Abstract
Recent breakthroughs in the field of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have opened up unprecedented opportunities for the development of specialized bioactive CNT-polymers for a variety of biosensor applications. The incorporation of bioactive materials, including DNA, aptamers and antibodies, into CNTs to produce composites of bioactive CNTs has attracted considerable attention. In addition, polymers are essential for the development of biosensors as they provide biocompatible conditions and are the ideal matrix for the immobilization of proteins. The numerous applications of bioactive compounds combined with the excellent chemical and physical properties of CNTs have led to the development of bioactive CNT-polymer composites. This article provides a comprehensive overview of CNT-polymer composites and new approaches to encapsulate bioactive compounds and polymers in CNTs. Finally, biosensor applications of bioactive CNT-polymer for the detection of glucose, H2O2 and cholesterol were investigated. The surface of CNT-polymer facilitates the immobilization of bioactive molecules such as DNA, enzymes or antibodies, which in turn enables the construction of state-of-the-art, future-oriented biosensors.

Abstract
Herein, we investigated the electrochemical behaviour of fMWCNTs decorated with Co-Nd bimetallic nanoparticles and alumina nanoparticles (Co-Nd/Al2O3@fMWCNTs). The nanocomposites were synthesised using simple mechanical mixing and characterised by FT-IR, XRD, UV-visible studies, SEM, TEM and EDAX. Moreover, the crystalline size of the synthesised nanoparticles was also calculated using XRD data (Debye-Scherer formula) and was found in the nm range. The electrochemical behaviour of epinephrine (EP) was examined in the presence of Co-Nd/Al2O3@fMWCNTs nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using various electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and chronocoulometry. Among all the above-mentioned techniques, the DPV response of the modified Co-Nd/Al2O3@fMWCNTs/GCE under optimal circumstances revealed a dual linear range (0.2 to 4000 µM and 4000 to 14,000 µM) and LOD of 0.015 µM (S/N = 3). The sensitivities were determined to be 0.00323 µAµM-1 and 0.0004 µAµM-1 in 0.2 to 4000 µM and 4000 to 14,000 µM concentration ranges. Using chronocoulometry, the surface coverage of Co-Nd/Al2O3@fMWCNTs/GCE was calculated to be 1.37 × 10-8 mol cm-2. The fabricated Co-Nd/Al2O3@fMWCNTs/GCE demonstrated remarkable repeatability, with an RSD of 0.09%, and storage stability of 3 weeks, with 89.6% current retention. Lastly, it was found that Co-Nd/Al2O3@fMWCNTs/GCE worked well for EP analysis in a variety of biological fluids.

Abstract
Sensing sponge materials with light weight, high elasticity, and electrical sensing properties are in enormous demand in electronic fields, but there is an imminent need to develop a scalable and facile method for the manufacture of the sensing material. Herein, an efficient in situ polymerization and convenient preparation process is reported to manufacture the microporous liquid metal/carbon nanotube-polysulfide rubber (LM/CNT-PSR) sponges with excellent mechanical and electrical properties, based on fluidic LMs and rigid CNTs with unique synergistic effect for sponge composites. Excellent mechanical properties of LM/CNT-PSR sponges, such as low density, excellent elasticity, remarkable mechanical recoverability, and self-healing property, are endowed by the interconnected microporous structure of sponge and flexible polysulfide rubber matrix with disulfide bonds. In addition, the synergistic effect of LMs and CNTs leads to excellent conductivity and unique electrical sensing property under mechanical pressure. Microporous LM/CNT-PSR sponges with high performance and simple fabrication process are promising sensing materials for various electronic devices, such as human motion monitoring, and weighing sensing.

Abstract
The rational design of interface materials containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and zeolites (zeolite-CNTs) is a promising perspective in chemical and biochemical communities because they exhibit several outstanding properties such as tunable hydrophobicity-hydrophilicity at interfaces. In this contribution, we report the fabrication of Ag-incorporated nanocrystalline BEA-carbon nanotube (CNT) composites via the one-pot inter-zeolite transformation of the micron-sized FAU-CNT composite in the presence of a Ag precursor. By varying the crystallization time, the inter-zeolite transformation mechanism was explored. Indeed, this process involves an amorphous intermediate of aluminosilicate species with a significant change of the crystal morphology in the presence of CNTs in the synthesis gel. Interestingly, the redispersion of metal particles was observed after the inter-zeolite transformation process, resulting in the high dispersion of metal nanoparticles over BEA nanocrystals. Notably, it was revealed that the Ag sites were also stabilized in the presence of CNT interfaces, leading to the availability of highly active Ag+ ions. To illustrate the beneficial aspect of designer materials, the synthesized Ag-incorporated BEA-CNT composites exhibited high antibacterial activity againstEscherichia coli due to the synergistic effect of the active Ag+ species and appropriate hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of the hybrid material interfaces. This first example opens up perspectives of the rational design of zeolite-CNT interfaces with high metal dispersion via the inter-zeolite transformation approach for biomedical applications.

Abstract
We report a novel approach for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (NPs) stabilized on polymer-wrapped carbon nanotubes (Ag@polymer/CNTs) for the non-enzymatic glucose sensing and antibacterial activity applications. Poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PSM) was functionalized with amino furan to obtain furan-modified poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PSMF), which was later grafted onto the surface of CNTs by Diels-Alder "click" reaction to afford a polymer/CNTs hybrid material. The photo-deposition technique was applied to immobilized small-sized (∼10 nm) AgNPs on the surface of the polymer/CNTs hybrid material using visible light irradiation. The resulting material, Ag@polymer/CNTs, showed promising electrocatalytic activity for the non-enzymatic glucose sensing and antibacterial activity in vitro assays toward Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus bacteria strains. Covalent-bonded polymer layer-bearing carboxylic pendent groups to the CNTs might be playing a pivot role in not only stabilizing AgNPs but also facile electron-transfer reaction, thus demonstrating better activity.

Abstract
The decoration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by metal nanoparticles (NPs) combines the advantages of a high specific surface material with catalytic properties of metal nanocrystals. Little work has been devoted to the decoration of CNTs with copper NPs, and no evidence of copper atomic decoration of CNTs has shown up until now. Herein, we demonstrate that the strong acidic oxidation of double-walled CNTs (dwCNTs) is very efficient for the decoration of the carbon surface by copper NPs and atoms. This treatment severely degraded the CNT walls and generated a large amount of disordered sp3 carbon. This amorphous carbon film bears many chemically active functions like carboxyl and hydroxyl ones. In such conditions, the CNT walls behave as very efficient ligands for the stabilization of copper obtained by the thermolysis of the mesityl precursor in organic solution under mild dihydrogen pressure. In addition to copper NPs, we evidenced the presence of a regular coverage with copper atoms over the dwCNTs. This nanocomposite catalyzes the quantitative synthesis of propargylamines via one A3-type coupling reaction. Five consecutive catalytic cycles with 100% yield could be performed with no loss of activity, and the combination of Cu supported on dwCNTs allows a facile recycling of the catalytic material.

Abstract
The spread of viral diseases has caused global concern in recent years. Detecting viral infections has become challenging in medical research due to their high infectivity and mutation. A rapid and accurate detection method in biomedical and healthcare segments is essential for the effective treatment of pathogenic viruses and early detection of these viruses. Biosensors are used worldwide to detect viral infections associated with the molecular detection of biomarkers. Thus, detecting viruses based on quantum dots biomarkers is inexpensive and has great potential. To detect the ultrasensitive biomarkers of viral infections, QDs appear to be a promising option as biological probes, while physiological components have been used directly to detect multiple biomarkers simultaneously. The simultaneous measurement of numerous clinical parameters of the same sample volume is possible through multiplex detection of human viral infections, which reduces the time and cost required to record any data point. The purpose of this paper is to review recent studies on the effectiveness of the quantum dot as a detection tool for human pandemic viruses. In this review study, different types of quantum dots and their valuable properties in the structure of biomarkers were investigated. Finally, a vision for recent advances in quantum dot-based biomarkers was presented, whereby they can be integrated into super-sensitive probes for the multiplex detection of human viral infections.

Abstract
New materials are the backbone of their technology-driven modern civilization and at present carbon nanostructures are the leading candidates that have attracted huge research activities. Diamanes and diamanoids are the new nanoallotropes of sp3 hybridized carbon which can be fabricated by proper functionalization, substitution, and via Birch reduction under controlled pressure using graphitic system as a precursor. These nanoallotropes exhibit outstanding electrical, thermal, optical, vibrational, and mechanical properties, which can be an asset for new technologies, especially for quantum devices, photonics, and space technologies. Moreover, the features like wide bandgap, tunable thermal conductivity, excellent thermal insulation, etc. make diamanes and diamanoids ideal candidates for nano-electrical devices, nano-resonators, optical waveguides, and the next generation thermal management systems. In this review, diamanes and diamanoids are discussed in detail in terms of its historical prospect, method of synthesis, structural features, broad properties, and cutting-edge applications. Additionally, the prospects of diamanes and diamanoids for new applications are carefully discussed. This review aims to provide a critical update with important ideas for a new generation of quantum devices based on diamanes and diamanoids which are going to be an important topic in the future of carbon nanotechnology.

Abstract
An ethanol gas sensor based on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with various densities and nanoparticle functionalization was investigated. The CNFs were grown by means of a Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), and the synthesis conditions were varied to obtain different number of fibers per unit area. The devices with a larger density of CNFs lead to higher responses, with a maximal responsivity of 10%. Furthermore, to simultaneously improve the sensitivity and selectivity, CNFs were decorated with gold nanoparticles by an impaction printing method. After metal decoration, the devices showed a response 300% higher than pristine devices toward 5 ppm of ethanol gas. The morphology and structure of the different samples deposited on a silicon substrate were characterized by TEM, EDX, SEM, and Raman spectroscopy, and the results confirmed the presence of CNF decorated with gold. The influence of operating temperature (OT) and humidity were studied on the sensing devices. In the case of decorated samples with a high density of nanofibers, a less-strong cross-sensitivity was observed toward a variation in humidity and temperature.

Characterization of Carbon Nanomaterials Dispersions: Can Metal Decoration of MWCNTs Improve Their Physicochemical Properties? NANOMATERIALS 2021; 12:nano12010099. [PMID: 35010051 PMCID: PMC8746781 DOI: 10.3390/nano12010099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Revised: 12/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
A suitable dispersion of carbon materials (e.g., carbon nanotubes (CNTs)) in an appropriate dispersant media, is a prerequisite for many technological applications (e.g., additive purposes, functionalization, mechanical reinforced materials for electrolytes and electrodes for energy storage applications, etc.). Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been considered as a promising "green" alternative, providing a versatile replacement to volatile organic solvents due to their unique physical-chemical properties, being recognized as low-volatility fluids with great dispersant ability. The present work aims to contribute to appraise the effect of the presence of MWCNTs and Ag-functionalized MWCNTs on the physicochemical properties (viscosity, density, conductivity, surface tension and refractive index) of glyceline (choline chloride and glycerol, 1:2), a Type III DES. To benefit from possible synergetic effects, AgMWCNTs were prepared through pulse reverse electrodeposition of Ag nanoparticles into MWCNTs. Pristine MWCNTs were used as reference material and water as reference dispersant media for comparison purposes. The effect of temperature (20 to 60 °C) and concentration on the physicochemical properties of the carbon dispersions (0.2-1.0 mg cm-3) were assessed. In all assessed physicochemical properties, AgMWCNTs outperformed pristine MWCNTs dispersions. A paradoxical effect was found in the viscosity trend in glyceline media, in which a marked decrease in the viscosity was found for the MWCNTs and AgMWCNTs materials at lower temperatures. All physicochemical parameters were statistically analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), at a 5% level of significance.

Abstract
It is presented in this work that lignosulfonate (LS) can be preferentially adsorbed on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) giving rise to the functional platform for platinum nanoparticles (NPt) deposition. The novel MWCNT/LS/NPt hybrid material has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The morphology of the MWCNT/LS/NPt electrodes has been investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The electrochemical studies of MWCNT/LS/NPt hybrid material revealed strong electrocatalytic properties towards hydrogen peroxide. In addition, the effects of lignosulfonate amount adsorbed at the MWCNT on the voltammetric response of the hydrogen peroxide were discussed and used to select the optimal and effective conditions for the synthesis of the electrode material. An amperometric biosensor for glucose was developed based on the covalent linkage of glucose oxidase (GOx) at the MWCNT/LS/NPt. The enzyme electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity and rapid response for glucose. The linear range of the glucose determination was 50-1400 µM and LOD was quantified as 15.67 µM.

NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11051234.

Abstract
The superior mechanical properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) play a significant role in the improvement of the mechanical and thermal stability of an epoxy matrix. However, the agglomeration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the epoxy is a common challenge and should be resolved to achieve the desired enhancement effect. The present paper investigated the thermal, mechanical, and water uptake properties of epoxy nanocomposites with surfactant-modified MWCNTs. The nanocomposites were prepared through the incorporation of different weight concentrations of MWCNTs into the epoxy matrix. Comparative analysis of neat epoxy and epoxy/CNT nanocomposites were conducted through thermal, mechanical, microscopic, and water uptake tests to reveal the improvement mechanism. The homogenous distribution of the CNTs in the epoxy was achieved by wrapping the surfactant onto the CNTs. The addition of surfactant-modified CNTs into the epoxy caused an obvious increase in the mechanical and thermal properties. This improvement mechanism could be attributed to the uniform dispersion of the CNTs in the epoxy matrix reducing the free volume between the polymer chains and restricting the chain segmental mobility, leading to strong interfacial bonding and an efficient load transfer capability between the CNTs and the epoxy matrix. However, the mechanical and thermal properties of the epoxy/CNT nanocomposite decreased owing to the agglomeration effect when the concentration of the CNTs exceeded the optimal percentage of 1.5%. Additionally, the CNTs could impart a reduction in the wettability of the surface of the epoxy/CNT nanocomposite, leading to the increase in the contact angle and a reduction in the water uptake, which was significant to improve the durability of the epoxy. Moreover, the higher weight concentration (2%) of the CNTs showed a greater water uptake owing to agglomeration, which may cause the formation of plenty of microcracks and microvoids in the nanocomposite.

Abstract
Molybdenum oxycarbide clusters are novel nanomaterials that exhibit attractive catalytic activity; however, the methods for their production are currently very restrictive. This work represents a new strategy for the creation of near-subnanometer size molybdenum oxycarbide clusters on multilayer graphene. To adsorb Mo-based polyoxometalates of the type [PMo12 O40 ]3- as a precursor for Mo oxycarbide clusters, the novel tripodal-phenyl cation N,N,N-tri(4-phenylbutyl)-N-methylammonium ([TPBMA]+ ) is synthesized. [TPBMA]+ exhibits superior adsorption on multilayer graphene compared to commercially available cations such as tetrabutylammonium ([nBu4 N]+ ) and tetraphenylphosphonium ([PPh4 ]+ ). Using [TPBMA]+ as an anchor, highly dispersed precursor clusters (diameter: 1.0 ± 0.2 nm) supported on multilayer graphene are obtained, as confirmed by high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy. Remarkably, this new material achieves the catalytic reduction of CO2 to selectively produce CO (≈99.9%) via the reverse water-gas-shift reaction, by applying carbothermal hydrogen reduction to generate Mo oxycarbide clusters in situ.

Abstract
The mechanochemical synthesis of nanomaterials for catalytic applications is a growing research field due to its simplicity, scalability, and eco-friendliness. Besides, it provides materials with distinct features, such as nanocrystallinity, high defect concentration, and close interaction of the components in a system, which are, in most cases, unattainable by conventional routes. Consequently, this research field has recently become highly popular, particularly for the preparation of catalytic materials for various applications, ranging from chemical production over energy conversion catalysis to environmental protection. In this Review, recent studies on mechanochemistry for the synthesis of catalytic materials are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the straightforwardness of the mechanochemical route-in contrast to more conventional synthesis-in fabricating the materials, which otherwise often require harsh conditions. Distinct material properties achieved by mechanochemistry are related to their improved catalytic performance.

Abstract
This paper reports the facile and scalable synthesis of hybrid N-doped carbon quantum dots/multi-walled carbon nanotube (CD/CNT) composites, which are efficient alternative catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells. The N-doped CDs for large-scale production were obtained within 5 minutes via a one-step polyol process using ethylenediamine (ED) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent. For comparison, different CDs were also prepared using ethylene glycol (EG) and ethanolamine (EA) in the same manner. Physicochemical characterization suggested the successful formation of a CD(ED)/CNT hybrid without individual CD(ED)s and CNTs. The N-doped CD(ED)/CNT catalyst exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity in an alkaline solution compared to other composites (CD(EG)/CNT and CD(EA)/CNT). The Tafel slope (−60.9 mV dec−1) and durability (∼9.1% decay over 10 h) for CD(ED)/CNT were superior to high-performance Pt/C catalysts. The electrochemical double-layer capacitance on the CD(ED)/CNT hybrid showed apparent improvement of the active surface area because of N-doping and highly decorated CDs on the CNT wall. These results provide an innovative approach for the potential application of all carbon hybrid structures in electrocatalysis. The ORR measurements showed that the CD(ED)/CNT catalyst was superior to CD(EG)/CNT and CD(EA)/CNT. They even surpassed the activity of commercial Pt/C in terms of durability, Tafel slope, and MeOH tolerance.![]()

Abstract
This study presents the electromagnetic (EM) characterization of a multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)-silver nanoparticles (AgNP)-reinforced poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hybrid nanocomposite fabricated via the solution mixing technique. Primarily, the structure and morphological properties of the PVA/MWCNT-AgNP hybrid nanocomposite are confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The complex permittivity (ε*) and permeability (μ*), as well as the electromagnetic scattering parameters are measured using a PNA network analyzer equipped with X-band waveguide. The results showed an enhanced permittivity (ε' ≈ 25) value of the hybrid nanocomposite in the frequency range of 8-12 GHz. However, the permeability decreased to almost zero (μ' ≈ 0.4) since the inclusion of AgNP with an average particle size of 40 nm is not susceptible to magnetization and causes higher magnetic losses (tan δμ) than dielectric losses (tan δε). Remarkably, the hybrid nanocomposite reduced transmission of electromagnetic (EM) wave by nearly 60% in comparison to PVA/MWCNT. This is attributed to the enhanced absorption and reflection at the nanotubes, and metal-dielectric interfaces have induced multiple internal reflections owing to the porous structure of the nanocomposite. The prospect of the PVA/MWCNT-AgNP hybrid nanocomposite is favorable as a thin absorbing material for EM shielding applications.

Abstract
The interaction between multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and soil heavy metals was rarely studied. With the convenience of detecting multiple metal elements by ICP-AES, this paper examined the potential effectiveness of MWCNTs on extractability of antimony (Sb) and cadmium (Cd) in contaminated soil. Three-step sequential extraction procedure, toxicity characteristic leaching procedure, bioaccessibility and CaCl2 single extraction were employed to evaluate Sb and Cd speciations and their extractabilities. According to our results, only at low Sb content level of 100 mg/kg, antimony bioavailability reduced with MWCNTs addition of 0.3% and 0.9% by 22.97% and 20.74%, respectively, which might due to the increase of adsorption point, nevertheless, the excess Sb(OH)6- was not adsorbed more efficiently. Secondly, due to the difference in effective specific surface area, only under the condition of high content level and MWCNTs addition of 0.1%, the mild acid-soluble fraction increased at most by 15.40% for Sb and 9.40% for Cd, respectively. However, in terms of TCLP-extractable Sb and Cd and CaCl2-extractable Sb and Cd, no significant, continuous, regular extractability pattern were found. Overall, MWCNTs were selective on extractability of soil heavy metals due to mechanisms of physical adsorption. This paper provides data reference for the interaction between MWCNTs and soil heavy metals extractability.

Abstract
A novel strategy of using hydrostatic pressures to synthesize gold-carbon (Au-C) nanohybrid materials is explored. The stable face-centered-cubic (fcc) Au undergoes a structural phase transition to a mixture of primitive orthorhombic and cubic phases as the carbon phase acquires a highly ordered onion-like carbon (OLC) structure which encapsulates the Au nanoparticles, thereby exerting an additional pressure. Increasing the pressure results in a one dimensional (1-D) chain-like structure with the primitive cubic Au nanoparticles contained in an amorphous carbon matrix. The OLC structure allows the formation of quenchable Au nanoparticle phases with the primitive close packing and Au-C hybrids with new mesoscopic structures. Under pressure, we observe the formation of a hybrid material composed of a poorly conducting matrix made of amorphous carbon and conducting OLC-encapsulated Au nanoparticles. The electrical conductivity of this hybrid material under pressure reveals a percolation threshold. We present a new synthesis approach to explore the interplay between atomic and mesoscopic structures and the electrical conductivity of metal hybrid structures.

Abstract
Ivabradine hydrochloride (IVB) has shown high medical importance as it is a medication for lowering the heart rate for the symptomatic chronic heart failure and symptomatic management of stable angina pectoralis. The high dose of IVB may cause severe and prolonged bradycardia, uncontrolled blood pressure, headache, and blurred vision. In this study, a highly sensitive carbon-paste electrode (CPEs) was constructed for the potentiometric determination of IVB in pharmaceutical formulations. t-Butyl calixarene (t-BCX) was used as an ionophore due to its ability to mask IVB in the cavity via multiple H-bonding at the lower rim, as estimated quantitatively by the sandwich membrane method (Log βILn = 8.62). Besides, the use of multi-walled carbon nanotubes decorated with Fe2O3 nanoparticles (Fe2O3@MWCNTs) as an additive for the paste electrode significantly improved the detection limit of the sensor up to 36 nM, with Nernstian response of 58.9 mV decade-1 in the IVB linear dynamic range of 10-3-10-7 M in aqueous solutions. The constructed sensors showed high selectivity against interfering species that may exist in physiological fluids or pharmaceutical formulations (e.g. Na+, K+, NH4+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Cr3+, Sr2+, glucose, lactose, maltose, glycine, dopamine, and ascorbic acid). The sensors were successfully employed for IVB determination in the pharmaceutical formulations (Savapran®).

Abstract
In the last decade, biochemical sensors have brought a disruptive breakthrough in analytical chemistry and microbiology due the advent of technologically advanced systems conceived to respond to specific applications. From the design of a multitude of different detection modalities, several classes of sensor have been developed over the years. However, to date they have been hardly used in point-of-care or in-field applications, where cost and portability are of primary concern. In the present review we report on the use of nanostructured organic and hybrid compounds in optoelectronic, electrochemical and plasmonic components as constituting elements of miniaturized and easy-to-integrate biochemical sensors. We show how the targeted design, synthesis and nanostructuring of organic and hybrid materials have enabled enormous progress not only in terms of modulation and optimization of the sensor capabilities and performance when used as active materials, but also in the architecture of the detection schemes when used as structural/packing components. With a particular focus on optoelectronic, chemical and plasmonic components for sensing, we highlight that the new concept of having highly-integrated architectures through a system-engineering approach may enable the full expression of the potential of the sensing systems in real-setting applications in terms of fast-response, high sensitivity and multiplexity at low-cost and ease of portability.

Abstract
The carbon-based materials (CbMs) refer to a class of substances in which the carbon atoms can assume different hybridization states (sp1, sp2, sp3) leading to different allotropic structures -. In these substances, the carbon atoms can form robust covalent bonds with other carbon atoms or with a vast class of metallic and non-metallic elements, giving rise to an enormous number of compounds from small molecules to long chains to solids. This is one of the reasons why the carbon chemistry is at the basis of the organic chemistry and the biochemistry from which life on earth was born. In this context, the surface chemistry assumes a substantial role dictating the physical and chemical properties of the carbon-based materials. Different functionalities are obtained by bonding carbon atoms with heteroatoms (mainly oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur) determining a certain reactivity of the compound which otherwise is rather weak. This holds for classic materials such as the diamond, the graphite, the carbon black and the porous carbon but functionalization is widely applied also to the carbon nanostructures which came at play mainly in the last two decades. As a matter of fact, nowadays, in addition to fabrication of nano and porous structures, the functionalization of CbMs is at the basis of a number of applications as catalysis, energy conversion, sensing, biomedicine, adsorption etc. This work is dedicated to the modification of the surface chemistry reviewing the different approaches also considering the different macro and nano allotropic forms of carbon.

Abstract
Anisotropic hydrogels with a hierarchical structure can mimic biological tissues, such as neurons or muscles that show directional functions, which are important factors for signal transduction and cell guidance. Here, we report a mussel-inspired approach to fabricate an anisotropic hydrogel based on a conductive ferrofluid. First, polydopamine (PDA) was used to mediate the formation of PDA-chelated carbon nanotube-Fe3O4 (PFeCNT) nanohybrids and also used as a dispersion medium to stabilize the nanohybrids to form a conductive ferrofluid. The ferrofluid can respond to an orientated magnetic field and be programed to form aligned structures, which were then frozen in a hydrogel network formed via in situ free-radical polymerization and gelation. The resulted hydrogel shows directional conductive and mechanical properties, mimicking an oriented biological tissue. Under external electrical stimulation, the orientated PFeCNT nanohybrids can be sensed by the myoblasts cultured on the hydrogel, resulting in the oriented growth of cells. In summary, the mussel-inspired anisotropic hydrogel with its aligned structural complexity and anisotropic properties together with the cell affinity and tissue adhesiveness is a potent multifunctional biomaterial for mimicking oriented tissues to guide cell proliferation and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are among the strongest and stiffest contender to be used as filler to elevate the properties of epoxy. The aim of this research work is to evaluate the structural, thermal, and morphological properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) hybridized with silver, copper and silver/copper nanoparticles (Ag/CuNP) obtained via chemical reduction of aqueous salts assisted with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as stabilizing agent. The MWCNTs/NP was further incorporated in DGEBA (epoxy) using ethyl cellulose as hardener. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals micro structural analysis of the MWCNTs/NP hybrids. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra prove the interactions between the NP and MWCNTs. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the MWCNTs/NP hybrids decompose at a much faster rate and the weight loss decreased considerably due to the presence of NP. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms the formation of NP on the surface of MWCNTs and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirms the full covering of MWCNTs/NP hybrids with DGEBA.

Abstract
Variation in the thermal conductivity of a metal-coated tri-walled carbon nanotube (3WCNT), in thepresence of vacancies, was studied using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. A Two-Temperature model was used to account for electronic contribution to heat transfer. For 3WCNT with 0.5%and 1% random vacancies, there was 76%, and 86% decrease in the thermal conductivity, respectively. In thatorder, an overall ~66% and ~140% increase in the thermal conductivity was recorded when 3 nm thick coatingof metal (nickel) was deposited around the defective models. We have also explored the effects of tubespecific and random vacancies on thermal conductivity of the 3WCNT. The changes in thermal conductivityhave also been justified by the changes in vibrational density of states of the 3WCNT and the individualtubes. The results obtained can prove to be useful for countering the detrimental effects of vacancies incarbon nanotubes.

Abstract
MXenes, carbon nanotubes, and nanoparticles are attractive candidates for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. The composites were prepared through a filtration technique and spray coating process. The functionalization of non-woven carbon fabric is an attractive strategy. The prepared composite was characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Raman spectroscopy. The MXene-oxidized carbon nanotube-sodium dodecyl sulfate composite (MXCS) exhibited 50.5 dB (99.999%), and the whole nanoparticle-based composite blocked 99.99% of the electromagnetic radiation. The functionalization increased the shielding by 15.4%. The composite possessed good thermal stability, and the maximum electric conductivity achieved was 12.5 Scm-1. Thus, the composite shows excellent potential applications towards the areas such as aeronautics, mobile phones, radars, and military.

Abstract
The simultaneous electrochemical determination of myricetin and rutin remains a challenge due to their indistinguishable potentials. To solve this problem, we constructed a ternary platinum nanoparticle, reduced graphene oxide, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Pt@r-GO@MWCNTs) nanocomposite via a facile one-pot synthetic method. Under the optimized conditions, the ternary Pt@r-GO@MWCNTs nanocomposite exhibited good electrocatalytic activity toward myricetin and rutin via solid phase extraction and excellent performance for the simultaneous determination of myricetin and rutin. The oxidation peak current of myricetin was proportional to its concentrations in the range of 0.05–50 μM with a detection limit of 0.01 μM (S/N = 3). The linear range for rutin was 0.05–50 μM with a detection limit of 0.005 μM (S/N = 3). The ternary nanocomposite sensor also exhibited good reproducibility and stability, and was successfully used for the simultaneous determination of myricetin and rutin in real orange juice samples with recoveries ranging between 100.57% and 108.46%.
