Carbon Nanotube Based Nanopore and Nanofluidic Devices Towards Sensing Applications

摘要

Background: Carbon nanotube (CNT) nanofluidics have been studied theoretically and experimentally for more than a decade. Due to the unique geometrical, chemical and physical properties of CNTs, it is extremely interesting to understand the mass transport properties of these molecular scale nanochannels. In addition, the carbon nanotube based nanofluidic devices have great potentials for revolutionary applications in biosensing. Here, we review the recent research activities in the field of CNT nanofluidics.
