Conformational Interaction

ABSTRACTThe understanding of the conformational interaction between conjugated polymers and carbon nanotubes in solution is essential to develop the applications of carbon nanotubes, particularly conjugated polymer-carbon nanotube hybrid materials. The visible absorption spectroscopic study shows that curved carbon nanotube surfaces can induce the planarization of individual conjugated polymers such as poly(p-phenyleneethynylene)s and poly(3-alkylthiophene)s in solution. The impact of nanotube surface quality on the interaction between carbon nanotubes and conjugated polymers is investigated.

The Creation

This article attempts to give a critical review of Javier Herrero Ruiz’s Understanding Tropes. At a Crossroads between Pragmatics and Cognition. It evaluates the book in view of the available literature dealing with the trend towards empiricism adopted by Cognitive Linguistics. It also focuses on the main hypothesis put forward, i.e., tropes such as irony, paradox, oxymoron, overstatement, understatement, euphemism, and dysphemism can be considered idealised cognitive models, and discusses the main contributions and arguments of the book, especially his idea that these idealised cognitive models are all constructed around the creation of contrast. A few concerns are also raised, mainly regarding corpus methodology. While these may have a negative impact on the reader, they are not severe enough to discredit the rigour with which the book was conceived.

Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been implemented in the creation of many micro- and nano-devices due to their physical properties such as large volume-to-surface area as well as their high thermal and electrical conductivity. The paper describes a novel dielectrophoretic step-wise deposition of CNTs (that alternates deposition of CNTs and drying steps) between the interdigitated fingers of carbon electrodes. Multiphysics simulation illustrates the physics of CNT alignment along the electrical field lines that forms a basis for dielectrophoretic deposition of CNTs. This fabrication methodology resulted in the creation of a proof-of-concept nitrogen gas sensor.

There is enormous interest in carbon nanomaterials, due to their exceptional physical properties, from the perspective of science and engineering of materials applied to the electronics industry. Until now, significant progress has been made towards understanding the mechanisms of electrical conductivity of carbon nanotubes and graphene. However, scientists around the world even today continue studying these mechanisms, for exploiting them fully in different electronic applications with a high technological impact. This article discusses the mechanisms of electrical conductivity of both nanomaterials, analyzes the present implications, and projects its importance for future generations of electronic devices. In particular, it is important to note that different mechanisms may be identified when these nanomaterials are used individually, when they are incorporated as fillers in composite materials or hybrid materials, or even when they are doped or functionalized. Finally, other electrical variables with important role in electrical conductivity of these materials are also explored.
