An efficient platform based on cupper complex-multiwalled carbon nanotube nanocomposite modified electrode for the determination of uric acid
A new voltammetric sensor for determination of uric acid (UA) by Cuppercomplex- multiwalled carbon nanotube (Cu-complex-CNT) nanocomposite modifiedcarbon paste electrode (CPE) is reported. The electrocatalytic behavior of theCu-complex-CNT nanocomposite modified CPE was studied in pH 2.0 phosphatebuffer solution by chronoamperometry (CA) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) in th...
متن کاملSupramolecular chemistry on water-soluble carbon nanotubes for drug loading and delivery.
We show that large surface areas exist for supramolecular chemistry on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) prefunctionalized noncovalently or covalently by common surfactant or acid-oxidation routes. Water-soluble SWNTs with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) functionalization via these routes allow for surprisingly high degrees of pi-stacking of aromatic molecules, including a cancer drug (doxorub...
متن کاملDevelopment and evaluation of pH-responsive single-walled carbon nanotube-doxorubicin complexes in cancer cells
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been identified as an efficient drug carrier. Here a controlled drug-delivery system based on SWNTs coated with doxorubicin (DOX) through hydrazone bonds was developed, because the hydrazone bond is more sensitive to tumor microenvironments than other covalent linkers. The SWNTs were firstly stabilized with polyethylene glycol (H(2)N-PEG-NH(2)). Hydra...

متن کاملIonic Rectification through the Formation of Complexes or Precipitation in Carbon Nanotube Membranes
Carbon nanotube membranes were fabricated using arrays of millimeter-long multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with an inner diameter of about 8 nm through a low-cost castpolishing method. The fabricated carbon nanotube membranes demonstrated a unique ionic rectification phenomenon through two fundamentally different mechanisms: a) the formation ofmetal ion complexes and b) the precipitation ...
