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...

Carboxyl group modified zinc phthalocyanines (ZnPc) are classic and widely used photosensitizers (PSs) in upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) for tumor treatment. To improve the PDT activity of the complex system of ZnPc and UCNPs, many UCNPs with high red emission intensity were design and prepared. ZnPc-(COOH)4 tends to aggregate both in water and under phys...

in this paper, the chemical functionalization of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwnt-cooh) by 1,2-phenylenediamine, have been investigated. mwnt-benzimidazole is obtained through mwnt-amide reaction with pocl3 after 72h, which is confirmed by ft-ir, sem, tga, and elemental analysis. these functionalizations have been chosen due to –nh2 and nhco active sites in mwnt-amide for future...

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...

Graphene may have attractive properties for some biomedical applications, but its potential adverse biological effects, in particular, possible modulation when it comes in contact with blood, require further investigation. Little is known about the influence of exposure to COOH(+)-implanted graphene (COOH(+)/graphene) interacting with red blood cells and platelets. In this paper, COOH(+)/graphe...
