Highlights►Mg Al Layered Double Hydroxide methotrexate forms the drug delivery formulation ► The particle size of the formulation is variable depending on the synthesis route ►Methotrexate loading in the formulation vary depending on the synthesis routes ► The formulations show controlled release upto a period of 170 hrs (>7 days). | | | 10. | Doping-free fabrication of n-type random network single-walled carbon nanotube field effect transistor with Yttrium contacts Original Research Article Physica E: Low-dimensional Systems and Nanostructures, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 6 April 2011 Leihua Huang, Eng Fong Chor, Yihong Wu
Highlights► The n-type conduction of rn-SWCNT FET was realized by Yttrium contact and stable in air for 7 day. ► By treating rn-SWCNT with 2,4,6-TPPT, high uniploar n-type conduction can be achieved. ► The rn-SWCNT FET exhibit high performance: Ion/Ioff ~105 and the highest mobility ~25 cm2v-1s-1. ► Compared with i-SWCNT FETs, the rn-SWCNT FET exhibits higher reproducibility. | | | 13. | Effect of interfacial oxidation occurring during the duplex process combining surface nanocrystallisation and co-rolling Original Research Article Surface and Coatings Technology, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 6 April 2011 L. Waltz, D. Retraint, A. Roos, C. Garnier, P. Olier
Research highlights►We analyse the effect of heat treatment on interfaces of co-rolled SMATed plates. ►During the high-temperature co-rolling stage, interface oxidation occurs. ►Co-rolling at 550 °C leads to discontinuous oxide clusters with varying thicknesses. ►At 650 °C a continuous oxide layer with uniform thickness is formed. ►At 550 °C, this duplex process leads to a laminate with high mechanical strength. | | | 19. | Characterization of gold nanoparticle pentacene memory device with polymer dielectric layer Original Research Article Thin Solid Films, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 6 April 2011 Hyung-Jun Kim, Sung Mok Jung, Yo-Han Kim, Bong-Jin Kim, Sanghyub Ha, Yong-Sang Kim, Tae-Sik Yoon, Hyun Ho Lee | | | 24. | Green synthesis of catalytic and ferromagnetic gold nanoparticles Original Research Article Chemical Physics Letters, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 5 April 2011 Sudip Mohapatra, Ramachandran Krishna Kumar, Tapas Kumar Maji
