A novel selective fluorescent chemosensor based on an 8-hydroxyquinoline-appended fluorescein derivative (L1) was synthesized and characterized. Once combined with Cu2+, it displayed high specificity for sulfide anion. Among the various anions, only anion induced revival of fluoresecence L1, which quenched by resulting in “off–on”-type sensing What’s more, sensor retrievable to indicate anions S2–, turn, increased. With addition compound L1 could give rise a visible pink-to-yellow color...
In bone tissue engineering, it is imperative to design multifunctional biomaterials that can induce and assemble bonelike apatite close natural bone. this study, graphene oxide (GO) was functionalized by carrageenan. The resulting GO-carrageenan (GO-Car) composite further used as a substrate for biomimetic cell-mediated mineralization of hydroxyapatite (HA). It confirmed carrageenan on the GO surface facilitated nucleation HA. observation effect GO-Car adhesion, morphology, proliferation...
