Using first principles-density functional theory, a theoretical study of the electronic properties of (5, 5) armchair single-walled carbon nanotube doped with transitions metals (Fe, Co and Ni) is presented. The generalized gradient approximation was used for the exchange-correlation potentials. The energy cut-off of…
Reversible wettability on the polycrystalline diamond film was investigated through the alternation of hydrogen and oxygen plasma treatment. This can be ascribed to the reversible switching of the surface terminal chemical properties between two different states. The water contact angle could be varied between 5.9 deg…
Electropolymerization of 3,4-(2-benzylpropylene)-dioxythiophene (ProDOT-Bz) on (approximately 7 microm diameter) single carbon fiber microelectrodes (SCFMEs) in different electrolytes resulted the network of nanofiber structure. Electropolymerization performed in different electrolytes by using cyclovoltammetric techn…
Molecular imaging based on MRI requires the use of amplification strategies in order to achieve sufficient sensitivity for the detection of low-level molecular markers. Recently, we described a combination of two amplification methods: (i) the use of paramagnetic liposomes that can be prepared with a high payload of G…
Single-walled carbon nanotube films are promising candidates for applications requiring transparent conductors due to their low sheet resistance and high transparency in the visible region. Vacuum filtration is a common and easy to implement technique to produce such films but it is complicated by the need to transfer…
The effects of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ions on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of UNS N08800 are investigated using constant extension rate tensile (CERT) tests at 300 °C in simulated crevice chemistries. The presence of lead contamination in the crevice chemistries increases significantly the SCC susceptib…
This work presents a review of the recent advances on the low-dimensional (LD) silver nanostructures (e.g., one-dimensional nanorods and nanowires, and two-dimensional nanoplates and nanodisks). First, the methods, either physical or chemical, for the synthesis of silver LD nanostructures are introduced. Then, the use…
Conductivity of yttria stabilized zirconia produced from weakly agglomerated nanopowder was investigated by ac impedance spectroscopy. Dense ceramic samples with the grain size from 90 to 800 nm were prepared at the variation of both pressing and sintering conditions. It was found that the bulk conductivity is not aff…
In this work, the surface modification of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was carried out by using a 2-step plasma modification with Ar followed by acrylic acid (AAc). The optimal conditions were found to be 0.5 min with Ar at 0.7 mbar; and 5 min with AAc at 0.2 mbar. The water contact angle (WCA) of the native PDMS dec…
Although the presence of manufactured nanoparticles in the aquatic environment is still largely undocumented, their release could certainly occur in the future, particularly via municipal treatment plant effluents of cities supporting nano-industries. To get an initial estimate of the environmental behavior of nanomat…
This study demonstrates a facile approach for one-step synthesis and self-assembly of silver nanoparticles at ambient conditions. It was found that pyrogallol acid (PYA) can play multiple roles in the proposed synthesis, including a reducing agent, a stabilizer, and a linking agent for assembly. Silver ions can be rea…
Highly luminescent water-soluble CdTe quantum dots were synthesized with an electrogenerated precursor. The size, morphology, optical properties as well as fluorescence stability were characterized by transmission electron microscope, high-resolution transmission electron microscope, powder X-ray diffraction, UV-vis-N…
Arrays of nanowires with identical length are fabricated by using ultrasound to remove the length fluctuation among nanowires, which are deliberately grown in burette-shaped nanochannels on an anodic anumina film. The process allows the fabrication of 10 micron Ag-nanowire arrays with length fluctuation as small as 0.…
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanocomposites with different loadings of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) were prepared by a melt compounding technique. The isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization behavior of neat PVDF and PVDF/CNT nanocomposites were studied using differential scanning calorimetry. The cryst…
Uniform and highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays were fabricated by the electrochemical anodic oxidation on Ti-6Al-4V surface, using graphite plate as cathode and ethylene glycol (EG) with addition of a certain amount of H2O and NH4F as electrolyte, and the anodization voltage went up to a presetting voltage by stepwis…
In this paper, we report a flexible inorganic/organic heterostructure light-emitting diode, in which inorganic ZnO nanowires are the optically active components and organic polyaniline (PANI) is the hole-transporting layer. The fabrication of the hybrid LED is as follows, the ordered single-crystalline ZnO nanowires w…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a class of new allotrope of carbon. Different functionalized CNTs may vary from their physical and chemical properties to the biological property. In this study, the toxicity of water-soluble taurine multi-walled CNTs (tau-MWNTs), raw MWNTs and positive control crystalline silicon dioxide p…
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabrics were treated by radio frequency inductively coupled plasma (RF-ICP) to modify their hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. Types of gases which were SF6, O2, N2 and Ar, treatment time, pressure and RF power were varied systematically. The water droplet contact angle measuremen…
The expanded application of carbon nanotubes and increased annual production has recently sparked public interest concerning associated and potentially adverse exposure effects. As very little is known with regard to the toxicology and underlying mechanism of the phenomena termed "single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)…
Nanomaterials have very unique chemical and physical properties that suggest potential health hazards, but limited health and safety information exists for engineered nanomaterials. This review identifies a need for expanding efforts for addressing health and safety concerns in nanotechnology development and in nanoto…
