Optical properties of carbon nanotubes

Polydimethylsiloxane is a silicone based polymer which is commonly used in huge flexible electronics applications due to its unique properties such as optically clear, inert to chemical compounds, and good mechanical strength when compared to the existing flexible substrate. PDMS are the most preferred substarte due to its ease of processing and its biocompatibility (Peterson et al. 2005; Ostuni et al. 2000; De Silva et al.2004; Tan et al. 2003; du Roure et al. 2005).

exposure, viral and sexual factors. Nanotechnology is a novel technology what generally deals with structures and systems with a size less than 100nm. [1] Due to its unique tiny size, the properties are quite different from bulk properties include physical properties, chemistry properties, biological properties. For example, gold in bulk form is inert, but in nano scale, it tends to be very active. Moreover, different sizes, structures, and surface areas of gold nanoparticles make it exhibit different

conductive electrode, and many other possible applications. Measuring micromechanically peeling layer graphene has been experimentally studied for over 40 years, and transport properties of graphene, the growth in [16among many other potential applications. Graphene is experimental study for over 40 years, and the transport properties of the release layer was measured micromechanically graphene grown in a growth in the copper (Cu) largearea graphene substrate, and a variety of chemical modifi version involves

Graphene is a recently isolated allotrope of carbon, consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged into an inter-connected benzene-ring structure (Figure 1).1 Resembling a hexagonal honeycomb lattice or a chain-link fence in structure, graphene is only one atom thick and is thus considered a two-dimensional material.1 It is currently touted as the thinnest, strongest, lightest, most flexible and best conducting material known to science.2 Although some of this is based on theoretical data

What makes carbon so special? Carbon, is a natural occurring elements found in many different compounds such as the food we eat, the clothes we wear and the gasoline that fuels our cars. In addition, carbon plays an important role in the chemistry of life due to its ability to make four bonds with surrounding atoms. Additionally, it can easily bond to other carbon atoms which creates a 4-sided building block for the creation of multi-atomic molecules. The basic structures of every known living organisms

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are molecular-scale cylindrical tubes of graphitic carbon1. Their unique structures give them an extremely large surface area, good electronic conductivity, excellent thermal stability and strength. CNTs have been successfully applied in various fields such as medicine delivery2, aerospace3, construction4 and incorporated into numerous consumer products5, with potential uses in everything from tennis racquets and bulletproof vests to electronic components and energy storage

cell sample by fixation and staining with antibody and an optical-based detection. All in all, the process may take up to several days before results are retrieved. The development of an on-site, immediate monitoring system will greatly benefit our understanding of DNA damage causes and prevention as well assessment of radiation risk by tracking such events instantaneously. Our proposed device is based on individually addressable carbon-nanotube (CNT)- array capable of multiplexing for detection of multiple

industry etc. This is mainly because of unique mechanical, chemical, electronic and optical properties of nanomaterials. Particularly, construction industry may possibly be one of the chief beneficiaries of these materials, because the properties of concrete, steel, glass and other building materials will improve with the applications of nanomaterials. Therefore, the potential use of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, Cu nanoparticles, Ag nanoparticles, TiO2, SiO2, Al2O3, ZrO2, and Fe2O3 nano-oxides

used as a versatile scaffold for constructing multifunctional membranes. They fabricated CNF-based composite nanofibers, containing different metallic composits through various chemical routes and analysed their inherit dimension and mechanical properties along with application potentials of these membranes in magnetic actuation and continuous-flow catalysis. Murugan et al. (2011) described the current status of variable biofunctionalized nanoparticles and their antibacterial applications which

Abstract Genetic instability and the accumulation of several molecular alterations are the cause of cancers through the development of a proliferative cell mass. However, it is restricted to the current prognostic and diagnostic classifications since there is no reflection of the entire tumor clinical heterogeneity. Therefore, they are not sufficient in making predictions for the adequate treatment of patients. The chances of survival for the patients suffering from cancer normally depends on the
