The fields of theoretical and computational chemistry have come a long way since their
inception in the mid-20th century. Fifty years ago, only rudimentary approximations for very …

The unidirectional growth of materials to form nanowires or nanotubes has attracted
enormous interest in recent years. Within the different classes of tubes made of organic or …

In this Account we highlight the experimental evidence in favor of our view that carbon
nanotubes should be considered as a new macromolecular form of carbon with unique …

Thermoelectric energy conversion is very effective in capturing low-grade waste heat to
supply electricity particularly to small devices such as sensors, wireless communication …

An axisymmetric flow‐focusing microfluidic device (AFFD) is described. The AFFD (see
Figure, top) produces micrometer‐sized (50–300 μm) polymer‐coated droplets (see Figure …

A polyurethane/multi-walled carbon nanotube elastomer composite was synthesized. The
microstructure of the composite was examined by field-emission scanning electron …

Chemically functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes were incorporated into a polymer
matrix by in situ polymerization, to improve the transfer of mechanical load through a …

Substantial separation of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) according to type (metallic
versus semiconducting) has been achieved for HiPco and laser-ablated SWNTs. We …

For many years, the inorganic content in nanocomposites has seldom exceeded 10 vol%.
Novel fabrication methods have been employed to incorporate high inorganic loading within …

We report a simple method that uses proteins to solubilize single-walled carbon nanotubes
(SWNTs) in water. Characterization by a variety of complementary techniques including UV …
