Paste electrodes have been constructed using single-wall carbon nanotubes mixed with mineral oil. The electrochemical behavior of such prepared different percentages has compared that graphite paste and evaluated respect to the electrochemistry ferricyanide cyclic voltammetry. Carbon were purified by a treatment concentrated nitric acid, then oxidized in air. In addition, pretreatments carried out increase selectivity nanotube electrodes. Performances studying parameters as current peak,...
Several in vitro and vivo studies suggest local systemic effects following exposure to carbon nanotubes. No data are available, however, on their possible embryotoxicity mammals. In this study, we tested the effect of pristine oxidized single-wall nanotubes (SWCNTs) development mouse embryo. To end, SWCNTs (from 10 ng 30 μg/mouse) were administered female mice soon after implantation (postcoital day 5.5); days later, animals sacrificed, uteri, placentas, fetuses examined. A high percentage...
The transition toward sustainable conservation practices requires a scientifically ground approach to substituting traditional solvent systems with green alternatives. This study aims facilitate the adoption of solvents by restoration professionals systematically evaluating their chemical compatibility and toxicological safety. By integrating Hansen solubility parameters (HSP), Relative Energy Difference (RED), Integrated Toxicity Index (ITI), we identified high potential for replacing...
Magnetic bio-hybrid porous scaffolds have been synthesized, nucleating nano-apatite in situ on self-assembling collagen, the presence of magnetite nano-particles. The magnetic phase acted as a sort cross-linking agent for inducing chemico-physical-mechanical stabilization material and allowing us to control porosity network scaffold. Gradients bio-mineralization magnetization were also developed osteochondral application.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are among the most relevant engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). Given expected rise of exposure to ENMs, there is concern that they may adversely affect health exposed people. Aim study was test hypothesis single wall carbon (SWCNTs) pulmonary acutely autonomic cardiovascular regulation in conscious rats. We studied Wistar‐Kyoto rats which a telemetry transmitter for continuous arterial pressure (AP) and heart rate (HR) recordings surgically implanted. SWCNTs dispersed...
Abstract A new carbon electrode material, obtained by mixing single wall nanotubes (SWNTs) with a mineral oil binder is studied. Carbon nanotube pastes show the special properties of combined various advantages composite electrodes such as very low capacitance (background current) and possibility an easy preparation, modification renewal. better knowledge characteristics reactions at paste (CNTP) was studying electron transfer rates redox couples under different pretreatment conditions....
The ultrafine (UF) component of airborne pollution may impair cardiovascular autonomic control, a high-risk condition for adverse events. Since engineered nanoparticles, such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) share physicochemical properties with UF, they might have similar effects. Aim the study was to evaluate arterial baroreflex function (BRF) at baseline, 24 h after first instillation, immediately before second one, and 2 weeks later, in adult Wystar-Kyoto conscious rats...
Abstract An electrochemical study of several molecules has been carried out, using novel graphene‐modified screen printed electrodes (GN‐SPEs). Different analytical parameters have optimized, as: the graphene concentration for a homogeneous coating electrode surfaces, scan rates and potential window detection potassium ferricyanide, catechol, hexaammineruthenium(III) chloride, sodium hexachloroiridate‐(III) hydrate, dopamine, epinephrine, L ‐tyrosine, 3,4‐dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC),...
Nanowires have received considerable attention owing to their broad potential applications. We report here on the application of nanowires for magnetic control electrochemical reactivity and demonstrate how one can modulate electrocatalytic activity by orienting catalytic at different angles. Unlike early "on/off" switching studies based functionalized spheres, present magnetoswitchable protocol relies modulating without removing material from surface. Such behavior is attributed reversible...
Since graphene nanoparticles are attracting increasing interest in relation to medical applications, it is important understand their potential effects on humans. In the present study, we prepared oxide (GO) nanoribbons by oxidative unzipping of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and analyzed toxicity two human neuroblastoma cell lines. Neuroblastoma most common solid neoplasia children. The hallmark these tumors high number different clinical variables, ranging from highly metastatic,...
Abstract Objective The objective was to deepen the understanding of causes individual variability in phenylketonuria (PKU) by investigating which metabolic variables are most important for predicting cognitive outcomes (Phe average vs Phe variation) and assessing risk impairment associated with adopting a more relaxed approach diet than is currently recommended. Method We analysed associations between measures mixed sample English Italian early-treated adults PKU ( N = 56). Metabolic were...
