Herein, we present a simple and robust one-step method for creating stable, water-soluble QD and QD-biomolecule conjugates. We demonstrate the successful implementation of this strategy by using mercaptopropyl acid and DNA molecules as model systems, but expect this could also be extended to other types of biomolecules.","PeriodicalId":6390,"journal":{"name":"2010 3rd International Nanoelectronics Conference (INEC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"332-333"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88640717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ECAPed Cu-Ag exhibited ultrafine structure with the shape and distribution of Ag phase dependent on the processing routes. In route A, the initial lamellae of Ag phase were elongated along the shear direction and developed into filaments whereas the initial lamellae became finer by fragmentation with no pronounced change of the shape in route Bc. The hardness of ECAPed Cu-Ag is greater than that of ECAPed Cu. The higher hardness in Cu-Ag is ascribed to the more effective matrix strengthening due to the dislocation storage at the interface and the precipitation hardening. The hardness of ECAPed Cu-Ag was lower than the drawn Cu-Ag at the same deformation strain because of the less effective refinement and elongation of the two-phase filamentary microstructure. The application of ECAP in Cu-Ag was found to be effective in the modification of structure, shape and distribution of phases in composite and the increase of the strength.","PeriodicalId":6390,"journal":{"name":"2010 3rd International Nanoelectronics Conference (INEC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"1291-1292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73477650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
