the electrochemical oxidation and determination of tryptophan (trp) and glutathione (gsh) in the presence of catechol as a homogeneous redox in the aqueous medium were investigated at the surface of a carbon paste electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotube (mwcnt-cpe) using cyclic voltammetry (cv), double step potential chronoamperometry and differential pulse voltammetry (dpv) techni...

the effects of electronic properties of inner and outer surfaces of carbon nano tubes (cnts) on the deactivation of cobalt fischer-tropsch (ft) catalysts were studied. the comparative characterization of the fresh and used catalysts by tem, xrd, tpr, bet and h2 chemisorption showed that cobalt re-oxidation, cobalt-support interactions and sintering are the main sources of catalyst deactivation....

In this work, the first in the world of science, the focus was on the best angle of connection between carbon nanotubes and the most widely used group of antibiotics. While having the highest stability, in terms of energy, we have the best angle of to connect to the in vivo delivery of intraoperative antibiotic binding with carbon nanotubes not lost. It will never work in the world of science. ...

isolated carbon nanotubes (cnts), cnt films and cnt-polymer nanocomposites are a new generation of materials with outstanding mechanical, thermal, electrical and electromagnetic properties. the main objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive review on the investigations performed in the field of characterizing electrical and electromagnetic properties of isolated cnts and cnt-reinf...

multifunctional nanomaterials showed graet advantages in drug delivery. folic acid (fa) binding protein, a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol anchored cell surface receptor for folate, is overexpressed in several human tumors, whereas it is highly restricted in normal tissues. therefore, in this study, fa, polyethylene glycol (peg), and fe3o4 nanoparticles multifunctionalized short multiwall carbon...

Recently the Lifshitz theory of dispersion forces was extended for the case of an atom (molecule) interacting with a plane surface of a uniaxial crystal or with a long solid cylinder or cylindrical shell made of isotropic material or uniaxial crystal. The obtained results are applicable to nanosystems. In particular, we investigate the Casimir-Polder interaction between hydrogen atoms (molecule...

objective(s): carbon nanotubes have unique mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, with potential different applications in nanomedicine, electronics, and other industries. these new applications of carbon nanotubes in different industries lead to the increased exposure risk of nanomaterials to human. up to now, all aspects of carbon nanotubes toxicity are not completely clear following...

Strong quantum confinement and low dielectric screening impart single-walled carbon nanotubes with exciton-binding energies substantially exceeding kBT at room temperature. Despite these large binding energies, reported photoluminescence quantum yields are typically low and some studies suggest that photoexcitation of carbon nanotube excitonic transitions can produce free charge carriers. Here ...

introduction: carbon nanotubes (cnts) have shown enormous potential in neuroscience. nerve growth factor (ngf)-cnts complex promotes the neuronal growth, however, the underlying mechanism(s) have remained elusive. based on the interplay between ngf and the endocannabinoid system, involvement of the neuroprotective endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-ag), was investigated in the mechanis...
