1. A Scalable Platform for Integrating Horizontal Nanochannels with Known Registries to Microchannels
Topic: Nanomaterials
Published: 12/8/2008
Author: Babak Nikoobakht
Abstract: A new method for in-situ fabrication of nanochannels is developed which allows adjusting their average pore size to an unprecedented range of 5 nm to 20 nm. It is shown that nanochannels with different but controlled pore sizes are selectively fab ...

2. A parametric interatomic potential for graphene
Topic: Nanomaterials
Published: 2/27/2009
Authors: Vinod K Tewary, B. Yang
Abstract: A parametric interatomic potential is constructed for graphene. The potential energy consists of two parts: bond energy and radial interaction energy. The bond energy part is a generalized version of the Tersoff-Brenner potential. It includes angula ...

3. A spray drying system for synthesis of rare-earth doped cerium oxide nanoparticles
Topic: Nanomaterials
Published: 8/10/2010
Author: Renu Sharma
Abstract: We have constructed a spray-dryer to synthesize doped ceria nanoparticles. This system was employed to synthesize mixed oxide nanoparticles of praseodymium doped (3%, 10% and 20mol %) ceria. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) confirmed the fluorite-like cubic ...

4. Ab initio study of the mechanical and the transport properties of pure and contaminated silver nanowires
Topic: Nanomaterials
Published: Date unknown
Authors: Shmuel Barzilai, Francesca M Tavazza, Lyle E Levine
Abstract: The conductance and mechanical properties of pure and contaminated silver nanowires were studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Several nanowires containing O2 on their surface were elongated along two different directions. All o ...

5. Acoustic Modes and Elastic Properties of Polymeric Nanostructures
Topic: Nanomaterials
Published: 10/21/2005
Authors: R Hartschuh, A Kisliuk, V N Novikov, Alexei Sokolov, Paul R Heyliger, Colm Flannery, Ward L Johnson, Christopher L Soles, Wen-Li Wu
Abstract: Fabricating mechanically robust polymer structures with nanoscale dimensions is critical for a wide range of emerging technologies. The rigidity of such structures is expected to change as the feature sizes approach the characteristic dimensions of ...

6. Aggregation/agglomeration state of carbon nanotubes
Topic: Nanomaterials
Published: 10/12/2012
Authors: Vivek M Prabhu, Toshiya Okazaki, Takeshi Eitoku, Masayoshi Tange, Haruhisa Kato
Abstract: Evaluation of aggregation and agglomeration of carbon nanotube (CNT) solution has been one of the key issues for applications. Here we introduce a simple method based on depolarized dynamic light scattering (DDLS) performed at multiple scattering ang ...

7. Analysis of Au Nanoparticles by Electrospray Differential Mobility Analysis (ES-DMA)
Topic: Nanomaterials
Published: 3/1/2010
Author: Rebecca A Zangmeister
Abstract: This document describes a protocol for size analysis of citrate stabilized gold nanoparticles of nominally 10 nm, 30 nm, and 60 nm sizes using electrospray differential mobility analysis (ES-DMA).  Nanoparticles are centrifuged to remove excess ...

9. Applications of Thermogravimetric Analysis in Quality Control of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Topic: Nanomaterials
Published: 2/1/2010
Authors: Elisabeth Mansfield, Aparna Kar, Stephanie A Hooker
Abstract: Carbon nanotube exhibit a range of chemistries, including mixtures of different nanotube diameters, lengths and chiralities, coupled with various concentrations of metallic and non-nanotube carbon impurities. The performance of a given material for ...

10. Asphaltene Adsorption onto Self-Assembled Monolayers of Mixed Aromatic and Aliphatic Trichlorosilanes
Topic: Nanomaterials
Published: 6/2/2009
Authors: Daniel A Fischer, Saloman Turgman-Cohen, Mathew Smith, P K Kilpatrick, Jan Genzer
Abstract: The adsorption of asphaltenes onto flat solid surfaces modified with mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of aliphatic and aromatic trichlorosilanes with varying wettabilities, aromaticities, and thicknesses is tested. The mixed SAMs are characte ...
