Engineering Low-aspect Ratio Carbon Nanostructures: Nanocups, Nanorings, and Nanocontainers
PI: Y.-J. Jung and L. Menon
Institution: Northeastern University
We have demonstrated hollow carbon nanostructures having extremely low L/D aspect ratios with unique nanoscale cup and ring geometries. Using these new graphitic architectures as templates, we have successfully inserted various metals inside their pores to create multi-component nanostructures and nanoscale container systems. Applications include nano-medicine (containers for nanogram quantities of materials, in drug delivery), nano-metrology (nanoscale unit measures) and electronic interconnects.
