We conducted a randomized controlled trial to determine whether intensive multi-agent adjuvant chemotherapy improves the chances of relapse-free survival in patients with nonmetastatic high-grade osteosarcoma extremity, as compared concurrent controls. After undergoing definitive surgery, 36 were randomly assigned or observation without treatment. At two years actuarial was 17 percent control group, similar that found In studies before 1970, and 66 adjuvant-chemotherapy group (P<0.001)....

Graphene flakes with controlled thicknesses are isolated in solution using density gradient ultracentrifugation. These stable graphene dispersions produced the bile salt sodium cholate, which promotes graphite exfoliation and results graphene−surfactant complexes having buoyant densities that vary thickness. The sorted characterized atomic force microscopy Raman spectroscopy. differentiation offer superior performance transparent conductors than those conventional sedimentation-based...

Thin film transistors (TFTs) are now poised to revolutionize the display, sensor, and flexible electronics markets. However, there is a limited choice of channel materials compatible with low-temperature processing. This has inhibited fabrication high electrical performance TFTs. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have very mobilities can be solution-processed, making thin CNT-based TFTs natural direction for exploration. The two main challenges facing CNT-TFTs difficulty placing aligning...

Printing electronic components on plastic foils with functional liquid inks is an attractive approach for achieving flexible and low-cost circuitry applications such as bendable displays large-area sensors. The challenges printed electronics, however, include characteristically slow switching frequencies associated high supply voltages, which together impede widespread application. Combining printable high-capacitance dielectrics high-mobility semiconductors could potentially solve these...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are promising materials for transparent conduction as a result of their exceptional electrical, optical, mechanical, and chemical properties. However, since current synthetic methods yield polydisperse mixtures SWNTs, the performance SWNT conductive films has previously been hindered by semiconducting species. Here, we describe conductors produced using predominantly metallic SWNTs. Compared with unsorted material, enriched in SWNTs can enhance...

Atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted considerable interest because of their unique combination properties, including photoluminescence, high lubricity, flexibility, and catalytic activity. These properties suggest future uses for TMDs in medical applications such as orthodontics, endoscopy, optogenetics. However, few studies thus far investigated the biocompatibility mechanically exfoliated chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown pristine two-dimensional TMDs....

With the recent burst of activity surrounding solution-phase production graphene, comparatively little progress has been made toward generation graphene dispersions with tailored thickness, lateral area, and shape. The polydispersity dispersions, however, can lead to unpredictable or nonideal behavior once they are incorporated into devices since properties vary as a function its structural parameters. In this brief perspective, we overview problem polydispersity, methods under development...

Excitement surrounding the attractive physical and chemical characteristics of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been tempered by concerns regarding their potential health risks. Here we consider lung toxicity nanoscale dispersed SWCNTs (mean diameter ∼1 nm). Because dispersion increases aspect ratio relative to as-produced aggregates, directly test prevailing hypothesis that associated with compared other structures is attributable large individual particles. Thirty days after...

We describe how iterative, orthogonal density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU) separations can be used to produce nearly single-chirality (6,5) SWNTs. SWNT network transistors made from these highly pure, ≥98% semiconducting SWNTs simultaneously exhibit high on/off ratios, mobilities, and on-state conductances, suggesting their future application in integrated circuits near-infrared optoelectronic light emitters photodetectors.

The ability to disperse pristine graphene at high concentrations in aqueous solutions is an enabling step for large-scale processing and emerging biomedical applications. Herein we demonstrate that nonionic, biocompatible block copolymers are able produce dispersions with exceeding 0.07 mg mL–1 via sonication centrifugation, resulting optical densities above 4 OD cm–1 the visible near-infrared regions of electromagnetic spectrum. dispersion efficiency using Pluronic Tetronic varies...

Current methods of synthesizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) result in racemic mixtures that have impeded the study left- and right-handed SWNTs. Here we present a method isolating different SWNT enantiomers using density gradient ultracentrifugation. Enantiomer separation is enabled by chiral surfactant sodium cholate, which discriminates between SWNTs thus induces subtle differences their buoyant densities. This sorting strategy can be employed for simultaneous enrichment...

Two-dimensional semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) like molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are generating significant excitement due to their unique electronic, chemical, and optical properties. Covalent chemical functionalization represents a critical tool for tuning the properties of TMDCs use in many applications. However, inertness has thus far hindered robust these materials.
