FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:667496 FIELD Abstract:This paper reports the scaled-up self-assembly of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on the inside wall of a long silica-lined steel capillary tubing for applications such as chem. processing and sepns. A unique one step self-assembly process has been developed and the effect of the substrate on the morphol. of the CVD growth has been studied. With the aerosol spray of an ethanolic soln. consisting of dissolved cobalt and molybdenum as metal catalysts and co-catalysts resp., the catalyst was generated and activated in situ inside the interior of the tubing, in parallel with the synthesis of SWCNTs, thus eliminating the need to coat the substrate with the catalyst prior to the synthesis of the nanotubes. The presence of a silica layer on the steel tubing was found to be crit. for the formation of SWCNTs. Gas chromatog. sepn. of arom. compds. is demonstrated on the capillary tube.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:653722 FIELD Abstract:In recent years, highly sensitive and selective as well as cost-effective sensing and detection of biomols. (e.g. virus, bacterial, DNA and protein) by MEMS/NEMS (Micro-/Nano Electro- Mech.-System) structures have attracted extensive attention for its importance in clin. diagnostics, treatment, and various genome projects. Meanwhile, Substantial research efforts have been spent on the improvement of sensitivity of bioMEMS structures. Among a variety of methods that have been investigated, surface modification by nanoparticles (NPs) turns out to be an attractive way, which provides a platform for the enhancement of the sensitivity for biosensor devices. However, conventional applications for surface modification were mostly implemented on microelectrodes. Thus, in this paper, we demonstrate a new approach for surface enhancement on Au-coated silicon microcantilevers in micro-/nano-system. By self-assembly surface binding of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the Au monolayer on top of the Si microcantilever surfaces, much larger surface area could be created for bio-mol. binding (such as antibodies or single DNA strands, which act as probes to capture target mols.). Therefore, this could enable specific interactions and selective binding to target biomols. with a very low sample size, which greatly increases the sensitivity of detection. It should be noted that functionalization of MWCNTs with terminal carboxylic functionalities (in DCC soln.) onto the Au surfaces of Si microchips have been introduced in our study. Further applications of MWCNTs functionalization are worth exploring in biomol. detection for their exceptional mech. and unique electronic properties. The successful binding of MWCNTs was testified as shown obviously on AFM image (Figure 1 and 2). [on SciFinder (R)] FIELD Author:He, Johnny H.; Sun, Shao-qing; Ye, Jian-Shan; Lim, Tit Meng.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:644840 FIELD Abstract:An investigation of the influence of droplet size conditions and monomer choice on electrospun carbon nanofiber properties is presented. Monomer choices included poly (e-caprolactone) and poly (Me methacrylate) with and without the addn. of single walled carbon nanotubes. A key property under investigation is the effect of electrospinning conditions on the resulting carbon nanofiber elasticity. Carbon nanofiber elasticity investigations are performed using at. force microscopy with force vol. imaging and the Force Integration to Equal Limits mapping method. A monomer choice of poly (e-caprolactone) with a syringe bore radius of 406.4 m is shown to produce electrospun carbon nanofibers with acceptable morphologies for tissue scaffold applications.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:618607 FIELD Abstract:We present the exptl. results and theor. model describing new adsorption kinetics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (swCNTs) onto self-assembled monolayer (SAM) including their sliding motion. The adsorption behavior of swCNTs on large-size SAM patterns is similar to the Langmuir isotherm, while that on nanoscale patterns shows a significant deviation which can be explained by the sliding motion of adsorbed nanotubes. The \"sliding chamber\" expt. confirms that swCNTs can align along the SAM patterns by sliding motion right above the SAM surfaces. This result provides new scientific insights regarding the adsorption kinetics of one-dimensional nanostructures, and, from a practical point of view, it can be an important guideline to design SAM patterns to assemble carbon nanotubes and nanowires into desired device structures.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:587379 FIELD Abstract:The electronic properties of porphyrin zinc aggregates wired using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are described. A self-assembled structure is formed by casting a soln. of SWNTs and 5,15-bispentylporphyrinato zinc(II) (BPP-Zn) onto a substrate (see figure). Rectifying behavior has been obsd. at SWNT/BPP-Zn junctions, although no rectification is seen for bare SWNTs. The results show that aggregates of even a few BPP-Zn mols. work as a rectifying device with SWNT wiring.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:534990 FIELD Abstract:The authors present a simple and versatile method for linking single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) together through DNA by non-covalent chem. using streptavidin-biotin recognition complex. Streptavidin coated SWNTs are reacted with biotin or bis-biotin ended DNA double strands leading to SWNT-DNA and SWNT-DNA-SWNT adducts in high yield. This method avoids strong acidic treatment of SWNTs prior to functionalization as usually required in covalent routes. Complementary characterizations by gel electrophoresis and AFM demonstrated the efficiency of the present binding method. In addn., SWNTs bound to DNA can be aligned on a substrate using the combing properties of DNA strands, bringing a new tool into the toolkit for self-assembling SWNTs onto surfaces.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:529606 FIELD Abstract:Shearing of poly(vinyl alc.) (PVA)/single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) dispersions result in the formation of self-assembled oriented PVA/SWNT fibers or ribbons, while PVA soln. results in the formation of unoriented fibers. Diam./width and length of these self-assembled fibers was 5-45 mm and 0.5-3 mm, resp. High-resoln. transmission electron micrographs showed well resolved PVA (200) lattice with mols. oriented parallel to the nanotube axis. Nanotube orientation in the self-assembled fibers was also detd. from Raman spectroscopy. PVA fibers exhibited about 48% crystallinity, while crystallinity in PVA/SWNT fibers was 84% as detd. by wide angle X-ray diffraction. PVA and carbon nanotubes were at an angle of 25-40 Deg to the self-assembled fiber axis. In comparison to PVA, PVA/SWNT samples exhibited significantly enhanced electron beam radiation resistance. This study shows that single wall carbon nanotubes not only nucleate polymer crystn., but also act as a template for polymer orientation.

Combining bottom-up self-assembly of catalyst-contg. block copolymers with top-down microfabrication processing, plateaus covered with arrays of catalytically active nanostructures have been generated. Spatially selective growth of suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes over a large surface area has been achieved. Greatly enhanced Raman signals have been detected from the suspended tubes. This facile method of creating highly ordered catalyst nanostructures on top of posts enables the rational synthesis of suspended carbon nanotubes, thus facilitating the study of CNT properties by optical methods and enabling the fabrication of devices based on suspended CNTs.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:436583 FIELD Abstract:We report a new phenomenon, named here as the \"lens\" effect, in the directed-assembly process of nanowires (NWs) on self-assembled monolayer (SAM) patterns. In this process, the adsorption of NWs is focused in the nanoscale regions at the center of microscale SAM patterns with gradient surface mol. d. just like an optical lens focuses light. As a proof of concepts, we successfully demonstrated the massive assembly of V2O5 NWs and single-walled carbon nanotubes (swCNTs) with a nanoscale resoln. using only microscale mol. patterning methods. This work provides us with important insights about the directed-assembly process, and from a practical point of view, it allows us to generate nanoscale patterns of NWs over a large area for mass fabrication of NW-based devices.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:402790 FIELD Abstract:To measure component-level structural responses due to external loading, strain sensors can provide detailed information pertaining to localized structural behavior. Although current metal foil strain sensors are capable of measuring strain deformations, they suffer from disadvantages including long-term performance issues when deployed in the field environment. This paper presents a novel carbon-nanotube polymer composite thin film that can be tailored for specific strain sensing properties. Beginning at the nano-scale, mol. manipulation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) is performed to control chem. fabrication parameters as a means of establishing a relationship with macroscale bulk sensor properties. This novel strain sensor is fabricated using the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self-assembly process. A rigorous exptl. methodol. is laid out to subject a variety of thin films to tensile-compressive cyclic loading. In particular, SWNT concn., polyelectrolyte concn., and film thickness are varied during the fabrication process to produce a variety of strain sensors. This study correlates fabrication parameters with bulk strain sensor properties; sensor properties including sensitivity (gauge factor), linearity, and hysteresis, are explored.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:386009 FIELD Abstract:A chem. modified gold electrode was conveniently prepd. by binding multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to which thiol functions were tethered. The electrode was characterized by at. force microscopy and oxidative desorption expts. and gives excellent results for trace detn. of As(III) and Bi(III) in natural and high-salinity waters, overcoming the limitation typical of solid electrodes. A mechanism for As(III) preconcn. at the electrode is proposed and supported by results obtained by two similar chem. modified electrodes (CMEs), the 1st one prepd. with single-walled carbon nanotubes and the 2nd one with a monolayer of (biphenyl)dimethanethiol. The performance obtained with the MWCNTs-CME largely overcomes that obtained by using other devices.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:378672 FIELD Abstract:The high polarizability and dielectrophoretic mobility of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) are utilized to capture and detect low nos. of bacteria and submicron particles in milliliter-sized samples. Concd. SWNT solns. are mixed with the sample and a high-frequency (>100 kHz) a.c. (AC) field is applied by a microelectrode array to enhance bulk absorption of the particles (bacteria and nanoparticle substitutes) by the SWNTs via dipole-dipole interaction. The same AC field then drives the SWNT-bacteria aggregates to the microelectrode array by pos.-AC dielectrophoresis (DEP), with enhanced and reversed bacteria DEP mobility due to the attached SWNTs. Since the field frequency exceeds the inverse RC time of the electrode double layer, the AC field penetrates deeply into the bulk and across the electrode gap. Consequently, the SWNTs and absorbed bacteria assemble rapidly (<5 min) into conducting linear aggregates between the electrodes. Measured AC impedance spectra by the same trapping electrodes and fields show a detection threshold of 104 bacteria/mL with this pathogen trapping and concn. technique.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:288659 FIELD Abstract:A detailed study of poly(alkylthiophene) self-assembly and organization on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is presented. Exptl. evidence for self-assembly and organization of regioregular poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (rrP3HT) on single-walled carbon nanotubes was obtained using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM images of drop-cast rrP3HT/SWNT composites displayed strong evidence that SWNTs were isolated from each other in a polymer matrix and coated with between 1-3 layers rrP3HT. STM measurements of adsorbed monolayers of rrP3HT on SWNT surfaces were compared to rrP3HT monolayer deposition on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surfaces. The results show that av. inter-lamellar distances of adsorbed polymer are greater for rrP3HT monolayers adsorbed onto the curved surfaces of SWNTs than on the flat surfaces of HOPG samples. Anal. of STM images yielded the chiral angles at which the thiophene polymer chains wrap around individual carbon nanotubes (41-48 Deg with respect to nanotube axis) while the interchain spacings of adsorbed macromols. was 1.68 +- 0.02 nm. Comparisons between the native polymer deposited on graphite and the composite structure confirmed that the presence of carbon nanotubes in rrP3HT produces a material with a high degree of order at the mol. level. This high level of order and close coupling of the two components of the composite are prerequisites for its use as the active layer of an org. photovoltaic.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:193442 FIELD Abstract:A nanotube device is configured as an electronic sensor for a target DNA sequence. A film of nanotubes is deposited over electrodes on a substrate. A soln. of single-strand DNA is prepd. so as to be complementary to a target DNA sequence. The DNA soln. is deposited over the electrodes, dried, and removed from the substrate except in a region between the electrodes. The resulting structure includes strands of the desired DNA sequence in direct contact with nanotubes between opposing electrodes, to form a sensor that is elec. responsive to the presence of target DNA strands. Alternative assay embodiments are described which employ linker groups to attach ssDNA probes to the nanotube sensor device. A carbon nanotube network field effect transistor device functionalized with ssDNA via a pyrene butanoic acid succinimidyl ester linker was used to detect single base mismatch DNA.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:128060 FIELD Abstract:Self-assembly of DNA-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is studied and at. force microscopy images show that highly branched structures are formed from the DNA functionalized SWNTs. The formation of branched structures can be explained by hybridization of DNA attached to the ends and sides of SWNTs via DNA complementary sequence-specific pairing interactions. Statistical anal. shows that the degree of interconnection of self-assembled SWNTs via DNA hybridization is seven times greater than that of single strand DNA functionalized SWNTs, which are limited to non-complementary interactions.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:88281 FIELD Abstract:We have investigated a selective attachment of functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on templates. Our efforts have been concd. on both functionalization of carbon nanotubes and their binding onto templates such as Si-wafer and gold. The alignment of SWNTs was performed by modifying the SWNTs with carboxylic acid, carboxylic chloride and alkyl thiol groups. Functionalized SWNTs were selectively immobilized through the formation of amide bonds using a coupling reagent onto prepatterned nanostructures by a self-assembly method. The characterization of chem. attached carbon nanotubes has been investigated using various surface characterization tools like AFM, TEM, SEM, and FT-IR.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:71558 FIELD Abstract:We report discoveries from a series of mol. dynamics simulations that single-walled carbon nanotubes, with different diams., lengths, and chiralities, can coaxially self-assemble into multiwalled carbon nanotubes in water via spontaneous insertion of smaller tubes into larger ones. The assembly process is tube-size-dependent, and the driving force is primarily the intertube van der Waals interactions. The simulations also suggest that a multiwalled carbon nanotube may be sepd. into single-walled carbon nanotubes under appropriate solvent conditions. This study suggests possible bottom-up self-assembly routes for the fabrication of novel nanodevices and systems. [on SciFinder (R)] FIELD Author:Zou, Jian; Ji, Baohua; Feng, Xi-Qiao; Gao, Huajian.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:59138 FIELD Abstract:Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-mediated self-assembly of metal (Au and Ag) nanoparticles at the liq./liq. interface in the form of a stable nanocomposite film is reported. The metallic luster results from the electronic coupling of nanoparticles, suggesting the formation of closely packed nanoparticle thin films. The interfacial film could be transferred to mica substrates and carbon-coated transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grids. The transferred films were very stable for a prolonged time. The samples were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, and XPS. SEM and TEM results show that the films formed at the liq./liq. interface are indeed composite materials consisting of CNTs and nanoparticles. XPS measurements further indicate the presence of the interaction between nanoparticles and CNTs.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2006:15932 FIELD Abstract:After being treated by mixed acids, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were shortened and had neg. charged groups on the surface. Pos. charged Hb or myoglobin at pH 5.0 was successfully assembled with SWNTs into layer-by-layer films on solid surfaces, designated as {SWNT/protein}n. While only those proteins in the first few bilayers closest to the electrode surface exhibited electroactivity, the {SWNT/protein}n films demonstrated a much higher fraction of electroactive proteins and better controllability in film construction compared with cast films of the proteins and carbon nanotubes. The proteins in the {SWNT/protein}n films retained their near-native structure at medium pH. The stable protein film electrode showed good electrocatalytic properties toward redn. of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, demonstrating the potential application of the {SWNT/protein}n films as a new type of biosensor based on the direct electrochem. of proteins without using mediators.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2005:1344476 FIELD Abstract:We report the appearance of a novel self-assembling of a fraction of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) within a SWCNT-poly(butylene terephthalate) nanocomposite subjected to flow fields upon injection molding processing. By combining x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy techniques, both working on a microfocus fashion, we probe that a fraction of the thinnest SWCNT self-assembles into a rectangular lattice in the sample regions where the shear stress induces the highest levels of nanotube aggregation. Addnl., we demonstrate that a modest amt. in wt. of nanotubes is enough to template the morphol. of crystn. during flow providing a method to obtain a highly desirable fiber-like morphol.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2005:1288291 FIELD Abstract:We present a simple, noncovalent method for anchoring CdSe quantum dots (QDs) onto individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) through a ligand-exchange approach. Trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO)-capped CdSe quantum dots were prepd., and the cap was then exchanged for pyridine (Py). It was found that the pyridine-capped quantum dots assembled much more effectively onto the SWNTs compared to the original TOPO-capped quantum dots. The d. of the coverage of the quantum dots on the nanotubes was controlled through varying the concn. of the quantum dot soln. and the reaction time. Spectroscopic studies indicated that the favorable formation of (Py-QD)-SWNT conjugates resulted from the p-p stacking interaction between the electron-rich SWNTs and the arom. pyridine-capped quantum dots. Furthermore, the photoluminescence quenching of the quantum dots due to their interaction with the nanotubes suggests that the electron transfer from the quantum dots to the nanotubes was enhanced by using the pyridine cap.

FIELD Accession Number:AN 2005:1229827 FIELD Abstract:The growth yield of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) within orderly porous templates was investigated in order to optimize fabrication of arrayed nanotube-ceramic composites. Monodisperse silica spheres were synthesized by hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane in a mixt. of ammonium hydroxide, water, and ethanol, and self-assembled on quartz substrates. Ethanol soln. of cobalt nitrate was used as a precursor for the catalyst. Elemental mapping image of cobalt by use of SEM revealed an even distribution of catalyst in the template. Catalyst decompn. and redn. from Co(NO3)2.6H2O salt to cobalt led to a wt. loss of 79.7%. The SWCNT productivity coeff. decreases as the sphere diam. decreases. The tubes were growing only on the outer surface of the smallest size pores, which, together with the fact that these pores are rather large, indicate that it is not a diffusion-limited. Rather, curvature-limited growth-high quality tubes tend to grow straight and large radius of curvature prohibits that. The specific areas of template pores were 12, 7.5, and 3.8 m2/g for small, medium, and large pore size, resp. The specific area multiplied by the productivity coeff. is almost const. The large surface to vol. ratio of the SWCNTs makes them highly promising as efficient nonlinear optical elements. [on SciFinder (R)] FIELD Author:Chen, J.; Lee, S. W.; Grebel, H.

The adsorption behavior of swCNTs on large-size SAM patterns is similar to the Langmuir isotherm, while that on nanoscale patterns shows a significant deviation which can be explained by the sliding motion of adsorbed nanotubes. The "sliding chamber" experiment confirms that swCNTs can align along the SAM patterns by sliding motion right above the SAM surfaces. This result provides new scientific insights regarding the adsorption kinetics of one-dimensional nanostructures, and, from a practical point of view, it can be an important guideline to design SAM patterns to assemble carbon nanotubes and nanowires into desired device structures.

Here we demonstrate a parallel assembly process that allows one to simultaneously position, shape, and link SWNTs with sub-100-nm resolution. Our method is based on the observation that SWNTs are strongly attracted to COOH-terminated self-assembled monolayers (COOH-SAMs) and that SWNTs with lengths greater than the dimensions of a COOH-SAM feature will align along the boundary between the COOH-SAM feature and a passivating CH3-terminated SAM. By using nanopatterned affinity templates of 16-mercaptohexadecanonic acid, passivated with 1-octadecanethiol, we have formed SWNT dot, ring, arc, letter, and even more sophisticated structured thin films and continuous ropes. Experiment and theory (Monte Carlo simulations) suggest that the COOH-SAMs localize the solvent carrying the nanotubes on the SAM features, and that van der Waals interactions between the tubes and the COOH-rich feature drive the assembly process. A mathematical relationship describing the geometrically weighted interactions between SWNTs and the two different SAMs required to overcome solvent-SWNT interactions and effect assembly is provided.

This is a general and powerful technique for the fabrication of thin carbon nanotube films of arbitrary composition and architecture and allows also an easy preparation of all-SWNT (SWNT/SWNT) multilayers. The multilayers were characterized with vis-near-IR spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and imaging ellipsometry. The charge compensation in multilayers is mainly intrinsic, which shows the electrostatic nature of the self-assembly process. The multilayer growth is linear after the initial layers, and in SWNT/polyelectrolyte films it can be greatly accelerated by increasing the ionic strength in the SWNT solution. However, SWNT/SWNT multilayers are much more inert to the effect of added electrolyte. In SWNT/SWNT multilayers, the adsorption results in the deposition of 1-3 theoretical nanotube monolayers per adsorbed layer, whereas the nominal SWNT layer thickness is 2-3 times higher in SWNT/polyelectrolyte films prepared with added electrolyte. AFM images show that the multilayers contain a random network of nanotube bundles lying on the surface. Flexible polyelectrolytes (e.g., PDADMA, PSS) probably surround the nanotubes and bind them together. On macroscopic scale, the surface roughness of the multilayers depends on the components and increases with the film thickness.
