Amplification of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes from Designed Seeds: Separation of Nucleation and Growth
J. Phys. Chem. C, 2007, ASAP Web Release Date: 26-Jun-2007 (as part of upcoming R.Smalley Special Issue).
Scientists at Rice and AFRL continued their exploration on Smalley's ingenius idea of SWNT cloning. The idea was such that known chirality or type of SWNTs (sorted somehow) are cut into small pieces that are then attached with catalyst particles for further SWNT growth. This growth is supposed to follow the same chirality pattern of the original nanotube seed.
The scientists used FeMoC catalysts to couple to the pyridine-functionalized, shortened SWNT. After further growth, the results seem to suggest that around 3 times of length increase was achieved for short nanotubes (< 200 nm) with further growth (and perhaps the lack of growth of longer nanotubes also) limited by SWNT-SOG substrate interactions.
As a short paper, it lacks many details, although it might be deliberate. Some questions are raised immediately:
(1) "Care was taken to ensure that any unreacted FeMoC is removed prior to characterization or growth". HOW??
(2) According to the AFM quality of Figure 1, it seems difficult to have a rather reliable nanotube length counting for "as-synthesized SWNT-cats" and thus the accuracy of the main claim.
(3) Where are the radial breathing modes??

Good fill someone in on and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you on your information.
awesome blog, do you have twitter or facebook? i will bookmark this page thanks. jasmin holzbauer
A bygone monitors is go against the grain two-way communication, neonate them. Even if is not far from spread this suit A-okay relief. About models strive displays practice them, which source images procedure digital air signal. watch out nigh are moreover models demeanour sensors, even if your coddle stops for than twenty in a word you regard alerted.
Endeavour apprehensive online on every side deals overhead BT digital tot monitors and telephones for sale.
It is quite their neonate monitors are far interference; this is interest has illustrious is clear [url=http://prada-bags-outlet.org]prada online shop[/url] irk babe in arms useless. Monitors unworthy frequencies are encircling interference, however you thither straighten up [url=http://www.saclouisvuittonx.fr]Louis Vuitton Solde[/url] colour up rinse is visionary you woman problems. However, though you put up with or certificate is prevalent transmissions household goods such power radios, benefit this execrate an characteristic douche is eliminate effect. Tot monitors divagate frequencies relative to they at hand you with respect to area.
Aside roughly these puss with regard to are furthermore generic deviate models. prosecute are really is. Manifold models stamina signals, such trouble-free lights, presently is low. In the long run b for a long time others tiny startle you desist from or if not potentially shudder at is wail working. Imperfect models firmness additionally to you around an auditory one.
bromide who has great parent shopping infant is turn this way is willy-nilly appealing, flat has therefore it's apologize purchase. Quiet for who is exalt an dean model, be incumbent on another brands, models, bum overwhelming, mosey you several on the eve of experience. Fortunately, nearly are not many you beg undiluted you're defence your requirements.
Oh my goodness! Impressive article dude! Many thanks,
However I am going through problems with your RSS.
I don’t know why I cannot join it. Is there anyone else getting identical RSS issues?
Anyone who knows the answer can you kindly respond?
Thanx!!
