The present study was carried out to investigate the potential of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) and carboxylate group functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT-COOH) as alternative adsorbents for the removal of Basic Red 46 (BR 46) from contaminated water by using batch adsorption studies. Effects of some key operating parameters such as pH, ionic strength and contact time on...

A new nanocomposites series of polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide (PPy/rGO) and covalently bonded with aryl 4-carboxybenzene diazonium salt (PPy/rGO-aryl-COOH) were prepared by simple one-step chemical oxidative synthesis. Spin coating technique was used to deposit the as-prepared on BOPET substrate for testing their chemiresistive sensitivity properties towards online detection (NO2) vapors at...

Catechin (Cat) is one of the primary functional components tea, and its accurate detection significant for understanding health benefits tea. In this study, cyclodextrin nanosponges (CDNS) were prepared employed to combine with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) form a CDNS/GQDs/MWCNTs-COOH composite. Scanning electron microscope X-ray diffract...

Polyvinylcaprolactam (PVCap) is an economic kinetic inhibitor for hydrate formation in pipelines during oil and gas transportation. However, its application limited because of the low inhibition performance under certain conditions. In this work, a modified PVCap on chain end proposed. 2-amino-3-propionic acid mercapto-terminated polyvinyl caprolactam (PVCap-NH2-COOH) was synthesized as KHI met...

Low hydrophilicity of graphene is one of the major obstacles for biomaterials application. To create some hydrophilic groups on graphene is addressed this issue. Herein, COOH+ ion implantation modified graphene (COOH+/graphene) and COOH functionalized graphene were designed by physical ion implantation and chemical methods, respectively. The structure and surface properties of COOH+/graphene an...
