Biothermal Sensing of a Torsional Artificial Muscle
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2016-01-25)
Biomolecule responsive materials have been studied intensively for use in biomedical applications as smart systems because of their unique property of responding to specific biomolecules under mild conditions. However, ...
Microwave Conductance of Aligned Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Textile Sheets
(2014-12-30)
Multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) sheets are a class of nanomaterial-based multifunctional textile with potentially useful microwave properties. To understand better the microwave electrodynamics, complex AC conductance ...
Electrochemically Gated Organic Photovoltaic with Tunable Carbon Nanotube Cathodes
(2013-10-18)
We demonstrate an organic photovoltaic (OPV) device with an electrochemically gated carbon nanotube (CNT) charge collector. Bias voltages applied to the gate electrode reconfigure the common CNT electrode from an anode ...
High-Performance Biscrolled MXene/Carbon Nanotube Yarn Supercapacitors
Yarn-shaped supercapacitors (YSCs) once integrated into fabrics provide promising energy storage solutions to the increasing demand of wearable and portable electronics. In such device format, however, it is a challenge ...
Superconductivity in an inhomogeneous bundle of metallic and semiconducting nanotubes
(2013-09-06)
Using Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism for inhomogeneous systems, we have studied superconducting properties of a bundle of packed carbon nanotubes, making a triangular lattice in the bundle's transverse cross-section. The ...
A Carbon Nanotube-based Raman-imaging Immunoassay For Evaluating Tumor Targeting Ligands
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-04-16)
Herein, we describe a versatile immunoassay that uses biotinylated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as a Raman label, avidin-biotin chemistry to link targeting ligands to the label, and confocal Raman microscopy to ...
A Simple/Green Process for the Preparation of Composite Carbon Nanotube Fibers/Yarns
(2014-09-04)
We report a simple and green process to prepare poly(vinyl alcohol)/carbon nanotube (PVA/CNT) composite fibers having high mechanical properties. This process, an environmentally friendly one with no use of acid or hazardous ...
Orthogonal Pattern of Spinnable Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Effectiveness
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019-05-02)
The need for thin and lightweight electromagnetic interference shielding materials is rapidly increasing in several industries, such as aerospace and telecommunication. This research finds that a shielding material, which ...
Conductive Functional Biscrolled Polymer and Carbon Nanotube Yarns
(2013-10-10)
Biscrolling aligned electrospun fiber (AEF) sheets and carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets were fabricated for conductive, functional yarns by a versatile dry composite method. Our biscrolling (twist-based spinning) method is ...
Magnetic Torsional Actuation of Carbon Nanotube Yarn Artificial Muscle
Magnetically driven torsional actuation of a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) yarn was realized by first biscrolling NdFeB magnetic particles into helical yarn corridors to make a magnetic MWNT yarn. The actuating device ...
