Hydroxyapatite-Functionalized Graphene: A New Hybrid Nanomaterial

Graphene and Other Nanomaterial-Based Electrochemical Aptasensors

Electrochemical aptasensors, which are based on the specificity of aptamer-target recognition, with electrochemical transduction for analytical purposes have received particular attention due to their high sensitivity and selectivity, simple instrumentation, as well as low production cost. Aptamers are functional nucleic acids with specific and high affinity to their targets, similar to antibod...

Graphene: Carbon Based Nanomaterial for Dentistry

The new revolution in dental materials is due to use of nanomaterials in dentistry. Graphene is one of the carbon nanoallotrope that has the potential to enhance properties of materials used in dentistry. The use of this 2D crystal is dentistry is virtue to its typical properties that provides improved performance, extended functionality in materials. In this paper, a review is done to study 3D...

Gelatin functionalized graphene oxide for mineralization of hydroxyapatite: biomimetic and in vitro evaluation.

We report a facile modification of graphene oxide (GO) by gelatin to mimic charged proteins present in the extracellular matrix during bone formation. The bioinspired surface of GO-gelatin (GO-Gel) composite was used for biomimetic mineralization of hydroxyapatite (HA). A detailed structural and morphological characterization of the mineralized composite was performed. Additionally, MC3T3-E1 ce...

New hybrid nanomaterial derived from immobilization of a molybdenum complex on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes

In this work, we report a new well dispersed molybdenum complex attached through the mediation of aminopropylsilyl groups on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The prepared hybrid nanomaterial was characterized with different physicochemical methods such as Fourier transform infrared and atomic absorption spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-...
