Strong Electrical Conductivity 5nm Diameter Gold Nanowires
Spec: Diameter: <5nm, Length: >1um
Application for gold nanowires:
1. Gold nanowires can improve conductivity
and systolic of heart stents.. Put gold nanowires into alginate scaffolds, could
let the heart cells on the growth in the stent can react to electrical
stimulus. Results show that compared with the gold stents, grow in groups on
the stent is thicker, and better.
2. Gold nanowires can be used in the manufacture of any associated with
electrical stimulation of organization, including the brain and spinal cord.
Choose gold as wire because of its electrical conductivity is strong, easy to
weave, and is also a kind of human body can tolerate materials; And gold fiber
can be very long, enough through the entire material base to support cells,
also can be used as conductive gate.
3. Gold nanowires patch can improve the performance of cardiac electrical
conductivity, is expected to repair the heart disease caused by the myocardial
tissue necrosis. Described in the paper, gold wire is added in the heart tissue
engineering can enhance the electrical conductivity, is improvement of existing
nano patches.
4. This kind of gold nanowires under 5 nm
in diameter, length is greater than 1 micron, almost impossible to see with the
naked eye. After training, be full of gold thread on the patch of myocardial
cells became thicker, arrangement and better organized. With current stimulate
cell, can produce an obvious peak voltage and current between adjacent beams of
myocardial cell activity has improved significantly. In contrast, there is no
gold nanowires patch can only produce a weak current, make a bunch of cell.
