According to one embodiment, a system for detecting and identifying gases includes a piezoresistive microcantilever transducer, wherein dissipation of heat from the piezoresistive microcantilever into one or more gases is measured by changes in an electrical resistance of the piezoresistor, a vibrating microcantilever transducer, wherein shifts are measured in resonant frequency of the vibrating microcantilever due to viscous damping thereof by the one or more gases, and a subsystem for correlating the measured resistance changes and the resonant frequency shifts to the one or more gases. In another embodiment, a method for detecting and identifying one or more gases includes determining dissipation of heat from a microcantilever into one or more gases, and determining shifts in resonant frequency of the microcantilever due to viscous damping thereof by the one or more gases. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are also described according to more embodiments.

摘要:
Membranes for filtration by size exclusion are formed from open-ended nanotubes embedded in a polymeric matrix. The matrix forms a layer whose thickness is substantially less than the average length of the nanotubes, allowing the nanotubes to be randomly oriented throughout the matrix while providing channels extending through the layer for the selective passage of molecular species or particles based on size.

摘要:
A polymer membrane is formed around nanotubes by applying either droplets or a thin film of a suspension of the nanotubes over a layer of a solution of the polymer, the suspending medium for the nanotubes and the solvent(s) for the polymer selected such that the suspending agent will evaporate while it is migrating into and dispersing in the solvent. When the polymer is then permitted to coagulate around the nanotubes, the coagulated polymer will fix the orientations of the nanotubes and a high proportion of the nanotubes will protrude from both sides of the resulting membrane to provide through-passages through the membrane.
