The comparative analysis of reinforcement efficiency (modulus of elasticity enhancement) of polymers with carbon nanotubes and grapheme was performed using the methods of fractal analysis and percolation theory. It has been shown that such comparison is correct only at the same structure of the indicated anisotropic nanofillers in polymer matrix. For carbon nanotubes reinforcement efficiency depends strongly on their geometry, i.e. length and outer diameter. In addition the main role in polymers reinforcement play not initial characteristics of nanofiller, but its structures, obtained in production process of nanocomposites. In technological aspect carbon nanotubes are more suitable for manufacture of high-modulus nanocomposites, that is due to possibility of simple enough realization of their orientation.

A simple, sensitive and time-saving differential-pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetric (DPAdSV) procedure using a screen-printed carbon electrode modified with carboxyl functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (SPCE/MWCNTs-COOH) for the determination of diclofenac (DF) is presented. The sensor was characterized using optical profilometry, SEM, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The use of carboxyl functionalized MWCNTs as a SPCE modifier improved the electron transfer process and the active surface area of sensor. Under optimum conditions, very sensitive results were obtained with a linear range of 0.1–10.0 nmol L−1 and a limit of detection value of 0.028 nmol L−1. The SPCE/MWCNTs-COOH also exhibited satisfactory repeatability, reproducibility, and selectivity towards potential interferences. Moreover, for the first time, the electrochemical sensor allows determining the real concentrations of DF in environmental water samples without sample pretreatment steps.

A simple, efficient and reliable analytical method was developed and used for the determination of the fluvoxamine drug (FLV) in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids. The method is based on the cost-effective screen-printed platform for the potential transduction of the drug. Host-tailored molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) was integrated with the potentiometric platform as a recognition receptor, in which FLV, acrylamide (AAm), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and acetonitrile were used as a template, functional monomer, cross-linker, and solvent, respectively. MIP particles were dispersed in plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) and the membrane was drop-casted on carbon screen-printed electrode. The MIP, in addition to non-imprinted polymers (NIP), was characterized and the binding experiment revealed high affinity and adsorption capacity of MIP towards FLV. The proposed sensor displayed near-Nernstian cationic slope of 55.0 ± 0.8 mV/decade (r2 = 0.999) with a low detection limit of 4.8 × 10−6 mol/L over a wide pH range (3.0–8.5). The electrochemical features of the proposed sensors including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and chronopotentiometry measurements (CP) in the presence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a solid contact transducer were also investigated. The applications of the proposed sensor for the determination of FLV in different dosage forms with recovery values (98.8%–101.9%) and (97.4%–101.1%), respectively compared with the reference HPLC method with acceptedFandt-student tests values at the 95% confidence level.
