Gold Nanowires

NanopartzTM has developed a brand new nanomaterial – Gold Nanowires.   These nanowires are 30 nm in axial diameter, and range from 4.5 µm to 6 µm in length.  In the bare form, these nanowires are immersed in DI water with excess CTAB capping agent to minimize aggregation.  These nanowires can also be covalently conjugated to our proprietary polymers terminated with amine, biotin, carboxyl, methyl, or neutravidin.  In these forms, they are delivered in DI water and purified of CTAB.  

 

Features

  • Highly stable, minimal to no aggregation

  • Conjugation choices to amine, biotin, carboxyl, methyl or neutravidin

  • Available in aspect ratios from 150 to 200

Benefits

  • Long wire lengths for nanoelectronics, nanoantennas

  • Applications in tribological additives

  • Light conduction for digital computers

  • Thermal conduction

Uses

 

Nanowires still belong to the experimental world of laboratories. However, they may complement or replace carbon nanotubes in some applications. Some early experiments have shown how they can be used to build the next generation of computing devices.

It's possible that semiconductor nanowire crossings will be important to the future of digital computing. Though there are other uses for nanowires beyond these, the only ones that actually take advantage of physics in the nanometer regime are electronic.

Nanowires are being studied for use as photon ballistic waveguides as interconnects in quantum dot/quantum effect well photon logic arrays. Photons travel inside the tube, electrons travel on the outside shell.

When two nanowires acting as photon waveguides cross each other the juncture acts as a quantum dot.

Conducting nanowires offer the possibility of connecting molecular-scale entities in a molecular computer. Dispersions of conducing nanowires in different polymers are being investigated for use as transparent electrodes for flexible flat-screen displays.

Due to their high Young's moduli, their use in mechanically enhancing composites is being investigated. Because nanowires appear in bundles, they may be used as tribological additives to improve friction characteristics and reliability of electronic transducers and actuators.

Because of their high aspect ratio, nanowires are also uniquely suited to dielectrophoretic manipulation.
