etween Ru(bi-pyridine)3 2+ and methyl viologen 2+ flux is found to be as high as<br />

23 with -130mV bias applied to the membrane with tethered anionic dye<br />

molecule. Changes in the flux and selectivity support a model where charged<br />

tethered molecules at the tips are drawn into the CNT core at positive bias<br />

hindering/gating flux across the membrane. Applications towards controlled<br />

transdermal drug delivery are discussed. In general, the transport mechanisms<br />

through CNT membrane are a) ionic diffusion is near bulk expectation with no<br />

enhancement from CNT b) gas flow is enhanced by ~1-2 order of magnitude due<br />

to specular reflection off of flat graphitic surface c) and pressure driven flux of a<br />

variety of solvents (H2O, hexane, decane ethanol, methanol) are 4-5 ORDERS<br />

OF MAGNITUDE FASTER than conventional Newtonian flow due to atomically<br />

flat graphite planes inducing nearly ideal slip conditions.
