Preparation of graphene oxide modified glass fibers and their application in flame retardant polyamide 6

In order to improve the flame retardancy of glass fibers (GFs) reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) composites and eliminate the “wicking effect,” the preparation and application of graphene oxide (GO) modified GFs were investigated in this work. Flame retardant PA6 was prepared by blending graphene oxide modified GFs reinforced PA6 and aluminum diethyl phosphonate. For the GFs reinforced PA6, the limiting oxygen index of the composite increased from 20.6% to 22.3%, and peak heat release rate decreased by 37.2% in cone calorimeter test via introducing graphene oxide onto the surface of GFs. Comparing PA6/GF30/ADP15 and PA6/GF‐GO30/ADP15, LOI of the later increased to 31.2%, the vertical burning test (UL‐94) reached V‐0, and the peak heat release rate decreased by 18.0%. The interface compatibility was greatly improved after the introduction of GO. The sheet structure of the GO on the GFs surface could block the combustible gas spillage and the flow of melt along the GFs, thus significantly attenuating the “wicking effect” and improving the flame retardancy of composites.     

Titanium dioxide anchored graphene oxide nanosheets for highly selective voltammetric sensing of dopamine

The authors report on an efficient method for the voltammetric sensing of dopamine (DA) by using an electrode modified with alternating monolayers of graphene oxide (GO) and Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles anchored GO nanosheets (NSs)). The as-prepared nanostructures were characterized by photoluminescence spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDAX) techniques. The GO/TiO₂ nanocomposite (NC) was deposited on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), where it displayed an excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of DA, owing to its excellent conductivity, high specific surface area, enhanced interfacial contact and more negative zeta potential. Figures of merit include (a) a fast response (5 s), (b) a wide linear range (between 0.2 and 10 μM of DA) (c) a particularly low detection limit (27 nM), (d) a working potential as low as 0.25 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) and (e) a sensitivity of 1.549 μA·μM^?1·cm^?2. The GO/TiO₂/GCE exhibited excellent selectivity over the other interferences as revealed by the differential pulse voltammetric and amperometric studies. The analysis of spiked urine samples resulted in recoveries in the range of 96 to 106%, with RSDs between 3.8 and 5.2%.

Hybrid graphene oxide/DAB-Am-16 dendrimer: Preparation,characterization chemical reactivity and their electrocatalytic detection of l-Dopamine

Graphene oxide (GO) was chemically modified with a poly(propylene)imine Generation 3.0 dendrimer (DAB-Am-16). The characterization, structure and properties of hybrid graphene oxide/DAB-Am-16 dendrimer was studied by Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-Transforming Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic (XPS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric analysis. After functionalized the hybrid material (GOD) can interact with copper and subsequently with hexacyanoferrate (III) ions (GODHCu). The GODHCu incorporated into a graphite paste electrode (20% w/w) was applied to an electrocatalytic detection of neurotransmitter l-dopamine using differential pulse voltammetry. The analytical curve showed a linear response in the concentration range from 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ to 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹ with a corresponding equation Y(A) = 1.706 × 10⁻⁵ + 0.862 [l-dopamine] and a correlation coefficient r² = 0.998. The detection limit was 6.36 × 10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹ with a relative standard deviation of ±4% (n = 3) and an amperometric sensitivity of 0.862 A/mol L⁻¹.     

Preparation of vertically-aligned nickel nanowires with anodic aluminum oxide templates and their application as field emitters

In this study, well-ordered and vertically-aligned nickel nanowires (NiNWs) with a controllable length were grown inside the nanopores of anodic alumina oxide templates (AAOTs) using a simple electrochemical deposition (ECD) method. The electron field emission characteristics of the prepared NiNWs within AAOTs with two pore diameters (100 and 200 nm) and length in the range of 2.7–22 μm were measured and discussed. The turn-on field/the enhancement factor of 8.5 and 7-μm-long NiNWs prepared within 100 and 200 pore diameter AAOTs, respectively, were about 3.46 V/μm/17,621 and 4.8 V/μm/5001, respectively, according to I–V measurements.     

Evaluation of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide in the immobilization of laccase enzyme and its application in the determination of dopamine

Bioelectrodes were developed based on a simple deposition of graphene oxide (GO) or reduced graphed oxide (rGO) and laccase (Lac) on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode surface. The morphology and electrochemical behavior of the biosensors were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. These results demonstrated that only rGO was successfully applied for the immobilization of the laccase enzyme, improving the analytical signal for the determination of dopamine. The GC/rGO/Lac biosensor was applied to the detection of dopamine in synthetic urine and plasmatic serum samples, achieving a detection limit of 91.0 nmol L^?1.     

4-Mercaptophenylboronic acid functionalized graphene oxide composites: Preparation,characterization and selective enrichment of glycopeptides

Selective enrichment and isolation of glycopeptides from complex biological samples was indispensable for mass spectrometry (MS)-based glycoproteomics, however, it remained a great challenge due to the low abundance of glycoproteins and the ion suppression of non-glycopeptides. In this work, 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid functionalized graphene oxide composites were synthesized via loading gold nanoparticles on polyethylenimine modified graphene oxide surface, followed by 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid immobilization by the formation of Au–S bonding (denoted as GO/PEI/Au/4-MPB composites). The composites showed highly specific and efficient capture of glycopeptides due to their excellent hydrophilicity and abundant boronic acid groups. The composites could selectively capture the glycopeptides from the mixture of glycopeptides and nonglycopeptides, even when the amounts of non-glycopeptides were 100 times more than glycopeptides. Compared with commercial meta-amino phenylboronic acid agarose, the composites showed better selectivity when the sample was decreased to 10 ng. These results clearly verified that the GO/PEI/Au/4-MPB composites might be a promising material for glycoproteomics analysis.     

Magnetic property and structural study of nickel supported on reduced graphene oxide prepared by chemical vapor deposition

Nickel supported on reduced graphene oxide was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition technique. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the prepared sample were studied by means of Raman spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The result of Raman spectroscopy revealed the structure of few-layer graphene as the support for Ni nanoparticles. XP spectrum confirmed the presence of metallic Ni on the a few-layer graphene surface. TE micrograph showed that the nickel nanoparticles were sphere shaped and the mean particle size is about 20 nm deposited on the reduced graphene oxide. The magnetic study showed the ferromagnetic behavior of 3.2 wt% nickel over reduced graphene oxide at room temperature.

Controllable synthesis of nickel hydroxide and porous nickel oxide nanostructures with different morphologies

Alpha-Ni(OH)(2) nanobelts, nanowires, short nanowires, and beta-Ni(OH)(2) nanoplates have been successfully prepared in high yields and purities by a convenient hydrothermal method under mild conditions from very simple systems composed only of NaOH, NiSO(4), and water. It has been found that the ratio of NaOH to NiSO(4) not only affects the morphology of the Ni(OH)(2) nanostructures, but also determines whether the product is of the alpha- or beta-crystal phase. A notable finding is that porous NiO nanobelts were produced after exposure of the Ni(OH)(2) products to an electron beam for several minutes during transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations. Another unusual feature is that rectangular nanoplates with many gaps were obtained. Furthermore, porous NiO nanobelts, nanowires, and nanoplates could also be obtained by annealing the as-prepared Ni(OH)(2) products. A sequence of dissolution, recrystallization, and oriented attachment-assisted self-assembly of nanowires into nanobelts is proposed as a plausible mechanistic interpretation for the formation of the observed structures. The method presented here possesses several advantages, including high yields, high purities, low cost, and environmental benignity. It might feasibly be scaled-up for industrial mass production.

Porous magnetic manganese oxide nanostructures: synthesis and their application in water treatment

Magnetic manganese oxide nanostructures are fabricated at room temperature by mixing a KMnO(4) solution and oleic acid capped Fe(3)O(4) particles. Oleic acid molecules capped Fe(3)O(4) particles are oxidized by potassium permanganate (KMnO(4)) in an aqueous solution to produce porous magnetic manganese oxide nanostructures. The synthesis technique can be extended to other MnO(x) structures with composition of different nanocrystals, such as quantum dots, noble metal crystals which may have important applications as catalysts, adsorbents, electrodes and advanced materials in many scientific disciplines. Transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements are employed to characterize the structures. As an adsorbent in water treatment, the nanostructures possess a large adsorption capability and high organic pollutant removal rates due to the large surface area and pore volume. The nanostructures are recyclable as their adsorption capability can be recovered by combustion. Furthermore, the strong magnetism exhibited by the structures provides an easy and efficient separation means in wastewater treatment under an external magnetic field.     

氧化石墨烯固定化凝集素的制备及在糖蛋白/糖肽富集中的应用

生物体内蛋白质的糖基化修饰调控着细胞识别、细胞黏附和迁移以及免疫应答等多种生理过程,并与多种人类重大疾病的发生、发展密切相关。因此对蛋白质糖基化修饰的鉴定,不仅能够为生物学机理研究提供重要信息,对疾病诊断标志物和治疗靶标的发现也至关重要。然而在复杂生物体系中,大多数糖蛋白为低丰度蛋白质,其含量与现有质谱仪器的检测灵敏度之间存在较大差距,所以对含有不同糖型结构的糖蛋白进行全面/高效的富集,是实现高灵敏度糖蛋白鉴定的必由之路。凝集素富集作为一种有效的糖蛋白富集方法,已在糖蛋白质组学研究中得到了广泛的应用。针对现有凝集素功能化材料存在负载量偏低以及富集效率有限等问题,我们制备了两种以氧化石墨烯(GO)为载体的新型固定化凝集素,利用GO比表面积大,功能基团含量高,分散性、化学稳定性好等特点,实现了高负载量的凝集素固定(GO-ConA 2.073 mg/mg, RSD=1.0%; GO-WGA 1.908 mg/mg, RSD=0.14%)。同时考察了材料的可重复使用性与稳定性:每隔3天测一次同一GO-lectin材料对对应糖蛋白的富集效果,可以看出材料合成两周内富集效果都>200 μg/mg。将该GO-lectin成功应用于糖蛋白、糖肽的选择性富集,在糖蛋白质组学研究中体现出良好的应用潜力。

Preparation of reactive block copolymers and their transformation to hollowed nanostructures

A novel polymeric hollow nanostructure was generated using micellar template method through a three‐step procedure. First, the block copolymers were synthesized via ring‐opening metathesis polymerization by sequentially adding monomers 7‐oxanorborn‐5‐ene‐exo‐exo‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester and the mixture of norbornene and 2,3‐bis(2‐bromoisobutyryloxymethyl)‐5‐norbornene in chloroform, and also atom transfer radical polymerization of 4‐(3‐butenyl)styrene was carried out by using the as‐obtained block copolymer poly(7‐oxanorborn‐5‐ene‐exo,exo‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid dimethylester)‐block‐poly(norbornene‐co‐2,3‐bis(2‐bromoisobutyryloxymethyl)‐5‐norbornene as macroinitiator to afford a graft copolymer bearing poly(4‐(3‐butenyl)styrene) branch poly(7‐oxanorborn‐5‐ene‐exo,exo‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid dimethylester)‐block‐poly(norbornene‐co‐2,3‐bis(2‐bromoisobutyryloxymethyl)‐5‐norbornene)‐graft‐poly(4‐(3‐butenyl)styrene). Second, the shell‐crosslinked micelles were prepared by ruthenium‐mediated ring‐closing metathesis of poly(4‐(3‐butenyl)styrene) branches in intramicelle formed from the copolymers self‐assembly spontaneously in toluene. Finally, the hollowed spherical nanoparticles were presented by removing the micellar copolymer backbone through the cleavage of the ester bonds away from the crosslinked network of branches. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
