Abstract:
The development of wide spectrum of drug delivery systems is fundamental importance to change the establishment of disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention. The fusion technologies of material science and nanomedicine have emerged as a new alternative and efficient field for transporting and translocating the therapeutic molecules. Biologically active materials can be functionalized with peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and drugs, and also be used as the delivery system to cell and organs. Today nanoscience and pharmaceutical technology approaches to drug design and formulation to enhance the biological behavior and safety profile. Unique higher surface area, surface roughness, altered electron distribution, energetics and biological activity of standardized materials made a feasible role in therapeutics. Rationalized material, drug design and formulation will ensure the good clinical significance of the pharmaceutical product. This article will highlight the distinguish!
ed nanoscale biomaterials categorized by metal, non-metal, carbon, polymer, lipid, virus and miscellaneous nanostructures as nanobiopharmaceutical carrier systems and their medical/biological applications and toxicological issues in the field of biomedical nanotechnology.

Abstract:
The effect of surface characteristics on the hydration behavior of various paraffin-like plates has been investigated. Structure and orientation characteristics of the water molecules in the solvation shells of various nanoscopic paraffin-like plates differing from each other in the intermolecular spacing have been extensively studied using molecular dynamics simulation in isothermal-isobaric ensemble. Single particle density distribution of water molecules around the plate reveals well defined solvation shells around each of the paraffin-like plates studied here. A sharp first peak in the density profile in each of the plates signifies no visible dewetting around the paraffin plate. Instantaneous density of water molecules around the plate also reveals that the plate is sufficiently hydrated and there is no intermittent fluctuation in water density in the first hydration shell leading to short lived dewetted state for any of the model plates within the two nanosecond time s!
pan. This is in contrast to the hydration behavior of the intersolute region, where intersolute dewetting has been observed for some of the model plates. Thus the present results demonstrate that dewetting in the intersolute region of nanoscopic hydrophobic plates does not stem from drying interface of the individual solute. No significant effect of surface topology on the orientational structure of water molecules as revealed through distributions of dipole moment as well as oxygen-hydrogen bond vectors of a water molecule in different solvation shells has been observed.

Abstract:
A fundamental question concerning the CIC Cl-/H+ antiporters is the nature of their proton transport (PT) pathway, We addressed this issue by using a novel computational methodology capable of describing the explicit PT dynamics in the CIC-ec1 protein. The main result is that the Glu(203) residue delivers a proton from the intracellular solution to the core of CIC-ec1 via a rotation of its side chain and subsequent acid dissociation. After reorientation of the Glu(203) side chain, a transient water-mediated PT pathway between Glu(203) and Glu(148) is established that is able to receive and translocate the proton via Grotthuss shuttling after deprotonation of Glu(203). A molecular-dynamics simulation of an explicit hydrated excess proton in this pathway suggests that a negatively charged Glu(148) and the central Cl- ion act together to drive H+ to the extracellular side of the membrane. This finding is consistent with the experimental result that Cl- binding to the central si!
te facilitates the proton movement. A calculation of the PT free-energy barrier for the CIC-ec1 E203V mutant also supports the proposal that a dissociable residue is required at this position for efficient delivery of H+ to the protein interior, in agreement with recent experimental results.

AB The fabrication and gas flow characterization of an ultra-thin
inorganic nanosieve structured by interference lithography and a
bond-micromachining approach are reported. The nanosieve has been
observed to exhibit transition gas flow behaviour around atmospheric
pressure and ambient temperature. The small lip thickness (45 nm) of
the nanopores with respect to their diameter (120 nm) helps in
understanding pure transition flow by minimizing interactions between
the molecule and inner pore wall. Due to the absence of these
collisions, the transition flux is the superimposition of viscous and
molecular fluxes without the need for higher-order slip correction. The
nanosieve shows a flow selectivity of 3.1 between helium and argon at
20 mbar.

Abstract:
Presented in this study are the effects of pretreatment temperature during H-2 plasma on synthesizing the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by using the microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD). A H-2 and CH4 gas mixture with a 9:1 ratio was used as a precursor for the synthesis of MW-NTs on Ni-coated TiN/Si (100) substrates. The structure and composition of Ni catalyst nanoparticles were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) techniques. The present findings showed that denser Ni catalyst nanoparticles and more vertically aligned MWCNTs could be effectively achieved at higher pretreatment temperature during H-2 plasma. The results of Raman spectra and TEM indicate that the morphologies of MWCNTs transform from amorphous carbon to a crystalline graphite structure or finite-sized graphite structure, depending on the pretreatment temperature during H-2 plasma. In addition. TEM results sug!
gest that H-2 plasma pretreatment can effectively reduce the amorphous carbon and carbonaceous particles. A decrease in the number of defects and optimized morphologies therefore is believed to play a significant role in improving the field-emission characteristics observed in the future.

Abstract:
We report on the capillary rise of water in three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic silica pores with 3.5 nm and 5 nm mean radii, respectively (porous Vycor monoliths). We find classical square root of time Lucas-Washburn laws for the imbibition dynamics over the entire capillary rise times of up to 16 h investigated. Provided we assume two preadsorbed strongly bound layers of water molecules resting at the silica walls, which corresponds to a negative velocity slip length of -0.5 nm for water flow in silica nanopores, we can describe the filling process by a retained fluidity and capillarity of water in the pore center. This anticipated partitioning in two dynamic components reflects the structural-thermodynamic partitioning in strongly silica bound water layers and capillary condensed water in the pore center which is documented by sorption isotherm measurements.

Abstract:
We illustrate the application of Bennett's acceptance ratio method (BAR) to problems in which standard methods to compute free energy differences (thermodynamic integration, exponential formula) are not practical. Our starting point is the observation that BAR can often compute the free energy difference between two states without the need for intermediate states usually employed (and necessary) in alchemical free energy simulations. This is demonstrated first for the free energy difference between ethane and methanol in aqueous solution. We then show how BAR can be used to compute directly rather unusual free energy differences, such as the free energy difference resulting from changing the treatment of electrostatic interactions, from switching the force field, or from using an implicit solvent model. Calculations of this kind should prove useful for force field development and the validation of implicit solvent methods. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals. Inc. J Comput Chem 30: 1!

Abstract:
Density functional theory/molecular dynamics simulations were employed to give insights into the mechanism of voltage generation based on a water-filled single-walled boron-nitrogen nanotube (SWBNNT). Our calculations showed that (1) the transport properties of confined water in a SWBNNT are different from those of bulk water in view of configuration, the diffusion coefficient, the dipole orientation, and the density distribution, and (2) a voltage difference of several millivolts would generate between the two ends of a SWBNNT due to interactions between the water dipole chains and charge carriers in the tube. Therefore, this structure of a water-filled SWBNNT can be a promising candidate for a synthetic nanoscale power cell as well as a practical nanopower harvesting device.

Abstract:
Understanding transport phenomena of fluids through nanotubes (NTs) is of great interest in order to enable potential application of NTs as separation devices, encapsulation media for molecule storage and delivery, and sensors. Single-walled metal oxide NTs are interesting materials because they present a well-defined solid-state structure, precisely tunable diameter and length, as well as a hydrophilic and functionalizable interior for tuning transport and adsorption selectivity. Here, we study the transport properties of hydrogen-bonding liquids (water, methanol, and ethanol) through a single-walled aluminosilicate NT to investigate the influence of liquid-surface and liquid-liquid interactions and the effects of competitive transport of different chemical species using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The self-diffusivities (D-s) for all the three species decrease with increasing loading and are comparable to bulk liquid diffusivities at low molecular loadings. We sho!
w that the hydrogen-bond network associated with water makes its diffusion behavior different from methanol and ethanol. Mixtures of water and methanol show segregation in the NT, with water located closer to the tube wall and the alcohol molecules localized near the center of the NT. D, values of water in an analogous aluminogermanate NT are larger than those in the aluminosilicate NT due to a larger pore diameter.

Title:
Renormalization of the phonon spectrum in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes studied by Raman spectroscopy

Abstract:
In situ Raman experiments together with transport measurements have been carried out in single-walled carbon nanotubes as a function of electrochemical top gate voltage (V-g). We have used the green laser (E-L = 2.41 eV), where the semiconducting nanotubes of diameter similar to 1.4 nm are in resonance condition. In semiconducting nanotubes, the G(-)- and G(+)-mode frequencies increase by similar to 10 cm(-1) for hole doping, the frequency shift of the G(-) mode is larger compared to the G(+) mode at the same gate voltage. However, for electron doping the shifts are much smaller: G(-) upshifts by only similar to 2 cm(-1) whereas the G(+) does not shift. The transport measurements are used to quantify the Fermi-energy shift (E-F) as a function of the gate voltage. The electron-hole asymmetry in G- and G+ modes is quantitatively explained using nonadiabatic effects together with lattice relaxation contribution. The electron-phonon coupling matrix elements of transverse-optic (!
G(-)) and longitudinal-optic (G(+)) modes explain why the G- mode is more blueshifted compared to the G(+) mode at the same V-g. The D and 2D bands have different doping dependence compared to the G(+) and G(-) bands. There is a large downshift in the frequency of the 2D band (similar to 18 cm(-1)) and D (similar to 10 cm(-1)) band for electron doping, whereas the 2D band remains constant for the hole doping but D upshifts by similar to 8 cm(-1). The doping dependence of the overtone of the G bands (2G bands) shows behavior similar to the dependence of the G+ and G(-) bands.

Abstract:
The authors have produced carbon nanotube (CNT) films on a large scale in a commercial chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor. The reactor (built by Tystar, Inc) is the first of its kind and is capable of handling up to 50 150 mm wafers simultaneously with industry standard process control. Electron microscopy reveals that the CNT films consist of densely packed and vertically aligned multiwalled CNTs. A variety of catalysts and reaction conditions were systematically tested. Both Fe films and Cr/Ni/Fe film stacks have been found favorable for the growth of aligned CNT films. While electron microscopy provides invaluable information, it is qualitative and unsuitable for process optimization and industrial quality control. A quantitative metrology standard is required for these purposes, but has to date not been explicitly defined. They report on their initial developments toward this metrology standard, considering such factors as film thickness (or CNT length), CNT wall nu!
mber and diameter, amorphous carbon content, and uniformity. Various measurement techniques have been investigated and are discussed. The developed metrology will facilitate quality control and process optimization necessary for industry applications of CNT films.

Abstract:
Density functional theory/molecular dynamics simulations were employed to give insights into the mechanism of voltage generation based on a water-filled single-walled boron-nitrogen nanotube (SWBNNT). Our calculations showed that (1) the transport properties of confined water in a SWBNNT are different from those of bulk water in view of configuration, the diffusion coefficient, the dipole orientation, and the density distribution, and (2) a voltage difference of several millivolts would generate between the two ends of a SWBNNT due to interactions between the water dipole chains and charge carriers in the tube. Therefore, this structure of a water-filled SWBNNT can be a promising candidate for a synthetic nanoscale power cell as well as a practical nanopower harvesting device.
