Size Separation of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes by Flow-Field Flow Fractionation

April 1, 2008
Author(s)
Jae H. Chun, Jeffrey A. Fagan, Erik K. Hobbie, Barry J. Bauer
Flow-field flow fractionation (Flow-FFF) is used to separate single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) dispersed in aqueous medium by the use of DNA. On-line measurements are made of SWNT concentration, molar mass, and size by using UV-Vis absorption and multi

Relationship between dispersion metric and properties of PMMA/SWNT nanocomposites

June 13, 2007
Author(s)
Takashi Kashiwagi, Jeffrey Fagan, Jack F. Douglas, Kazuya Yamamoto, N. Alan Heckert, Stefan D. Leigh, Jan Obrzut, Fangming Du, Minfang Mu, Sheng Lin-Gibson, K Winey, R Haggenmueller
Particle spatial dispersion is a crucial characteristic of polymer composite materials and this property is recognized as especially important innanocomposite materials due to the general tendency of nanoparticles to aggregate under processing conditions

Measurement of Single Wall Nanotube Dispersion by Size Exclusion Chromatography

May 9, 2007
Author(s)
Barry J. Bauer, Matthew Becker, Vardhan Bajpai, Jeffrey A. Fagan, Erik K. Hobbie, Kalman D. Migler, Charles M. Guttman, William R. Blair
The dispersion of nanotubes in solution is necessary in order to achieve the goal of sorting and manipulating nanotubes by length and type and to then prepare high quality monodisperse samples. A necessary step is the proper characterization of the

Length Fractionation of Carbon Nanotube Using Centrifugation

February 28, 2007
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Fagan, Matthew Becker, Jae H. Chun, Erik K. Hobbie
A recent article by Arnold et al. (Nature Nanotech., 1, 60-65, 2006)1 demonstrated the use of ultracentrifugation on single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) within a density gradient to produce chirality separation of the nanotubes. The authors of this letter

Length Dependent Uptake of DNA-Wrapped Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

January 1, 2007
Author(s)
Matthew Becker, Jeffrey Fagan, Nathan D. Gallant, Barry J. Bauer, Vardhan Bajpai, Erik K. Hobbie, Silvia H. De Paoli Lacerda, Kalman D. Migler, J P. Jakupciak
DNA-wrapped single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with broad length distributions are shown to reduce the viability of IMR90 primary human lung fibroblast cells above the (23 to 25) ug/mL concentration regime. Furthermore using well-defined length fractions

Optical Anisotropy of Semiconducting Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

January 1, 2007
Author(s)
Jeffrey Fagan, Erik K. Hobbie, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Lee J. Richter, Idan Mandelbaum, Vardhan Bajpai, Derek L. Ho, Barry J. Bauer, Angela HightWalker, Ryan Raffaelle
We measure the full optical anisotropy of individual semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Dispersion of aligned SWNTs in stretched polymer films is confirmed with small-angle scattering and near-infrared fluorescence spectroscopy. By

Comparative Measures of Single Wall Carbon Nanotube Dispersion

September 14, 2006
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Fagan, Brian Landi, Idan Mandelbaum, Vardhan Bajpai, Barry J. Bauer, Kalman D. Migler, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Angela R. Hight Walker, Ryan Raffaelle, Erik K. Hobbie
Model polymer composites of DNA wrapped single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) dispersed in polyacrylic acid are used for a systematic comparison of the different metrologies currently used to evaluate SWNT dispersion. Application of a pH-controlled

Quantitative, Interactive Measurement of Tissue Engineering Scaffold Structure Using Immersive Visualization

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Jeffrey Fagan, Erik K. Hobbie, Brian Landi, Idan Mandelbaum, Vardhan Bajpai, Barry J. Bauer, Kalman D. Migler, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Angela R. Hight Walker, Ryan Raffaelle
At NIST, we are using new approaches to better understand and quantify the structure of tissue engineering scaffolds. This approach uses immersive visualization (IV) and is inherently three dimensional, multivariate and interactive, providing real-time
