Tailoring plasmonic substrates for SERS
SERS is a useful spectroscopic technique that was discovered 30 years ago, and has recently seen a renaissance in research. Sphere segment void (SSV) substrates have been developed as reproducible, stable SERS substrates by electrodeposition of a metal through a colloidal template.<br/>The effect …

On Geopolitically Tailoring Missile Defense
<p>One of the United States' most challenging security threats of the 21st century is a possible ballistic missile attack. Whether it is armed conventionally or with a weapon of mass destruction, a ballistic missile attack on the U.S. would have a horrific outcome. To counter this, threat the U.S. …

Techniques for tailoring sonar transducer responses
This work is concerned with the design of sonar transducers operating in the frequency range 100 kHz to 1 MHz. The transducer frequency responses are predicted using a one-dimensional transmission line analysis. Differences between predicted and measured results are shown to be caused by intermodal …

Tailoring Intermolecular Interactions for High-Performance Nanocomposites
Acid oxidation of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) introduced carboxylic acid sites onto the MWCNT surface, which permitted further functionalization. Derivatization of carboxylic acid sites yielded amide-amine and amide-urea functionalized MWCNTs from oxidized precursors. Conventional MWCNT …
