Fabrication of an Electrochemical Sensor Based on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Almotriptan

In the present work, the electrochemical behavior of an antimigraine drug, almotriptan malate (ALM), on a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) film modified glassy carbon electrode under cyclic voltammetry was described for the first time. A significant enhancement in the oxidation peak current of ALM was noticed at MWCNT‐GCE. This property was exploited to develop a simple, sensitive and time‐saving differential pulse voltammetric method for the determination of ALM in bulk and pharmaceutical samples. A linear relationship was observed between concentration and peak current with a correlation coefficient of 0.9915 in the range of 0.25–37.5 µM ALM.     

Impedance DNA Biosensor Using Electropolymerized Polypyrrole/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Modified Electrode

In this paper, we present an electrochemical impedance‐based DNA biosensor by using a composite material of polypyrrole (PPy) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to modify glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The polymer film was electropolymerized onto GCE by cyclic voltammetry (CV) in the presence of carboxylic groups ended MWNTs (MWNTs‐COOH). Such electrode modification method is new for DNA hybridization sensor. Amino group ended single‐stranded DNA (NH₂‐ssDNA) probe was linked onto the PPy/MWNTs‐COOH/GCE by using EDAC, a widely used water‐soluble carbodiimide for crosslinking amine and carboxylic acid group. The hybridization reaction of this ssDNA/PPy/MWNTs‐COOH/GCE resulted in a decreased impedance, which was attributed to the lower electronic transfer resistance of double‐stranded DNA than single‐stranded DNA. As the result of the PPy/MWNTs modification, the electrode obtained a good electronic transfer property and a large specific surface area. Consequently, the sensitivity and selectivity of this sensor for biosensing DNA hybridization were improved. Complementary DNA sequence as low as 5.0×10^?12 mol L^?1 can be detected without using hybridization marker or intercalator. Additionally, it was found that the electropolymerization scan rate was an important factor for DNA biosensor fabrication. It has been optimized at 20 mV s^?1.

Ozonated water samples were successfully analyzed by GC/MWCNT electrode and the recovery procedure yielded values between of 96.5 and 102.3 %.     

多壁纳米碳管固相萃取测定水中的有机氯农药

对于水样中的有机氯农药的净化方法主要是采用传统的液液分配的方法,缺点是溶剂使用量和前处理复杂。近年来固相萃取及固相微萃取等技术被应用到水样中的有机污染物的测定。如利用键合在硅胶上的非极性(C18,LC18等)或极性物质(LC-CN,LC-NH2)对水中有机物进行富集,用GDX或XAD自填的固相柱的报道也很多。纳米技术和纳米材料的发展为开发固相萃取材料带来新契机。纳米材料是指尺寸大小在从1～100m之间物质。与普通的块体材料相比,纳米材料具有较大的比表面,因而有可能具有较大吸附容量。纳米材料在环境有机污染物分离富集方面的应用研究才刚刚开始。本文主要就纳米碳管对水样中的有机氯农药进行研究,优化固相萃取条件。

Electrochemical Characterization of the Interaction of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes with Doxorubicin

It has been suggested that multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) interacting with pharmaceutics may be introduced into the body as nanocarriers. To deliver the anticancer drugs, covalent or noncovalent functionalization of MWCNTs is required. In this study, the influence of oxidation on MWCNTs in the interaction with chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin, was characterized. The binding of doxorubicin with MWCNTs decreased rapidly with the increasing oxidation period with sulfuric acid. However, with nitric acid, the interaction increased initially and slowly decreased with time. The best results were obtained for sulfuric and nitric acid following 1 and 3?h of oxidation, respectively. The results show that sulfuric acid provided more favorable interaction for MWCNTs with doxorubicin than nitric acid.

Gold Nanoparticles Loaded on Activated Carbon as Novel Adsorbent for Kinetic and Isotherm Studies of Methyl Orange and Sunset Yellow Adsorption

In this research, a novel adsorbent gold nanoparticle loaded on activated carbon (Au-NP-AC) was synthesized by a low cost in a routine protocol. Subsequently, this novel material characterization and identification are followed by different techniques such as th eBruner–Emmet–Teller (BET) theory, scanning electron microcopy, and transmission electron microscopy analysis. Unique properties such as high BET surface area (>1229.55 m²/g) and low pore size (<22.46 Å) and average particle size lower than 48.798 Å in addition to high reactive atom and presence of various functional groups make it possible for efficient removal of sunset yellow (SY) and methyl orange (MO). Generally, the influence of variables including amount of adsorbent, initial dyes concentration, contact time, temperature on dyes removal percentage has great effect on removal percentage that their influence was optimized. The kinetic of proposed adsorption processes efficiently followed, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion approach. The equilibrium data of the removal strongly follow the Langmuir monolayer adsorption with high adsorption capacity in a short amount of time. This novel adsorbent by small amount (0.01 g) really is applicable for removal of high amount of both dyes (MO and SY) in short time (<18 minutes). Equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model at all amount of adsorbent, while maximum adsorption capacity for MO 161.29 mg g^?1 and for SY 227.27 for 0.005 g of Au-NP-AC.     

Analytical Biosensing of Hydrogen Peroxide on Brilliant Cresyl Blue/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

A cationic quinine‐imide dye brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were co‐immobilized within ormosil on multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode for the fabrication of highly sensitive and selective hydrogen peroxide biosensor. The presence of epoxy group in ormosil as organic moiety improves the mechanical strength and transparency of the film and amino group provides biocompatible microenvironment for the immobilization of enzyme. The presence of MWCNTs improved the conductivity of the nanocomposite film. The surface characterization of MWCNT modified ormosil nanocomposite film was performed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Cyclic voltammetry and amperometry measurements were used to study and optimize the performance of the resulting peroxide biosensor. The apparent Michaelis–Menten constant was determined to be 1.5 mM. The proposed H₂O₂ biosensor exhibited wide linear range from 3×10^?7 to 1×10^?4 M, and low detection limit 1×10^?7 M (S/N=3) with fast response time <5 s. The probable interferences in bio‐matrix were selected to test the selectivity and no significant response was observed in the biosensor. This biosensor possessed good analytical performance and long term storage stability.     

Electrochemical Behavior of Deoxycholic Acid on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Modified Electrode

Electrochemical reduction of Deoxycholic acid (DCA), as important biological molecule has been studied in 0.05 M KH₂PO₄ aqueous methanol solution (1 : 1, v/v) at a multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified electrode. Based on cyclic voltammetry, Tafel plot, the possible mechanism of the electrochemical reduction of DCA was investigated, as well as DCA mechanical calculations. The transfer coefficient, α, the exchange current density, i₀, the diffusion coefficient, D0 at the MWCNT modified GCE were determined as 0.505, 5.655×10^?7 A/cm² and 1.579×10^?5 cm²/s, respectively. The results of chronoamperometric suggested that the reductive product of DCA was the corresponding hydroxymethyl compound in an over‐all four‐electron process.     

Creep Resistant Polymer Nanocomposites Reinforced with Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Poly(propylene) (PP) nanocomposites filled with shorter‐ and longer‐aspect‐ratio multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were compounded using a twin‐screw extruder and an injection moulding machine. It is shown that with only 1 vol.‐% of MWNTs, creep resistance of PP can be significantly improved with reduced creep deformation and creep rate at a long‐term loading period. Additionally, the creep lifetime of the nanocomposites has been considerably extended by 1 000% compared to that of a neat PP. Three possible mechanisms of load transfer were considered that could contribute to the observed enhancement of creep resistance, which are: (1) fairly good interfacial strength between MWNTs and polymer matrix, (2) increasing immobility of amorphous regions due to nanotubes acting as restriction sites, and (3) high aspect ratio of MWNTs. DSC results showing crystallinity changes in the specimens before and after creep deformation present evidence to confirm these mechanisms. Our results should lead to improved grades of creep resistant polymer nanocomposites for engineering applications.

     

Electrochemical Investigations of the Anticancer Drug Idarubicin Using Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Modified Glassy Carbon and Pyrolytic Graphite Electrodes

The effect of surface modifications on the electrochemical behavior of the anticancer drug idarubicin was studied at multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon and edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes. The surface morphology of the modified electrodes was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The modified electrodes were constructed for the determination of idarubicin using adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry. The experimental parameters such as supporting electrolyte, pH, accumulation time and potential, amount of carbon nanotubes for the sensitive assay of idarubicin were studied as details. Under the optimized conditions, idarubicin gave a linear response in the range 9.36×10^?8–1.87×10^?6 M for modified glassy carbon and 9.36×10^?8–9.36×10^?7 M for modified edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes. The detection limits were found as 1.87×10^?8 M and 3.75×10^?8 M based on modified glassy carbon and edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes, respectively. Interfering species such as ascorbic acid, dopamine, and aspirin showed no interference with the selective determination of idarubicin. The analyzing method was fully validated and successfully applied for the determination of idarubicin in its pharmaceutical dosage form. The possible oxidation mechanism of idarubicin was also discussed. The results revealed that the modified electrodes showed an obvious electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of idarubicin by a remarkable enhancement in the current response compared with bare electrodes.     

A Nitrite Biosensor Based on the Direct Electron Transfer of Hemoglobin Immobilized on Carboxyl‐Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes/Polyimide Composite

The high electrically conductive carboxyl‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (COOH‐MWCNTs) were used to combine with nonconducting polyimide (PI) to generate a PI/COOH‐MWCNTs membrane. PI served as a matrix to entrap COOH‐MWCNTs and hemoglobin (Hb). COOH‐MWCNTs can improve the conductivity of the composite. The direct electrochemistry measurement indicated that the PI/COOH‐MWCNTs composite enhanced the immobilization of Hb significantly. Besides, the Hb/PI/COOH‐MWCNTs/GCE biosensor possessed excellent electrocatalytic activity for the detection of nitrite. Therefore, PI is a good matrix for Hb immobilization and it has application in sensor construction. This work is promising in the development of sensitive biosensors based on PI/COOH‐MWCNTs composite film.     

Voltammetric Determination of Uric Acid with a Glassy Carbon Electrode Coated by Paste of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and Ionic Liquid

The voltammetric behavior of uric acid (UA) has been studied at a multiwalled carbon nanotube‐ionic liquid (i.e., 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, BMIMPF₆) paste coated glassy carbon electrode (MWNTs‐BMIMPF₆/GC). It is found that UA can effectively accumulate at this electrode and cause a sensitive anodic peak at about 0.49 V (vs. SCE) in pH 4.0 phosphate buffer solutions. Experimental parameters influencing the response of the electrode, such as solution pH and accumulation time, are optimized for uric acid determination. Under the optimum conditions, the anodic peak current is linear to UA concentration in the range of 1.0×10^?8 M to 1.0×10^?6 M and 2.0×10^?6 M to 2.0×10^?5 M. The detection limit is 5.0×10^?9 M for 180 s accumulation on open circuit. The electrode can be regenerated by successively cycling in a blank solution for about 3 min and exhibits good reproducibility. A 1.0×10^?6 M UA solution is measured for eight times using the same electrode regenerated after every determination, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the peak current is 3.2%. As for different electrodes fabricated by the same way the RSD (i.e., the electrode to electrode deviation) is 4.2%(n=9). This method has been applied to the determination of UA in human urine samples, and the recoveries are 99%–100.6%. In addition, comparison is made between MWNTs‐BMIMPF₆/GC and MWNTs/GC. Results show that the MWNTs‐BMIMPF₆/GC exhibits higher sensitivity, selectivity and ratio of peak current to background current.
