Summary: Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is a powerful technique for assembling carbon nanotube (CNT) coatings and composite films with controlled architectures. This review focuses on achievements and challenges within the last 15 years, emphasizing the importance of stable CNT suspensions for successful EPD. The advantages of EPD processing include the ability to prepare CNT films and composites with controlled structures, but there are also some disadvantages to consider.

Summary: Nanocomposites based on siloxanes modified with carbon nanoforms have great potential in the electronics industry, medicine and environmental protection. This study shows that polysiloxane and carbon nanotube nanocomposite coatings produced by electrophoretic deposition exhibit electrical conductivity and protect metals from corrosion, although their corrosion resistance differs slightly from that of pure polymeric coatings.

Summary: In this study, the optical and electrical stability of ZnO nanostructures were improved by depositing graphene flakes on the surface. The presence of graphene reduced the temperature dependence of the optical spectrum and minimized the decay of photocurrent at elevated temperatures. This suggests that graphene can be used as a transparent layer to enhance the stability of ZnO nanostructures.

Summary: Carbon nanotubes have unique properties that make them a promising material for biomedical applications. In this study, a method of ultrasonically assisted electrophoretic deposition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on a CoCrMo dental alloy was developed. The corrosion resistance of the coated electrodes in artificial saliva was significantly enhanced by the functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube coating. Electrophoretic deposition was shown to be an effective and low-cost method for producing nanotubes with controlled properties.

Summary: The multiwalled carbon nanotubes were successfully deposited onto porous silicon to form a composite, which was then used to fabricate chemiresistive gas sensors. The sensors showed p-type semiconductor behavior at room temperature, with the sensor fabricated using a 5-minute electrophoresis time demonstrating the best NO2-sensing characteristics, including high response, fast response-recovery time, good repeatability, and selectivity toward 1 ppm NO2. The gas-sensing performance was attributed to the heterostructure effect, high specific surface area, and unblocked porous structure.

Summary: We investigated the electromigration forces for weakly bonded adsorbates on graphene using density-functional based calculations. The results showed that the nature of electromigration forces depends critically on the energy level alignment between the adsorbate state and the Fermi level of the graphene. For resonant adsorbates, the electromigration force is dominated by the electron wind force, while for nonresonant adsorbates, it is essentially the direct force dependent on the adsorbate charge. Moreover, we demonstrated that the magnitude of electromigration forces can be continuously adjusted through electrostatic gating for resonant adsorbates.

Summary: This study synthesized biochar based on sapropel and investigated the effects of chemical modification on its textural characteristics, acid-base properties, and adsorption properties. The results showed that the chemical modification increased the fraction of micropores, specific surface area, and changed the surface properties of biochar. The experiment also revealed that biochar pretreated with alkali exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity for copper ions. A conceptual model identifying the mechanisms of copper adsorption on sapropel-based biosorbent was proposed.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.

Summary: This study aims to develop a nano-biofungicide comprising of volatile essential oil molecules to enhance its efficacy in the field of agriculture through easily scalable green synthesis technique. The nano biofungicide was prepared through one pot hot melt ultrasonication technique with easy water dispersibility and long term stability. The physico-chemical analysis revealed that, nano bio-fungicides were amorphous sphere-shaped nanoparticles with low melting point. The encapsulation efficiency of major components of essential oil was determined, and it was found that they followed Higuchi model of release kinetics. The essential oil loaded nanostructured lipid carrier showed significantly higher mycelial growth inhibition compared to pure essential oil, indicating enhanced bio-efficacy.
