This paper investigated the effect of the amine-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the thermomechanical properties of CNT/epoxy nanocomposites. Mechanical stirring and ultra-sonication were utilized to uniformly disperse CNTs into the epoxy matrix. Non-functionalized and amine-functionalized CNTs with different weight percentages (wt. %) were mixed into the epoxy resin. Using standard te...

Among the common approaches for global glycopeptide enrichment, hydrazide chemistry is well recognized. However, conventional hydrazide-functionalized products are composed of a single layer of hydrazide functional groups. Due to the limited specific surface area of such a structure, the loading amount of hydrazide groups immobilized on these materials is restricted. Therefore, these materials ...

Detection and imaging of single cancer cells is critical for cancer diagnosis and understanding of cellular dynamics. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) provides a potential tool for the study of cancer cell dynamics, but faces the challenge that most cancer cells lack sufficient endogenous contrast. Here, a type of colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are physically fabricated and are precisely funct...

A single nickel or cobalt atom anchored pyridyl-functionalized conjugated microporous polymer promoted the photogenerated electron transfer, offering efficient hydrogen evolution performance under visible-light irradiation.

Internal functionalization of single-walled nanotubes is an attractive, yet difficult challenge in nanotube materials chemistry. Here we report single-walled metal oxide nanotubes with covalently bonded primary amine moieties on their inner wall, synthesized through a one-step approach. Conclusive molecular-level structural information on the amine-functionalized nanotubes is obtained through m...

carbon nanotubes have unique properties like high stability, high surface to mass ratio and so on which make them suitable for medicinal purpose applications. treatment of cancer by organoplatinum agents like cisplatin has become unresponsive in most cases due to low distribution of drug in biological fluids, inability of drug to cross cellular membranes and low stability in biological environm...

the poly(ethyleneimine)-functionalized silica has been developed successfully as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption removal of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater. the influences of ph, contact time and initial concentration of cu(ii) ions on the adsorption capacity and the effect of adsorbent dosage on the removal efficiency of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater were inve...

Nanodiamonds are rapidly emerging as promising carriers for next-generation therapeutics and drug delivery. However, developing future nanoscale devices and arrays that harness these nanoparticles will require unrealized spatial control. Furthermore, single-cell in vitro transfection methods lack an instrument that simultaneously offers the advantages of having nanoscale dimensions and control ...

in this work we synthesized nano hydroxyapatite (hap)  by sol-gel method, then we functionalized hydroxyapatite nanoparticle by use of  3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (aptms) , to improve the loading and control release of sulfasalazine drug bonded to aptms. the drug release patterns from sulfasalazine loaded hap nanoparticles at ph value 8 for 6h, sulfasalazine loaded functionalized hap nanopa...
