Electropolymerization of compounds containing phenolic fragments is a promising approach for electrode surface modification. Novel electrodes based on a combination of carbon nanotubes and electropolymerized ellagic acid or aluminon were developed for the direct quantification of flavanones (naringin and hesperidin)— the major flavonoids of Citrus fruits. Conditions of monomers’ potentiodynamic electropolymerization were optimized. Electrodes surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical methods. A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and poly(ellagic acid) allowed quantification of naringin in the ranges of 0.050–1.0 and 1.0–100 µM with the detection and quantification limits of 14 and 47 nM, respectively. Simultaneous voltammetric quantification of naringin and hesperidin in the ranges of 0.10–2.5 and 2.5–25 µM for both analytes with the detection limits of 20 nM and 29 nM for naringin and hesperidin, respectively, was achieved on GCE modified with polyaminobenzene sulfonic acid functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (f-SWCNTs) and polyaluminon. High selectivity of the elec-trodes’ response to flavanones in the presence of typical interferences and natural phenolics was confirmed. The approaches were successfully applied to citrus juices.","PeriodicalId":336049,"journal":{"name":"The 3rd International Online-Conference on Nanomaterials","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124011396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pei","doi":"10.3390/materproc2022009016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/materproc2022009016","url":null,"abstract":": Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a calcium phosphate-based inorganic constitute in bones and teeth. The synthesis of nanostructured rods that mimic the natural bone apatite has attracted significant attention. Unfortunately, pristine HAp is unsuitable for clinical translation due to its brittleness, limited strength, uncontrolled leaching, and poor surface properties. These limitations necessitate size reduction, surface modification, and ion incorporation to expand their scope in bone reconstruction. Herein, iron-reinforced hydroxyapatite nanorods (Fe-HAp) were used as an inorganic component, and catechol-modified gelatin methacryloyl was employed as a surface functional modifier agent. Our study highlighted that Fe-doped HAp nanomaterials are more promising for developing bioactive surfaces than other ion-incorporated nanomaterials due to their metal-catechol network (MCN) surface engineering. Nanostructural, surface chemistries, cytocompatibility, and matrix mineralization characteristics of Fe-HAp and Fe-HAp/MCN nanorods have been comparatively studied. The results support that MCN-coated nanorod surfaces improved HAp cytocompatibility, bioactivity, and phase compatibility between organic/inorganic nanomaterials, which could be crucial for bone reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":336049,"journal":{"name":"The 3rd International Online-Conference on Nanomaterials","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126704288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the second stage, magnetic impurities of Fe and Co atoms were implanted into epitaxial Pd thin films to verify DFT results. Magnetic properties of implanted Pd films were investigated by Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) in the temperature range from 5 K to 300 K. It has been established that VSM results are in a good agreement with ab initio calculations.","PeriodicalId":336049,"journal":{"name":"The 3rd International Online-Conference on Nanomaterials","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129832200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
