Transcriptomic Changes

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has revolutionized sequence-based research. In recent years, high-throughput sequencing has become the method of choice in studying the toxicity of chemical agents through observing and measuring changes in transcript levels. Engineered nanomaterial (ENM)-toxicity has become a major field of research and has adopted microarray and newer RNA-Seq methods. Recently, nanotechnology has become a promising tool in the diagnosis and treatment of several diseases in humans. However, due to their high stability, they are likely capable of remaining in the body and environment for long periods of time. Their mechanisms of toxicity and long-lasting effects on our health is still poorly understood. This review explores the effects of three ENMs including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), quantum dots (QDs), and Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) by cross examining publications on transcriptomic changes induced by these nanomaterials.

Metallurgy Process

A wet powder metallurgy (WPM) process was developed to disperse carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and to fabricate the CNTs reinforced Mg matrix (CNTs/Mg) composite. The dispersion effect of CNTs were evaluated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), respectively. Results showed that the CNTs were homogeneously dispersed on the surface of Mg powder. Adequate bonding and good interfacial interaction between the CNTs and Mg matrix contributed to the efficient load transferring from the CNTs to Mg matrix under a mechanical force. Furthermore, no brittle MgO was formed on the surface and it was beneficial to improving the adhesion of the CNTs to Mg matrix. With 0.5 wt.% CNTs addition, the CNTs/Mg composite experienced remarkable enhancements in tensile stress of 28% and Young’s modulus of 24%. The reasons responsible for these enhancements are suggested as the effective dispersion of the CNTs and the good interface bonding between the CNTs and Mg matrix.

Optical Susceptibility

We have used single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to disperse multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) in water solution through sonication and centrifuge procedures. The advantage of these two polymers is that they do not need toxic organic solvents to distribute the carbon nanotubes. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) technique has been used to investigate the interaction between polymer molecules and MWNTs. The images show that MWNTs can be distributed effectively into the two polymer solutions. The third-order optical susceptibility, nonlinear optical absorption coefficient and optical power limiting of these dispersions have been characterized experimentally using a femtosecond laser system with a tunable range of 750–850 nm. The imaginary part of the third-order optical susceptibility has also been computed.

Biodegradable Nanocomposites

Novel biodegradable nanocomposites containing multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and poly(citric acid) (PCA) were successfully synthesized. For preparation of nanocomposites, MWCNT was opened using a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acid and its derivative containing – COOH and – OH functional groups was obtained. Polycondensation of monohydrate citric acid in the presence of functionalized MWCNT in the melting state was lead to nanotube-graft-poly(citric acid) (CNT-g-PCA) nanocomposites. The degree of polymerization of grafted hyperbranched poly(citric acid) onto the CNTs was controlled using CNT/citric acid ratio. The CNT-g-PCA were soluble in water freely and stirring their water solution and silver nitrate at room temperature lead to the CNT-g-PCA containing encapsulated silver nanoparticles in their polymeric shell. The structure of nanocomposites was characterized by TEM, DLS and spectroscopy methods.

The Ideal

The key problem to prepare carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced ceramic matrix composites is how to break up massive agglomerates of CNTs and disperse uniformly CNTs. We obtain the CNTs-Al2O3composite powder by shear treatment on melted CNTs-Al2O3-agents mixture. Microstructure observations of CNTs-Al2O3composite powder show that CNTs can be dispersed uniformly by shearing process. The rheological results also affirm the conclusion. According to the rheological theory, we build the ideal dispersion model of CNTs-Al2O3suspension system and discuss the dispersion mechanism.
