Separating functionalized single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from functionalized amorphous carbon is challenging, due to their polydispersity and similar physicochemical properties. We describe a single-step, dialytic separation method that takes advantage of the ability of heavily functionalized SWCNTs to bundle in a polar environment while maintaining their solubility. Experiments on funct...

In this paper functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (FMWCNT) were modified using doxycycline, containing reactable nitrogen, which can attach chemically to functionalized MWCNT. The synthesized nano compounds were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. These spectrums proved the existence of nitrogen atoms of amide functional groups. The mor...

Functionalization of carbon nanotube (CNT) was performed, during preparation of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) via cobalt nanocatalysts, to modify the surface properties of CNT support. Common and functionalized CNT supported cobalt nanocatalysts were prepared using impregnation wetness method with cobalt loading of 15 wt.%. The catalysts were characterized by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fou...

A series of amine functionalized ligands, including 2,2'-(benzylazanediyl)bis(N,N'-dimethylacetamide) (BnABDMA), 2,2'-azanediylbis(N,N'-dimethylacetamide) (ABDMA), and 2,2'-(methylazanediyl)bis(N,N'-dimethylacetamide) (MABDMA), are synthesized for the thermodynamic study of their complexation with Nd(3+) ions. Their complexation in solution is investigated using potentiometry, spectrophotometry...

Since their discovery in 1985, fullerenes have been investigated extensively due to their unique physical and chemical properties. In recent years, studies on functionalized fullerenes for various applications in the field of biomedical sciences have seen a significant increase. The ultimate goal is towards employing these functionalized fullerenes in the diagnosis and therapy of human diseases...

1,8-dioxo-decahydroacridines have been synthesized by the three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, aromatic amines (or ammonium acetate), and dimedone in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) under solvent-free conditions. excellent yields, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, and easy work-up procedures are advantages of this green method.

in this work the synthesis of polyaniline/chitosan/functionalized single- walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite is carried out. for this purpose single -walled carbon nanotubes were reacted with thionyl chloride to change the hydroxyl to acyl chloride groups for improving the react ability. in other step, aniline monomers and chitosan were polymerized in the presence of iron (iii) chloride to sy...

metal nanoshells consists of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin noble metal shell, possess unique optical properties, which render nanoshells attractive for use in different technologies. this paper reports a facile method for growth of small gold nanoparticles on the functionalized surface of larger silica nanoparticles. mono-dispersed silica particles and gold nanoparticles were prepared ...

Functionalized energies, such as the Functionalized Cahn-Hilliard, model phase separation in amphiphilic systems, in which interface production is limited by competition for surfactant phase, which wets the interface. This is in contrast to classical phase-separating energies, such as the Cahn-Hilliard, in which interfacial area is energetically penalized. In binary amphiphilic mixtures, interf...

A quantification method to measure endocytosis was designed to assess cellular uptake and specificity of a targeting nanoparticle platform. A simple N -hydroxysuccinimide ester conjugation technique to functionalize 100-nm hollow silica nanoshell particles with fluorescent reporter fluorescein isothiocyanate and folate or polyethylene glycol (PEG) was developed. Functionalized nanoshells were c...
