AbstractProposal Title: CAREER: Understanding and Exploiting the Surface Chemistry of Carbon Nanotubes: Optical Methods and Chemical Pathways for Manipulation, Control and Assembly at the NanoscaleProposal Number: CTS-0449147Principal Investigator: Michael S. StranoInstitution: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Analysis (rationale for decision):This project addresses key technical challenges in the manipulation and control of nanostructures to enable new applications. Innovative scalable, chemical pathways will be developed for separating and sorting single walled carbon nanotubes by their electronic structure using selective, 4-hydroxybenzene diazonium chemistry. Electrophoresis will be used to isolate homogeneous samples for electron transport measurements and to explore applications such as novel ballistic conducting solids and 1-D thin film semiconductors. The alignment, placement and contacting of nanoscale objects in a scalable and controlled manner is of central importance in nanotechnology. This project will use a new optical technique developed to study electrophoretic and dielectrophoretic manipulation of carbon nanotubes as a means of controlling placement and orientation. These efforts will afford researchers new tools for nano-assembly and novel materials for electronic and optical applications. Interactive software modules on 1-D chemistry and physics will be developed and shared both on campus and with a university having a large minority population. An outreach program has been designed and initiated also: Nanotechnology-based Outreach for local Area High Schools (NOAH). By partnering with the College of Education at UIUC and several local area schools, the initiative couples newly developing, portable instrumentation with nanotechnology laboratory-based modules to bring enhanced science education to classrooms that are otherwise disadvantaged.

摘要提案题目：理解和开发碳纳米管的表面化学：纳米级操纵、控制和组装的光学方法和化学途径提案号：cts -0449147首席研究员：Michael S. StranoInstitution：伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校分析（决策依据）：该项目解决了纳米结构操纵和控制中的关键技术挑战，以实现新的应用。创新的可扩展的化学途径将被开发出来，利用选择性的4-羟基重氮化学，通过它们的电子结构分离和分选单壁碳纳米管。电泳将用于分离均质样品，用于电子传输测量，并探索诸如新型弹道导电固体和一维薄膜半导体等应用。在纳米技术中，以可扩展和可控的方式排列、放置和接触纳米尺度物体是至关重要的。该项目将使用一种新的光学技术来研究碳纳米管的电泳和介电泳操作，作为控制放置和方向的手段。这些努力将为研究人员提供纳米组装的新工具和用于电子和光学应用的新材料。将开发一维化学和物理的交互软件模块，并在校园和拥有大量少数民族人口的大学之间共享。还设计并启动了一项外展计划：基于纳米技术的本地高中外展（NOAH）。通过与UIUC教育学院和几所当地学校的合作，该计划将新开发的便携式仪器与纳米技术实验室模块结合起来，为那些处于不利地位的教室带来更好的科学教育。
