Nanoelectromechanical (NEM) switches are similar to conventional semiconductor switches
in that they can be used as relays, transistors, logic devices and sensors. However, the …

Carbon nanotube (CNT) devices and electronics are achieving maturity and directly
competing or surpassing devices that use conventional materials. CNTs have demonstrated …

Nanomaterials have already been explored their potential for interlaminar toughening and
crack-monitoring capabilities within the field of composite materials. However, efficient …

We characterize the response of isolated single-wall (SWNT) and multiwall (MWNT) carbon
nanotubes and nanotube bundles to static electric fields using first-principles calculations …

The alignment of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in an epoxy monomer liquid
medium by the application of a DC electric field has been investigated, taking into account …

The synthesis, sorting and organization of carbon nanotubes are major challengestoward
future applications. This chapter reviews recent advances in these topics, addressing both …

The dynamics of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) alignment inside viscous media using
electric fields is investigated. Electrical current measurements were performed in situ during …

Low-frequency dielectric responses of carbon nanotubes are important for their
manipulation, separation, and electronic applications. Here we report the first experimental …

This paper provides an overview on separation of micron and submicron sized biological
(cells, yeast, virus, bacteria, etc.) and nonbiological particles (latex, polystyrene, CNTs …

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) exhibit anisotropic mechanical, thermal, and optical
properties. The director orientation within an LCE can be spatially localized into voxels …
