In this study, non-irradiated and weathered multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) obtained through irradiation, were studied as adsorbents for BPA, both nanomaterials being characterized before and after the adsorption process. The objectives of our investigation were to compare the characteristics of non-irradiated and irradiated MWCNTs, to evaluate the adsorption capacity of BPA by pristine and irradiated MWCNTs and to determine the variation of the kinetic, sorption and thermodynamic parameters during sorption process using both sorbents.

The thermoelectric properties of flexible thin films fabricated from two commercial poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) formulations filled with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and nitrogen-doped MWCNT (N-MWCNT) were investigated. A simple spray-coating method for the fabrication of such flexible films on a polyethylene terephthalate substrate was developed. While increasing the MWCNT concentration had little effect on the thermoelectric properties, increasing the N-MWCNT concentration resulted in the emergence of an overall n-type semiconducting behavior and, thereby, tailoring the Seebeck coefficient of the composite films from p-type to n-type was shown. The Seebeck coefficient of the two PEDOT:PSS formulation films was inverted from 4.1 to −13.3 μV/K and from 12.5 to −10.9 μV/K respectively, with increasing N-MWCNT concentration from 0 to 95 wt.%. The importance of these results for future work stems from the possibility of tailoring the behavior of a typical p-type polymer such as PEDOT:PSS and the effect that the polymer conductive grade has on the switching concentration.

Abstract Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) offer immense opportunities to deliver drug and biomolecules to targeted tissues. However, it’s unclear for us about their effects on fat metabolism. Here, we demonstrate that nitrogen-doped carboxylate-functionalized MWCNTs (N-MWCNTs) inhibit fat deposition both in vivo and in vitro primarily by suppressing adipogenesis. N-MWCNTs show good biocompatability in HEK293 mammalian cells. Intramuscular administration of N-MWCNTs does not affect the body weight gain and feed intake of mice, but reduces the fat mass. In in vitro-cultured adipocytes, N-MWCNTs suppress fat accumulation, accompanying with decreased and increased expression of adipogenic and lipolysis genes, respectively. Transcriptome analysis further certified the N-MWCNT alteration of fat metabolism-related genes. Interestingly, we observed the phagocytosis of N-MWCNTs by macrophage-like cells via TEM imaging. The mRNA sequencing data also showed remarkable variation of the genes involved in TLRs pathway, ultimately leading to down- or up-regulation of inflammatory factors, of which Tnfα, Il1, Il7, Il10, and Il12 are decreased, whereas Il6 and Il11 are increased. In conclusion, N-MWCNTs induce the production of inflammatory cytokines through immune responses, which trigger the reduction of fat deposition. These findings support the usage of N-MWCNTs as a promising delivery for anti-obesity agents.
