Density-controlled single-crystalline β- SiC nanotubes were successfully synthesized on a large scale by adding Zn into the system via direct thermal evaporation of C 60 onto silicon wafers at 1290°C. Interestingly, no Zn elements can be detected in the final products. However, the addition of Zn power is important because without Zn , density-controlled SiC nanotubes cannot be observed in our experiment. On the basis of the results, a possible growth mechanism was proposed to illustrate the role that Zn played in the growth process. The field emission and hydrophobic performances show strong dependence on the densities of as-synthesized β- SiC nanotubes. The density-controlled β- SiC nanotubes with tunable field emission and hydrophobic properties may have potential in the future of nanotechnology.

Hydrogel with chemical modification has been used for 3D printing in the biomedical field of cell and tissue-based regeneration because it provides a good cellular microenvironment and mechanical supportive ability. As a scaffold and a matrix, hydrogel itself has to be modified chemically and physically to form a β-sheet crosslinking structure for the strength of the biomaterials. These chemical modifications could affect the biological damage done to encapsulated cells or surrounding tissues due to unreacted chemical residues. Biological assessment, including assessment of the cytocompatibility of hydrogel in clinical trials, must involve testing with cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization. Here, we modified silk fibroin and glycidyl methacrylate (Silk-GMA) and evaluated the physical characterizations, residual chemical detection, and the biological effect of residual GMA depending on dialysis periods. Silk-GMA depending on each dialysis period had a typical β-sheet structure in the characterization analysis and residual GMA decreased from dialysis day 1. Moreover, cell proliferation and viability rate gradually increased; additionally, necrotic and apoptotic cells decreased from dialysis day 2. These results indicate that the dialysis periods during chemical modification of natural polymer are important for removing unreacted chemical residues and for the potential application of the manufacturing standardization for chemically modified hydrogel for the clinical transplantation for tissue engineering and biomedical applications.

We report a type of novel condensed dewdrops self-ejecting coating from sprayable paint, which was prepared by a self-assembly process of SiO2 nano-particles on hydroxylated carbon nano-tubes with subsequent chemical modification.

Porous microspheres, copolymers: bis [4(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropoxy)-phenysulfide (BES.DM) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) have been prepared by suspension-emulsion polymerization. The copolymer (BES.DM+GMA) including reactive epoxide rings was modified with three amines: butylenediamine (BDA), diethylenetriamine (DETA), triethylenetetramine (TETA). Next, attachment of HCO3- species to the primary amine groups took place.The prepared porous polymers were used as adsorbents in off-line SPE experiments. A mixture of phenol (PH), 2-chlorophenol (ChP), 2,4-dichlorophenol (DChP) and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TChP) as testing compounds was applied.Depending on the way of chemical modification, the prepared adsorbents possessed diverse sorption properties towards the testing compounds. Competition of the phenolic compounds for active sites presented on the polymer surface was observed. The most effective in water purification process were polymers possessing both amine and bicarbonate groups. The best recovery results were obtained for 2,4-dichlorophenol.
