CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MICROSCALE CARBON FIBER AND CARBON-NANOTUBES GRAFTED FIBER WITH THE AID OF DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYZER
(2012)Effects of surface modification on tensile and interfacial properties of PAN-based carbon fibers have been investigated. Four different types of commercially available PAN-based carbon fibers namely AS4, AS7, IM10 and T650 ... -
CONTROLLED GROWTH AND METROLOGY OF CARBON NANOTUBES ON SUPPORTED Co-Mo CATALYSTS
(2011)Studies related to selectivity assessment and yield upgrade of different types of Carbon Nanotubes have been conducted in order to determine the optimum supported Co-Mo catalysts design to achieve the desired performance. -
INVESTIGATIONS OF CARTILAGE LUBRICITY AND INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CARBON NANOTUBES AND PHOSPHOLIPID BILAYERS
(2012)Because one of the principal functions of articular cartilage in joints is to provide support in diarthrodial joints, transmitting loads with minimum friction and wear, it is likely that understanding the lubrication ... -
Properties of Noble Metal Nanoparticles: Molecular Dynamics and Density Functional Theory Studies
(2010)Supported metal nanoparticles play an important role in heterogeneous catalysis. In recent years, carbon nanotubes, because of their unique properties, have drawn interest as supports. The structural and dynamic properties ... -
Surfactant Aggregate Morphology on Surfaces: Insights from Molecular Simulations
(2010)Surfactants are an important class of molecules used in number of applications at a range of length scales. Oil recovery, mineral recovery, detergency are applications that have been using surfactants for decades, whereas ... -
TARGETING SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES FOR THE TREATMENT OF BREAST CANCER USING PHOTOTHERMAL THERAPY
(2012)To develop a therapeutic system with cancer cell selectivity, the present study evaluated a possible specific and localized tumor treatment. Phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the external face of the cell membrane is ... -
