A novel Schiff base-chitosan-grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes (S-CS-MWCNTs) solid-phase extraction adsorbent was synthesized by covalently grafting a Schiff base-chitosan (S-CS) onto the surfaces of oxidized MWCNTs. The stability of a chemically(S-CS-MWCNTs) especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid which was then used as a recycling and pre-concentration reagent for further uses of (S-C...

a novel and selective method for the fast determination of trace amounts of cu(ii) ions in water samples has been developed. the procedure is based on the selective formation of cu(ii) at optimum ph by elution with organic eluents and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. the method is based on complex formation on the surface of the envi-18 disktm disks modified schiff base-ch...

The multiwalled carbon nanotubes/BaFe12O19-chitosan (MCNTs/BF-CS) Schiff base Ag (I) complex composites were synthesized successfully by a chemical bonding method. The morphology and structures of the composites were characterized with electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. Their conductive properties were measured using a four-probe condu...

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and 1,4benzoquinone (BQ) dispersed in chitosan (CS) matrix were used to construct a xanthine biosensor. Xanthine oxidase (XOx) was immobilized onto BQ-MWCNTs-ZnO–CS composite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using glutaraldehyde as the crosslinking agent. The parameters of the construction process and the experimenta...

Carbon nanotube (CNT)-based drug delivery vehicles might find great potential in cancer therapy via the combination of chemotherapy with photothermal therapy due to the strong optical absorbance of CNTs in the near-infrared region. However, the application of CNTs in cancer therapy was considerably constrained by their lack of solubility in aqueous medium, as well as the cytotoxicity caused by ...

An electrochemical sensor based on AuPtPd trimetallic nanoparticles functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes coupled with chitosan modified glassy electrode (GCE/CS/MWCNTs-AuPtPd) was proposed for the rapid detection of bisphenol A (BPA). were first assembled MWCNTs to obtain MWCNTs-AuPtPd nanocomposite. Then, further dispersed chitosan-modified surface fabricate GCE/CS/MWCNTs-AuPtPd sensor...

In this study, three pyrimethanil grafted chitosan (PML-g-CS) derivatives were obtained. The structures of the conjugates were confirmed by FT-IR, (1)H NMR, and EA. The grafting ratios were measured by HPLC. Antifungal properties of pyrimethanil grafted chitosan (PML-g-CS) derivatives against the plant pathogenic fungi Rhizoctonia solani and Gibberella zeae were investigated at concentrations o...
