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...

Over the last decade, engineered nanomaterials (NMs) brought a revolutionary development in many sectors of human life including electronics, paints, textiles, food, agriculture, and health care. However, the exponential growth in the number of NMs applications resulted in uncertainties regarding their environmental impacts. Currently, the common approach for assessing the toxicity of NMs such ...

In this study, multilayer perception neural network (MLPNN) was employed to predict thermal conductivity of PVP electrospun nanocomposite fibers with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Nickel Zinc ferrites [(Ni0.6Zn0.4) Fe2O4]. This is the second attempt on the application of MLPNN with prey predator algorithm for the prediction of thermal conductivity of PVP electrospun nanocomposite fi...

In this work we reported the carbon dioxide adsorption (CO2) in six different nanostructures in order to investigate the capturing capacity of the materials at nanoscale. Here we have considered the three different nanotubes including zinc oxide nanotube (ZnONT), silicon carbide nanotube (SiCNT) and single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT). Three different chiralities such as zigzag (9,0), armchai...
