ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 245:117369. [PMID: 37827372 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
Using poly (vanillin-co-chitosan)/functionalized MWCNTs/GCE (PV-CS/f-MWCNTs/GCE) as a polymeric nanocomposite modified electrode, the present investigation has been conducted on the electrochemical detection of α-lipoic acid (α-LA) to prevent the activation of microglia inflammation of the nervous system. The manufacture of modified polymeric nanocomposite electrodes was carried out using the established electropolymerization process. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses of structure revealed that the electropolymerization of poly (vanillin-co-chitosan) on the surface of the f-MWCNTs modified electrode was successful. Vanillin-co-chitosan electropolymerization on f-MWCNTs as electroactive sheets can enhance the signal for α-LA electrochemical sensors, according to research on the electrochemical characteristics utilizing cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methodologies. The PV-CS/f-MWCNTs/GCE demonstrated that it had a sensitivity of 0.04664 μA/μM, a detection limit of 0.012 μM, and an excellent response, linear range, and wide linear range to α-LA from 0 to 3000 μM. The results of the application of PV-CS/f-MWCNTs/GCE for determining the concentration of α-LA in a prepared real sample of human serum by DPV and human lipoic acid ELISA Kit analyses via standard addition method illustrated the substantial conformity between the findings of both assays. The results of the DPV analyses resulted in acceptable recovery values (97.60%-99.10%) and appropriate values of the Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) (3.58%-5.07%), which demonstrated the great applicability and accuracy of the results of PV-CS/f-MWCNTs/GCE for determining α-LA concentration in biological fluids and pharmaceutical specimens.

Abstract
This work describes a new concept of porous vapor sensor materials based on co-continuous polycarbonate/poly(vinylidene fluoride)/multiwalled carbon nanotube (PC/PVDF/MWCNT) blend composites. The blend composites were fabricated by melt mixing in a one-step mixing process, and the MWCNT containing component (here PC) was extracted, leaving a MWCNT network on the continuous surface of the remaining component (here PVDF). First, by selecting three PCs with different molecular weights, the blend viscosity ratio and blend fineness and interfacial area were varied. At the chosen blend composition of 40/60 wt %, the desired co-continuous structure was achieved with MWCNTs selectively localized in PC. The conductive polymer composites (CPCs) with low-viscosity PC had the highest conductivity due to a combination of the best MWCNT dispersion and the coarsest blend morphology. The vapor sensing of CPC sensor materials with 1 wt % MWCNT was tested using saturated vapors of dichloromethane, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, and ethyl acetate, showing good interaction with PC. The compact compression molded CPC materials with low-viscosity PC showed the lowest relative resistance changes (Rrel) during the cyclic sensing tests, but a better recovery compared to corresponding CPCs with medium and high viscosity PC. The porous CPC sensors showed remarkable vapor sensing performance compared to the corresponding compact sensors with better sensing stability, reproducibility, and reversibility. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that a fraction of the nanotubes remained on the surface of the continuous, nonsoluble PVDF after PC extraction. The porous sensor material from which the low-viscosity PC was extracted showed the highest Rrel (e.g., around 1300% after 100 s immersion in acetone vapor) compared to all other organic vapors investigated. The difference in vapor measurement between compact and porous sensor materials was attributed to the different sensing mechanisms of polymer swelling for the compact and vapor absorption on the free CNT networks for the porous samples.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely studied and used for the construction of electrochemical biosensors owing to their small size, cylindrical shape, large surface-to-volume ratio, high conductivity and good biocompatibility. In electrochemical biosensors, CNTs serve a dual purpose: they act as immobilization support for biomolecules as well as provide the necessary electrical conductivity for electrochemical transduction. The ability of a recognition molecule to detect the analyte is highly dependent on the type of immobilization used for the attachment of the biomolecule to the CNT surface, a process also known as biofunctionalization. A variety of biofunctionalization methods have been studied and reported including physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, polymer encapsulation etc. Each method carries its own advantages and limitations. In this review we provide a comprehensive review of non-covalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes with a variety of biomolecules for the development of electrochemical biosensors. This method of immobilization is increasingly being used in bioelectrode development using enzymes for biosensor and biofuel cell applications.

Influence of Water Molecules on the Detection of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Cancer Biomarkers by Nanocomposite Quantum Resistive Vapor Sensors vQRS. CHEMOSENSORS 2018.

Abstract
The anticipated diagnosis of various fatal diseases from the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOC) biomarkers of the volatolome is the object of very dynamic research. Nanocomposite-based quantum resistive vapor sensors (vQRS) exhibit strong advantages in the detection of biomarkers, as they can operate at room temperature with low consumption and sub ppm (part per million) sensitivity. However, to meet this application they need to detect some ppm or less amounts of biomarkers in patients' breath, skin, or urine in complex blends of numerous VOC, most of the time hindered by a huge amount of water molecules. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze the effects of moisture on the chemo-resistive sensing behavior of carbon nanotubes based vQRS. We show that in the presence of water molecules, the sensors cannot detect the right amount of VOC molecules present in their environment. These perturbations of the detection mechanism are found to depend on the chemical interactions between water and other VOC molecules, but also on their competitive absorption on sensors receptive sites, located at the nanojunctions of the conductive architecture. This complex phenomenon studied with down to 12.5 ppm of acetone, ethanol, butanone, toluene, and cyclohexane mixed with 100 ppm of water was worth to investigate in the prospect of future developments of devices analysing real breath samples in which water can reach a concentration of 6%.

Abstract
The analysis of a volatolome is a promising approach to allow the early diagnosis of diseases such as cancers. However, one important challenge is to take the chemical fingerprint of the complex blend of volatiles, for many of them only present at the sub-ppm level. We have investigated a facile route to differentiate the chemo-resistive behaviour of quantum resistive vapour sensors (vQRS) and provide them with a strong methanol selectivity by simply changing the sulfonation degree of poly(ether ether ketone) up to 85%. The hybridization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with fullerene (C60) structured in a 3D architecture by spray layer-by-layer (sLbL) has allowed us to boost significantly the sensitivity of sensors to reach the sub-ppm level (340 ppb). After their integration into an e-nose, PEEK-nanocarbon sensors were found to effectively discriminate both single and binary mixtures of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and among all biomarkers to detect preferentially methanol with a high signal to noise ratio (200).

Abstract
A novel electronic nose system comprising functionalized β-cyclodextrin wrapped reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sensors with distinct ability of discrimination of a set of volatile organic compounds has been developed. Non-covalent modification of chemically functionalized cyclodextrin with RGO is carried out by using pyrene adamantane as a linker wherever necessary, in order to construct a supramolecular assembly. The chemical functionality on cyclodextrin is varied utilising the principle of selective chemical modification of cyclodextrin. In the present study, the combined benefits of the host-guest inclusion complex formation ability and tunable chemical functionality of cyclodextrin, as well as the high surface area and electrical conductivity of graphene, are utilized for the development of a set of highly selective quantum resistive chemical vapour sensors (QRS), which can be assembled in an electronic nose.
