“…The shape of CNTs could allow them to become entangled; alternatively, functionalized nanotubes could react with surfaces with their strength making them strongly adherent. For example, CNT were used to reinforce PDMS dry adhesive pads; 99 the CNT improve the stability of the pads and diffuse concentration of charge at the PDMS surface which leads to surface deformation and loss of conformity. Alternatively, a poly(ethyleneimine), CNT and epoxy resin material was used as an adhesive.…”

Developing new materials for biomedical applications represents a dynamic and fast-growing interdisciplinary field of research. In this study, six emerging areas were identified in nanoscale materials in the context of biomedical applications by leveraging big data from the CAS Content Collection using quantitative analysis based on natural language processing (NLP). These emerging areas in biomaterials include self-healing, bioelectronic, programmable, lipid-based, protein-based, and antibacterial materials. In this perspective, we will examine the use of nanoscale materials in these areas. These uses range from enhancing the physical and electronic properties of materials used to interface with human tissue, to executing complex functions such as programmable drug delivery.

In this study, we present our findings from analyzing data contained in approximately 265,000 journal and patent publications in the field of carbon nanotube (CNT)-related research spanning the last two decades (2003 to 2023). The purpose of this study is to identify and extract prominent trends and establish connections, such as those between materials and applications. Using a natural language processing (NLP)-based analysis, we have identified over 80 emerging concepts across three major categories (applications, materials, and properties) in the field of CNTs, which is presented in a "Trend Landscape" map. While early research efforts appeared to focus on synthesis techniques (including the now wellestablished and dominant technique of chemical vapor deposition (CVD)), in recent years the field has been driven by an increase in interest in CNT composites, especially involving other nanoscale materials such as MXene and metal−organic frameworks (MOFs). High growth applications include the use of CNTs in energy storage and conversion technologies such as fuel cells, next-generation batteries, and nanogenerators, and in sensors including wearable human motion sensors. Investment data suggests commercial interest in development and use of CNTs in a variety of industry types, such as semiconductors, energy, and to a smaller extent the biomedical industry. The intent of this report is to serve as a useful guide to researchers to aid in further exploration of the field of CNT based materials and applications.

Bio-inspired dry adhesive pads using multi-walled carbon nanotube/polydimethylsiloxane composites for efficient wafer transfer robot arms in smart factories

Abstract: The development of dry adhesive pads (DAPs) is essential to prevent wafer detachment from high-speed wafer-transfer robot arms. However, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based DAPs, which are insulating elastomers, generate residual charges inside...
