Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been considered as an excellent adsorbent in environmental engineering, especially for treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The paper presents a new approach for the selective adsorption of Xylene isomers from air samples using nanomaterial based on oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes. In the first study, the functionalization of two oxidized MWCNTs was achieved with hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite. The characterization of functionalized CNTs (CNT-NaOCl, CNT-H2O2) was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-Ray diffractometer (XRD). Afterthat, the applications of pristine CNTs and oxidized CNTs for removal of three Xylene isomers from air samples were discussed. The results demonstrate that the correlation of CNTs and three isomers was significantly different with an affinity order o-Xylene > m-Xylene > p-Xylene. The oxidized CNTs with carbonyl groups increased significantly its adsorption capacity for these isomers. A comparison in term of adsorption performance shows that the framework distinguishes among these adsorbents due to the dispersive properties and the electrostatic interaction between the Xylene isomers and oxidized CNTs surface.

We have investigated the covalent conjugation of aminated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTNH2)s with Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (ORC) in order to enhance the hemostatic effect. The MWCNT-NH2s were prepared by functionalization of pristine MWCNTs (pMWCNTs) using amine groups. Neat ORC gauze and MWCNT-NH2s were reacted using glutamic acid as cross linking bridge. We investigated an amination of pMWCNTs as well as the dispersion of MWCNT-NH2s in the ORC gauze as matrix and their interfacial interactions by SEM and FT-IR. The results revealed that relatively strong interaction exists between aminated MWCNTs and the ORC macromolecules. The hydrophilicity test results in the significant increment of water uptake of MWCNT-NH2s/ORC composites with increasing the concentration of MWCNT-NH2s in composite. The in-vitro procoagulation test shows that the MWCNT-NH2s/ORC gauzes have significant procoagulant activity. The hemostatic evaluation of MWCNT-NH2s/ORC composites on rabbits shows that the aminated MWCNTs increase the rate of blood stopping and hence they decrease the blood loosing from injured sites. Hemostatic evaluation indicates that the MWCNT-NH2s/ORC gauze has a valuable hemostatic performance. The products of platelets release reaction, activated platelets glycoprotein and activated clotting enzymes were increased simultaneously. The mechanism of the hemostasis for MWCNT-NH2s/ORC gauze is discussed.

The Dopamine-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-Dopa) were synthesized by chemical reaction between dopamine (Dopa) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes which oxidazed by mixed-acid (MWNT-COOH). The structure of MWNT-Dopa were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric (TG), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques and the dispersity of MWNT-Dopa were studied by Dispersion stability analyzer. The results show that dopamine has been grafted on multiwalled carbon nanotubes successfully, and a dopamine layer which wraps on the surface of multiwalled nanotubes make multiwalled nanotubes have outstanding dispersity in water.
