Summary: In this study, multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) enhanced 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium cation-based room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) were investigated for CO2 capture. The results showed that [HMIM][Tf2N] exhibited better CO2 capture capability compared to other ionic liquids. Additionally, it was found that pressure and MWCNT nanoparticle concentration had a greater effect on the CO2 absorption capability of MWCNT/[HMIM][Tf2N] NEILs than temperature.

Summary: The study found that the properties of nanocomposites were dependent on the concentration of CNTs. Nanocomposites fabricated in a quasi-AC electric field showed more uniform and non-agglomerated characteristics. With 1 wt% of CNT, the nanocomposite exhibited suitable electrical conductivity and mechanical properties for microfluidic devices.

Summary: A 3D Fe3O4@MWCNT-CdIIP was synthesized by oxidizing the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and then terminating it with an ion-imprinted polymer. The artificial neural network outperformed the central composite design methodology in predicting the optimal adsorption conditions. Under the optimized conditions (pH 5.6, time 15 min, concentration 800 μg/mL, temperature 25 °C), the adsorption capacity of Cd(II) was 109 mg/g (2.5 times higher than non-imprinted polymer) according to the Toth isotherm. The developed solid phase extraction method coupled with flame atomic absorption spectrometry showed selective recognition towards Cd(II), with a limit of detection of 1.13 μg/L and a limit of quantification of 3.21 μg/L after preconcentration (preconcentration factor 50), and demonstrated good robustness. The method was successfully applied to determine Cd(II) in various food samples, water, wastewater, and also showed efficient removal (>95%) of anionic dyes using Cd(II) loaded IIP.

Summary: An electrochemical sensor was developed for direct detection of organic peroxide explosives, specifically TATP and HMTD. The sensor exhibited a distinct advantage by responding to intact TATP solutions in neutral medium, demonstrating excellent selectivity and sensitivity for PBE detection. The sensor also showed nonresponsive behavior to H2O2, preventing false positives from other peroxide materials commonly found in everyday use.

Summary: The newly designed peptides Pyr-GF and GSTLN enhance the inhibitory effect of pravastatin on HMGCoAR, with the combination showing more significant inhibition compared to pravastatin alone. The peptides demonstrate a cholesterol-lowering effect and act as adjuvants when combined with pravastatin, with Pyr-GF mainly targeting the catalytic site and GSTLN targeting the NADPH site of HMGCoAR.

Summary: In this study, novel quaternary MWCNT/CuO/Fe3O4/PANI nanocomposites were synthesized and demonstrated superior microwave attenuation performance in terms of reflection loss and absorption bandwidth. The TEM and SEM images showed a uniform and hybrid structure of the nanocomposites. The results indicated that the different weight ratios of CuO/Fe3O4/PANI to MWCNT had a significant effect on the performance of the nanocomposites.
