate in water, soluble aggregates were detected. From 3% to 20% (w/w) long individual and monodisperse nanotubes crystallized in a hexagonal lattice were evidenced. Their molecular and supramolecular organizations are identical to the ones characterized for the 10% (w/w) sample. Heating induces the dissolution of the nanotubes into soluble aggregates of the same structural characteristics as the room temperature ones. The solubilization temperature increases from 20 degrees C to 70 degrees C with the peptide concentration and reaches a plateau between 15% and 25% (w/w) in peptide. These aggregates are proposed to be the beta-sheet filaments that self-associate to build the walls of the nanotubes. Above 20% (w/w) of Lanreotide acetate in water, polydisperse embedded nanotubes are formed and the hexagonal lattice is lost. These embedded nanotubes exhibit the same molecular and supramolecular organizations as the individual monodisperse nanotubes formed at lower peptide concentration. The embedded nanotubes do not melt in the range of temperature studied indicating a higher thermodynamic stability than individual nanotubes. In parallel, the thermal behaviors of water in mixtures containing 2-80% (w/w) in peptide have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry, and three different types of water were characterized: 1), bulk water melting at 0 degrees C, 2), nonfreezing water, and 3), interfacial water melting below 0 degrees C. The domains of existence and coexistence of these different water states are related to the different Lanreotide supramolecular structures. All these results were compiled into a binary Lanreotide-water phase diagram and allowed to propose a self-association mechanism of Lanreotide filaments into monodisperse individual nanotubes and embedded nanotubes.  (+info)

RNA-mediated metal-metal bond formation in the synthesis of hexagonal palladium nanoparticles. (5/401)

RNA sequences have been discovered that mediate the growth of hexagonal palladium nanoparticles. In vitro selection techniques were used to evolve an initial library of approximately 10(14) unique RNA sequences through eight cycles of selection to yield several active sequence families. Of the five families, all representative members could form crystalline hexagonal palladium platelets. The palladium particle growth occurred in aqueous solution at ambient temperature, without any endogenous reducing agent, and at low concentrations of metal precursor (100 micromolar). Relative to metal precursor, the RNA concentration was significantly lower (1 micromolar), yet micrometer-size crystalline hexagonal palladium particles were formed rapidly (7.5 to 1 minutes).  (+info)

Tracking the recruitment of diabetogenic CD8+ T-cells to the pancreas in real time. (6/401)

Development of autoimmune diabetes in both humans and mice is preceded by a prolonged period of inflammation of pancreatic islets by autoreactive T-cells. Noninvasive imaging techniques, including positron-emission tomography and optical or magnetic resonance imaging, have been used to track the recruitment of lymphocytes to sites of inflammation. These techniques, however, rely on labeling strategies that are non-antigen specific and do not allow specific tracking of the recruitment of autoreactive lymphocytes. Here we describe an antigen-specific magnetic label to selectively target a prevalent population of diabetogenic CD8(+) T-cells that contribute to the progression of insulitis to overt diabetes in NOD mice. Superparamagnetic nanoparticles coated with multiple copies of a high-avidity peptide/major histocompatibility complex ligand of these T-cells (NRP-V7/K(d)) are endocytosed by CD8(+) T-cells in an antigen-specific manner. Using these T-cells as probes, we show that inflammation of pancreatic islets by autoreactive T-cells can be detected in real time by magnetic resonance imaging. This study demonstrates the feasibility of visualizing the presence of ongoing autoimmune responses noninvasively.  (+info)

Preparation of DNA-modified nanoparticles and preliminary study for colorimetric SNP analysis using their selective aggregations. (7/401)

DNA-modified nanospheres were prepared by anchoring amino-terminated oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) with carboxylates onto a colored polystyrene sphere surface through amido bonds. About 220 ODN molecules were immobilized onto a nanosphere 40 nm in diameter. Preliminary studies using the microspheres with 1 microm diameter reveal that the specificity of hybridization was retained after modification. Three kinds of differently colored (RGB, red/green/blue) nanospheres bearing unique ODNs on their surface were prepared for detecting the p53 gene. Each ODN is complementary to a different part in the 45mer sample that is a part of a conservative region of the p53 gene containing one of the hot spots. In a binary system using spheres R and G, the wild-type 45mer made the aggregates with yellow emission as the result of mixing both colors. The mutant 45mer containing one nucleotide displacement did not give such aggregates with distinct colors. The study of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) showed that spheres R and G directly contact each other in the aggregates with the wild type. The RGB ternary system gave aggregates with specific colors corresponding to the added ODN samples, wild type or mutant. In addition, in the presence of both samples, all of the spheres formed aggregates with white emission as a consequence of mixing three primary colors of light. This means that the present technique should allow us to conduct an allele analysis.  (+info)

Energetic clues to pathways to biomineralization: precursors, clusters, and nanoparticles. (8/401)

Nanoparticle and nanocluster precursors may play a major role in biomineralization. The small differences in enthalpy and free energy among metastable nanoscale phases offer controlled thermodynamic and mechanistic pathways. Clusters and nanoparticles offer concentration and controlled transport of reactants. Control of polymorphism, surface energy, and surface charge on nanoparticles can lead to morphological control and appropriate growth rates of biominerals. Rather than conventional nucleation and growth, assembly of nanoparticles may provide alternative mechanisms for crystal growth. The Ostwald step rule, based on a thermodynamic view of nucleation and growth, is supported by the observation that more metastable phases tend to have lower surface energies. Examples from nonbiological systems, stressing the interplay of thermodynamic and kinetic factors, illustrate features potentially important to biomineralization.  (+info)

Functionalized Boron Nitride Nanotubes - Energy Innovation PortalFunctionalized Boron Nitride Nanotubes - Energy Innovation Portal
A plasma treatment has been used to modify the surface of BNNTs. In one example, the surface of the BNNT has been modified using ammonia plasma to include amine functional groups. Amine functionalization allows BNNTs to be soluble in chloroform, which had not been possible previously. Further functionalization of amine-functionalized BNNTs with thiol-terminated organic molecules has also been demonstrated. Gold nanoparticles have been self-assembled at the surface of both amine- and thiol-functionalized boron nitride Nanotubes (BNNTs) in solution. This approach constitutes a basis for the preparation of highly functionalized BNNTs and for their utilization as nanoscale templates for assembly and integration with other nanoscale materials.

Boron Nitride Nanotubes functionalized with glucosamine as a potential novel carrier system for radioisotope and drug deliveryBoron Nitride Nanotubes functionalized with glucosamine as a potential novel carrier system for radioisotope and drug delivery
In the present work, Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) were synthesized and submitted to a functionalization process (coating) with glucosamine. The nanostructures were physicochemical and morphologically characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy and Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS). Furthermore, in vitro tests were conducted to evaluate the cytocompatibility of the nanostructures. The results revealed that nanotubes presented size, polydispersity index and Zeta potential adequate to applied in vivo studies. The cytocompatibility test were conducted in normal MRC-5 fibroblast lung cells, through MTT and DAPI assays. The results revealed, in tested concentrations (0.1; 10; 50; 100; 200 µ/mL), that BNNTs no presented a cytotoxic profile and negligible DNA changes. Considering the results obtained, the BNNTs showed adequate characteristic to be applied as novel carrier system for radioisotope and drug delivery.

Boron nitride aerogel - WikipediaBoron nitride aerogel - Wikipedia
Boron nitride aerogel is an aerogel made of highly porous boron nitride (BN). It typically consists of a mixture of deformed boron nitride nanotubes and nanosheets. It can have a density as low as 0.6 mg/cm3 and a specific surface area as high as 1050 m2/g, and therefore has potential applications as an absorbent, catalyst support and gas storage medium. BN aerogels are highly hydrophobic and can absorb up to 160 times their mass in oil. They are resistant to oxidation in air at temperatures up to 1200 °C, and hence can be reused after the absorbed oil is burned out by flame. BN aerogels can be prepared by template-assisted chemical vapor deposition at a temperature ~900 °C using borazine as the feed gas. Alternatively it can be produced by ball milling h-BN powder, ultrasonically dispersing it in water, and freeze-drying the dispersion.

Self-organized anodic titania (TiO2) nanotube arrays are an interesting model anode material for use in Li-ion batteries owing to their excellent rate capability, their cycling stability and their enhanced safety compared to graphite. A composite material where carbothermally treated conductive TiO2 nanotubes are used as support for a thin silicon film has been shown to have the additional advantage of high lithium storage capacity. This article presents a detailed comparison of the structure, surface and bulk morphology of self-organized conductive TiO2 nanotube arrays, with and without silicon coating, using a combination of X-ray diffraction, X-ray reflectivity, grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and time-of-flight grazing-incidence small-angle neutron scattering (TOF-GISANS) techniques. X-ray diffraction shows that the nanotubes crystallize in the anatase structure with a preferred (004) orientation. GISAXS and TOF-GISANS are used to study the morphology of the nanotube ...

Gold nanorods as dual photo-sensitizing and imaging agents for two-photon photodynamic therapy | ScholarBank@NUSGold nanorods as dual photo-sensitizing and imaging agents for two-photon photodynamic therapy | [email protected]
Gold nanorods with three different aspect ratios were prepared and their dual capabilities for two-photon imaging and two-photon photodynamic therapy have been demonstrated. These gold nanorods exhibit large two-photon absorption action cross-sections, about two orders of magnitude larger than small organic molecules, which makes them suitable for two-photon imaging. They can also effectively generate singlet oxygen under two-photon excitation, significantly higher than traditional photosensitizers such as Rose Bengal and Indocyanine Green. Such high singlet oxygen generation capability under two-photon excitation was ascribed to their large two-photon absorption cross-sections. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coated gold nanorods displayed excellent biocompatibility and high cellular uptake efficiency. The two-photon photodynamic therapy effect and two-photon fluorescence imaging properties of PVP coated gold nanorods have been successfully demonstrated on HeLa cells in vitro using fluorescence ...

Graphene boron nitride nanohybrid materials - WikipediaGraphene boron nitride nanohybrid materials - Wikipedia
Graphene-Boron Nitride nanohybrid materials are a class of compounds created from graphene and boron nitride nanosheets. Graphene and boron nitride both contain intrinsic thermally conductive and electrically insulative properties. The combination of these two compounds may be useful to advance the development and understanding of electronics. Several efforts have been made to create hybrid nanomaterials to explore their novel properties compared to their individual constituents. Studies have shown that nanohybrid materials distinctively utilize the best aspects of the individual constituents along with their novel functionalities though structural integrity and interfacial chemical bonding of the constituents. Graphene boron nitride nanohybrid materials are created through synthetic methods such as electron beam welding and chemical vapor deposition. Various different heterostructures of graphene and boron nitride can be assembled. Due to their isostructural, nearly lattice matched and ...

The purpose of this study was to develop novel nanoscale biosensors using titania nanotubes (TNTs) made by anodization. Titania nanotubes were produced on pure titanium sheets by anodization at room temperature. In this research, the electrolyte composition ethylene glycol 250 mL/NH4F 1.5 g/DI water 20 mL was found to produce the best titania nanotubes array films for application in amperometric biosensors. The amperometric results exhibit an excellent linearity for uric acid (UA) concentrations in the range between 2 and 14 mg/dL, with 23.3 (µA·cm−2)·(mg/dL)−1 UA sensitivity, and a correlation coefficient of 0.993. The glucose biosensor presented a good linear relationship in the lower glucose concentration range between 50 and 125 mg/dL, and the corresponding sensitivity was approximately 249.6 (µA·cm−2)·(100 mg/dL)−1 glucose, with a correlation coefficient of 0.973.

Chiral assembly of gold nanorods with collective plasmonic circular dichroism response | ScholarBank@NUSChiral assembly of gold nanorods with collective plasmonic circular dichroism response | [email protected]
In this work, a chiral hybrid superstructure has been achieved through a hierarchical, cooperative self-assembly/self-organization process in a multiple-component system comprising of gold nanorods, surfactants, and phospholipids film. This chiral hybrid superstructure presented a signate signal in plasmonic circular dichroism with negative collective plasmonic modes on one side of the plasmon resonance and positive modes on the other side. The origin of such an unusual optical activity is fundamentally different from that of chiral metal nanoparticles/nanoclusters in previous studies. We highlight here a possibility that helical alignment of gold nanorods in the hybrid superstructure would resemble mesogenic molecules in a cholesteric liquid crystalline mesophase, and the Coulomb dipole-dipole interactions between gold nanorods in such a chiral liquid crystalline-like mesophase would give rise to the plasmonic circular dichroism effect. This study also demonstrated a facile approach for ...

Gold nanorods (GNRs) have been widely used for bio-imaging. However, GNRs assisted optical in vivo deep tissue imaging is severely restricted due to signal attenuation, low contrast, complex process or low real-timing. To overcome these problems, we functionalized GNRs with both near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and utilized these co-functionalized GNRs for purely optical in vivo imaging of live mice. Our proposed technology has the combined advantages of high real-timing, high imaging contrast and deep detection ability. The distribution and excretion of intravenously injected GNRs in deep tissues of live mice were observed in vivo for the first time through purely optical imaging. We also demonstrated successfully in vivo biomedical applications of the co-functionalized GNRs to sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping and tumor targeting of mice. The present technology has great future potentials for disease diagnosis and clinical therapies.. ...

Armchair Boron Nitride nanotubes-heterocyclic molecules interactions: A computational descriptionArmchair Boron Nitride nanotubes-heterocyclic molecules interactions: A computational description
|p|Ab-initio calculations using density functional theory (DFT) are used to investigate the non-covalent interactions between single wall armchair boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) with open ends and several heterocyclic molecules: thiophene (T; C|sub|4|/sub|H|sub|4|/sub|S), benzothiophene (BT; C8H6S) and dibenzothiophene (DBT; C|sub|12|/sub|H|sub|8|/sub|S). In the armchair model the nanotubes exhibit (n, n) chirality; here we consider n = 5. The exchange-correlation energies are treated according to the Hamprecht-Cohen-Tozer-Handy functional in the generalized gradient approximation (HCTH-GGA). A base function with double polarization is used. The geometry optimization of (5,5) BNNT-X; X = T, BT and DBT has been carried out using the minimum energy criterion in 5 different configurations of the molecules adsorbed on the nanotube. Our computer simulations have found that the preferential adsorption site of the molecule on the nanotube surface is the parallel configuration for BT and DBT, and at one

Abstract: Neural prostheses have become ever more acceptable treatments for many different types of neurological damage and disease. Here we investigate the use of two different morphologies of titania nanotube arrays as interfaces to advance the longevity and effectiveness of these prostheses. The nanotube arrays were characterized for their nanotopography, crystallinity, conductivity, wettability, surface mechanical properties and adsorption of key proteins: fibrinogen, albumin and laminin. The loosely packed nanotube arrays fabricated using a diethylene glycol based electrolyte, contained a higher presence of the anatase crystal phase and were subsequently more conductive. These arrays yielded surfaces with higher wettability and lower modulus than the densely packed nanotube arrays fabricated using water based electrolyte. Further the adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of the C17.2 neural stem cell line was investigated on the nanotube arrays. The proliferation ratio of the cells as ...

Gold nanorods (GNRs) combined with two-photon microscopy were explored for potential application in imaging of oral carcinogenesis. GNRs have been shown to be effective contrast agents for two photon luminescence in that excitation laser powers required for imaging are low compared to traditional fluorophores. Imaging of cells, ex vivo tissues, and in vivo oral mucosa labeled with GNRs was performed to evaluate potential advantages of these agents in molecular imaging of epithelial carcinogenesis. Powers required to elicit a two-photon luminescence signal from GNRs were determined for cells as well as normal and malignant transformed lesions, 24 hours following injection of GNRs in a hamster model for oral cancer. The strength of the detected emission as the function of the average incident laser power was measured in tissues with and without GNRs to compare the sensitivity of GNRs against tissue autofluorescence. Finally, in vivo imaging was performed immediately following GNR injection to ...

Captured on Video: DNA Nanotubes Build a Bridge Between Two Molecular Posts | Science and TechnologyCaptured on Video: DNA Nanotubes Build a Bridge Between Two Molecular Posts | Science and Technology
In the Johns Hopkins study, these building blocks attached themselves to separate molecular anchor posts, representing where the connecting bridge would begin and end. The segments formed two nanotube chains, each one extending away from its anchor post. Then, like spaghetti in a pot of boiling water, the lengthening nanotube chains wriggled about, exploring their surroundings in a random fashion. Eventually, this movement allowed the ends of the two separate nanotube strands to make contact with one another and snap together to form a single connecting bridge span.. To learn more about how this process occurs, the researchers used microscopes to watch the nanotubes link to their molecular landmarks, which were labeled with different colored fluorescent dyes and attached to transparent glass. The teams video equipment also captured the formation of nanotubes spans, as the two bridge segments lengthened and ultimately connected. Completion of each nanoscale bridge in the accompanying example ...

Well aligned ZnO nanorods have been prepared by a low temperature aqueous chemical growth method, using a biocomposite seed layer of ZnO nanoparticles prepared in starch and cellulose bio polymers. The effect of different concentrations of biocomposite seed layer on the alignment of ZnO nanorods has been investigated. ZnO nanorods grown on a gold-coated glass substrate have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) techniques. These techniques have shown that the ZnO nanorods are well aligned and perpendicular to the substrate, and grown with a high density and uniformity on the substrate. Moreover, ZnO nanorods can be grown with an orientation along the c-axis of the substrate and exhibit a wurtzite crystal structure with a dominant (002) peak in an XRD spectrum and possessed a high crystal quality.

Near-resonant second-order nonlinear susceptibility in c-axis oriented ZnO nanorods (Journal Article) | SciTech ConnectNear-resonant second-order nonlinear susceptibility in c-axis oriented ZnO nanorods (Journal Article) | SciTech Connect
Near-resonant second-harmonic generation (SHG) in c-axis oriented ZnO nanorods is studied under the femtosecond laser with wavelength from 780 nm to 810 nm. A highly efficient SHG is obtained, which is attributed to the d{sub 131} component of the second-order nonlinear susceptibility. The largest d{sub 131} value is estimated to be 10.2 pm/V at the pumping wavelength of 800 nm, which indicates a large SHG response of the c-axis oriented ZnO nanorods in the near-resonant region. Theoretical calculation based on finite-difference time-domain simulation suggests a four-fold local-field enhancement of the SHG. ...

Guru Technology News24: Carbon nanotubes to be replacedGuru Technology News24: Carbon nanotubes to be replaced
The strength of the sp² carbon-carbon bonds gives carbon nanotubes amazing mechanical properties. The stiffness of a material is measured in terms of its Youngs modulus, the rate of change of stress with applied strain. The Youngs modulus of the best nanotubes can be as high as 1000 GPa which is approximately 5x higher than steel. The tensile strength, or breaking strain of nanotubes can be up to 63 GPa, around 50x higher than steel. These properties, coupled with the lightness of carbon nanotubes, gives them great potential in applications such as aerospace. It has even been suggested that nanotubes could be used in the space elevator, an Earth-to-space cable first proposed by Arthur C. Clarke. The electronic properties of carbon nanotubes are also extraordinary. Especially notable is the fact that nanotubes can be metallic or semiconducting depending on their structure. Thus, some nanotubes have conductivities higher than that of copper, while others behave more like silicon. There is ...

A New Nano-Platform for Drug Release via Nanotubular Aluminum OxideA New Nano-Platform for Drug Release via Nanotubular Aluminum Oxide
Nanotubular materials have many favorable properties for drug delivery. We present here a pioneering study of controlled release of a model drug, amoxicillin, from the internal nanopore structure of self-ordered, periodically spaced-apart aluminum oxide with an innovative, nanotubular geometry. This aluminum oxide nanotube geometry has not yet been revealed for biological applications, thus we have selected this oxide nanotube structure and demonstrated its ability as a drug carrier. Controlled, sustained release was achieved for over 5 weeks. The release kinetics from the nanotube layer was thoroughly characterized and it was determined that the amount of drug released was proportional to the square root of time. This type of controlled release and longevity from the nanotube layer has potential for therapeutic surface coatings on medical implants. Furthermore, this type of geometry has many features that are advantageous and biologically relevant for enhancing tissue biointegration.

COMPOSITE CONTAINING CARBONIZED BIOPOLYMERS AND CARBON NANOTUBES AND METHOD OF MAKING THE COMPOSITE - Patent applicationCOMPOSITE CONTAINING CARBONIZED BIOPOLYMERS AND CARBON NANOTUBES AND METHOD OF MAKING THE COMPOSITE - Patent application
0039]Preferably the carbon nanotubes are added to the precursor in such an amount that the weight fraction of carbon nanotubes in the composite after carbonization of the precursor is at least 5%, preferably between 5 and 10%. To adjust the weight fraction of carbon nanotubes to the desired range, the weight loss upon carbonization has to be taken into account. The weight loss of the biopolymer or seaweed can be determined from thermogravimetric studies of the carbonization behavior of the precursor without carbon nanotubes added. When composites containing a pure biopolymer and purified carbon nanotubes are carbonized, it can be reasonably assumed that no consumption of the carbon nanotubes occurs during the carbonization process. On the other hand, when the composite contains raw seaweeds, it cannot be ruled out that the seaweeds contain substances like metal cations like Ca2+, Na.sup.+ and/or K.sup.+ which catalyze the oxidation of carbon, thus leading to a partial consumption of the carbon ...

In this paper we report on a lithium ion battery (LIB) based on improved olivine lithium iron phosphate/carbon (LiFePO4/C) as cathode material and LiNa0.02K0.01FePO4/C synthesized by sol-gel method and TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) with an anatase phasesynthesized through anodization of Ti foil as an anode electrode. Crystallographic structure and surface morphology of the cathode and anode materials were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical characterization of the Li-LiNa0.02K0.01FePO4/C and Li-TNAs half-cells and LiNa0.02K0.01FePO4/C-TNAs full-cell configuration was carried out through cyclic voltammetry (CV) and charge/discharge analysis. The operating potential and the first discharge capacity of the full cell were about 1.7 V and 127 mAhg-1 (at 0.5 C), respectively, and stayed stable for up to 100 cycles with limited capacity fading. Therefore, this system (full-cell) is characterized by enhanced electrochemical properties, a high safety

High-density well-aligned ZnO nanorod array was successfully synthesized on a PLD prepared undoped ZnO film by a catalyst-free method. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy show that the nanorods are well-oriented perpendicular to the substrate. The photoluminescence from free excitons and Raman spectra of the ZnO nanorods reflect the high purity and nearly defect free structure of nanorods. The well-aligned feature of the nanorod array is attributed to the nanorods’ epitaxial growth from the ZnO film ...

Theoretical Investigation on the Solubilization in Water of Functionalized Single-Wall Carbon NanotubesTheoretical Investigation on the Solubilization in Water of Functionalized Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
An important technique to increase the solubility and reactivity of carbon nanotube is through functionalization. In this study, the effects of functionalization of some single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were investigated with the aid of density functional theory. The SWCNT model used in the study consists of a finite, (5, 0) zigzag nanotube segment containing 60 C atoms with hydrogen atoms added to the dangling bonds of the perimeter carbons. There are three water-dispersible SWCNTs used in this study that were functionalized with (a) formic acid, as a model of carboxylic acid, (b) isophthalic acid, as a model aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and (c) benzenesulfonic acid, as a model aromatic sulfonic acid. Binding energies of the organic radicals to the nanotubes are calculated, as well as the HOMO-LUMO gaps and dipole moments of both nanotubes and functionalized nanotubes. Binding was found out to be thermodynamically favorable. The functionalization increases the electrical dipole moments and

From Nanowires to Nanotubes | Max Planck Institute of Microstructure PhysicsFrom Nanowires to Nanotubes | Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics
Compound nanotubes can be produced in various ways: rolling up layered materials, coating pores in templates, or eliminating the core of a core-shell nanowire. In the case of ternary compound nanotubes, most of these methods have limitations. They may need layered materials or templates (e.g., porous alumina). Or the nanotubes produced may have an insufficiently small aspect ratio. Frequently the crystallinity of the nanotubes produced is poor - that is, they consist of many grains that have different crystallographic orientations. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle, Germany, have devised a generic technique for generating nanotubes with very good crystallinity of a ternary compound (i.e., a compound that consists of three different chemical elements).. The scientists fabricated ultra-long single-crystalline ZnAl2O4 spinel nanotubes (total diameter: ~ 40 nm, wall thickness: ~10 nm). Spinels are ternary compounds of type AB2O4 that crystallise in a specific ...

The binding of block copolymer Pluronic F-127 in aqueous dispersions of single- (SWCNT) and multiwalled (MWCNT) carbon nanotubes has been studied by pulsed-field-gradient (PFG) 1H NMR spectroscopy. We show that a major fraction of polymers exist as a free species while a minor fraction is bound to the carbon nanotubes (CNT). The polymers exchange between these two states with residence times on the nanotube surface of 24 ± 5 ms for SWCNT and of 54 ± 11 ms for MWCNT. The CNT concentration in the solution was determined by improved thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) indicating that the concentration of SWCNT dispersed by F-127 was significantly higher than that for MWCNT. For SWCNT, the area per adsorbed Pluronic F-127 molecule is estimated to be about 40 nm 2.. ...

Chemical scissors yield short carbon nanotubes | The Engineer The EngineerChemical scissors yield short carbon nanotubes | The Engineer The Engineer
Chemists at Rice University have identified a chemical process for cutting carbon nanotubes into short segments. The new process is said to yield nanotubes that are suitable for a variety of applications, including biomedical sensors small enough to migrate through cells without triggering immune reactions.. The chemical cutting process involves fluorinating the nanotubes, essentially attaching thousands of fluorine atoms to their sides, and then heating the fluoronanotubes to about 1,000 Celsius in an argon atmosphere. During the heating, the fluorine is driven off and the nanotubes are cut into segments ranging in length from 20-300 nanometers.. We have studied several forms of chemical scissors, including other fluorination methods and processes that involve ozonisation of nanotubes, said John Margrave, the E.D. Butcher Professor of Chemistry at Rice University. With most methods, we see a random distribution among the lengths of the cut tubes, but pyrolytic fluorination results in a ...

Noncovalent Engineering of Carbon Nanotube SurfacesNoncovalent Engineering of Carbon Nanotube Surfaces
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), due to their novel structural, thermal, electrical, mechanical and optical properties, are expected to find applications in many fields. Pristine SWNTs are generally insoluble in common solvents, and difficult to functionalize controllably. We recently reported a non-wrapping approach to noncovalent engineering of carbon nanotube surfaces by short, rigid functional conjugated polymers, poly(aryleneethynylene)s (PPE). This method enables the superior control of the relative placement of functionalities on the nanotube surface while still preserving nearly all of the nanotubes intrinsic properties. We report here that the PPE-functionalized SWNTs can be solubilized in various organic solvents and water, and the solubilities are as high as 10 mg/ml. The soluble SWNTs with specific functionalities can be used as novel gelators that can gelate various organic solvents. In contrast to pristine SWNTs, soluble SWNTs can be homogeneously dispersed in commercial polymers

OSA | Probing dielectric interfaces on the nanoscale with elastic scattering patterns of single gold nanorodsOSA | Probing dielectric interfaces on the nanoscale with elastic scattering patterns of single gold nanorods
We study spatially isolated, individual gold nanorods placed at a planar interface between two dielectric media using confocal interference scattering microscopy in combination with higher order laser modes. Approaching refractive index matching conditions, we observe that the elastic scattering patterns of individual nanorods exhibit an exponential increase of both the scattering intensity and the signal-to-background ratio. In case refractive index matching conditions are fullfilled, the data acquisition rates are maximized and suitable for in-vivo biological measurements. In all cases, the characteristic two-lobe shape of the scattering patterns of single nanorods remains unchanged while the sign of the image contrast is a direct consequence of the refractive index variation occurring at the interface.. ©2008 Optical Society of America.

Adsorption of small gas molecules onto Pt-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes | UBC ChemistryAdsorption of small gas molecules onto Pt-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes | UBC Chemistry
The adsorption of small gaseous molecules to the metal center in Pt-doped (5,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes has been explored within density functional theory. A model system consisting of a single Pt atom residing in the middle of a carbon nanotube with capping H atoms is used for our investigation. For all gases studied, the overall process of adsorption was found to be exothermic, where the affinity strongly depended on the orientation of the molecule. By examining the density of states and molecular orbitals of these nanotube-adsorbate complexes in comparison to the bare Pt-doped nanotube, we show that the electronic structure of these materials is strongly influenced by the presence of gases. Hence, we propose an application of Pt-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes as gas sensors and hope to motivate experimental work in this field.. ...

Nanotubes on a chip simplify optical power measurementsNanotubes on a chip simplify optical power measurements
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has demonstrated a novel chip-scale instrument made of carbon nanotubes that may simplify absolute measurements of laser power, especially the light signals transmitted by optical fibers in telecommunications networks.. The prototype device, a miniature version of an instrument called a cryogenic radiometer, is a silicon chip topped with circular mats of carbon nanotubes standing on end.* The mini-radiometer builds on NISTs previous work using nanotubes, the worlds darkest known substance, to make an ultraefficient, highly accurate optical power detector,** and advances NISTs ability to measure laser power delivered through fiber for calibration customers.***. This is our play for leadership in laser power measurements, project leader John Lehman says. This is arguably the coolest thing weve done with carbon nanotubes. Theyre not just black, but they also have the temperature properties needed to make components like electrical ...

Trapping Individual Carbon NanotubesTrapping Individual Carbon Nanotubes
A technique to deterministically manipulate individual Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) has been the brick-wall for the boom of CNT based devices. Here we demonstrate dielectrophoresis as an efficient technique to trap individual Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) and Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT). A coarse control on the number of nanotubes deposited was achieved by controlling the applied voltage and duration of deposition; additionally, a circuit that cuts off the electric field necessary for further CNT deposition after one single CNT deposition has been used. By using an external series resistance during dielectrophoresis, higher than the contact resistance of the carbon nanotube obtained after dielectrophoresis, we are able to limit the deposition to individual nanotubes. The contact resistance of a single SWCNT obtained by the coarse technique was found to be 80 MΩ. Hence we chose a limiting series resistance of 1 GΩ.

Highly ordered, free-standing titanium dioxide nanotube (TiNT) arrays have been of intense interest to the alternative energies field in recent years due to their barrier-free electron conduction pathway vs. TiO2 nanoparticles in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) designs. TiNT arrays prepared by electrochemical anodization of Ti foils and combined with a transparent, Indium Tin Dioxide coated PET film are attractive candidates for efficient, flexible DSSCs. Flexible solar cells offer great benefits because of the potential for low-cost, roll-to-roll production and the increase in applications due to superior robustness. This approach utilizes a two-step anodization procedure coupled with implementation of a rapid inert gas dehydration and ultrasonic agitation detachment method. By controlling the reaction conditions during anodization (voltage, duration, concentration), TiNT arrays with specific morphology, lengths, and diameters can be tailored to satisfy a particular application such as

Experimental evidence for self-assembly and organization of regioregular poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (rrP3HT) on single-walled carbon nanotubes was obtained using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM images of drop-cast rrP3HT/SWNT composites displayed strong evidence that SWNTs were isolated from each other in a polymer matrix and coated with between 1-3 layers rrP3HT. STM measurements of adsorbed monolayers of rrP3HT on SWNT surfaces were compared to rrP3HT monolayer deposition on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surfaces. The results show that average inter-lamellar distances of adsorbed polymer are greater for rrP3HT monolayers adsorbed onto the curved surfaces of SWNTs than on the flat surfaces of HOPG samples. Analysis of STM images yielded the chiral angles at which the thiophene polymer chains wrap around ...
