Surface-modified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nano- Ce–Zr mixed oxides (CZO) were prepared and employed initially as supports of H3PW12O40 (HPW) for NO x adsorption–decomposition. Both CNTs and nano-CZO are favorable supports for HPW. After loading with HPW, the NO x adsorption efficiency increases, especially for HPW/CZO in which the highest adsorption efficiency can achieve 98% at the HPW loading of 70%, much higher than that of single HPW. NO x adsorption efficiency can be influenced considerably by catalyst preparing conditions, in particularly, ethyl alcohol is superior to water as solvent for HPW loading onto CNTs; the –OH containing CNTs shows better promotion effect on the adsorption of NO x than that containing –COOH when using absolute ethyl alcohol as solvent; mechanical grinding method is superior to incipient impregnation method in loading HPW onto the support of CZO. For both catalysts of HPW/CNTs and HPW/CZO, with the increase of HPW loading, the NO x adsorption efficiency tends to reach a peak value before dropping down. Heated from 150°C to 450°C at a rate of 50°C/min, the adsorbed NO was found to decompose into N2 , O2 and N2O , and yields of N2 being 21.8% and 27.3%, respectively for HPW/CNTs and HPW/CZO were obtained.

In this contribution, the preparation and characterization of new shape-memory epoxy based nanocomposites filled with modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes are reported. The study has been focused on the optimization of the preparation methodology and on the evaluation of the effect of different contents of surface modified carbon nanotubes on the properties and the microstructure of the obtained materials. In particular, dispersion test, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and bright field transmission electron microscopy have been carried out to analyze the modified filler. Moreover, the obtained nanocomposites have been characterized by morphological analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, thermomechanical analysis and X-ray analysis in order to clarify the effect of the nanofiller on the structure and shape memory properties of the materials.

Functionalized Mwcnts

Abstractl-asparaginase (ASNase, EC 3.5.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the l-asparagine hydrolysis into l-aspartic acid and ammonia, being mainly applied in pharmaceutical and food industries. However, some disadvantages are associated with its free form, such as the ASNase short half-life, which may be overcome by enzyme immobilization. In this work, the immobilization of ASNase by adsorption over pristine and modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was investigated, the latter corresponding to functionalized MWCNTs through a hydrothermal oxidation treatment. Different operating conditions, including pH, contact time and ASNase/MWCNT mass ratio, as well as the operational stability of the immobilized ASNase, were evaluated. For comparison purposes, data regarding the ASNase immobilization with pristine MWCNT was detailed. The characterization of the ASNase-MWCNT bioconjugate was addressed using different techniques, namely Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Raman spectroscopy. Functionalized MWCNTs showed promising results, with an immobilization yield and a relative recovered activity of commercial ASNase above 95% under the optimized adsorption conditions (pH 8, 60 min of contact and 1.5 × 10–3 g mL−1 of ASNase). The ASNase-MWCNT bioconjugate also showed improved enzyme operational stability (6 consecutive reaction cycles without activity loss), paving the way for its use in industrial processes.
