We successfully decorated multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with silver by reacting Ag-NPs with thiolfunctionalized MWNT-SH. Ag alkylcarbamate complex was used as an Ag precursor. Uniform Ag-NPs (5-10 nm) were effectively prepared by microwaving within 60 s using 1-amino-4-methylpiperazine (AMP), which acts as a rea…

An important feature necessary for biological stability of gold nanoparticles is resistance to ligand exchange. Here, we design and synthesize self-assembled monolayers of mixtures of small ligands on gold nanoparticles promoting high resistance to ligand exchange. We use as ligands short thiolated peptidols, e.g. H-C…

We experimentally investigated a torsional actuator consisting of a carbon nanotube (CNT). Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the CNT, from its flattened state when energetically stable at room temperature, changes states reversibly to a tubular state depending on the amount of current applied to the CNT.…

The manufacturing of a porous silicon Bragg reflector on P+ silicon substrate is investigated and the effects of oxidation on the Bragg reflector parameters is studied, notably the shift of the central wavelength after oxidation. This Letter shows how to anticipate the changes due to oxidation rather than to endure th…
