High magnetic hematite a-Fe2O3 nanowires are successfully grown on Fe0.5Ni0.5 alloy substrates via an oxide assisted vapor-solid process. Experimental results also indicate that previous immersion of the substrates in a solution of oxalic acid causes the grown nanowires to convert gradually into magnetite （Fe3O4） nanowires. Additionally, the saturated state of Fe3O4 nanowires is achieved as the oxalic acid concentration reaches 0.75 mol/L. The average diameter and length of nanowires expands with an increasing operation temperature and the growth density of nanowires accumulates with an increasing gas flux in the vapor-solid process. The growth mechanism of a-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 nanowires is also discussed. The results demonstrate that the entire synthesis of nanowires can be completed within 2 h.展开更多

The pore structure, specific surface area, surface morphologies and functional groups of the CNTs were tested by N2 adsorption, scanning electron microscope （SEM） and infrared spectra （IR）. The investigation of dynamic adsorption, isothermal equilibrium adsorption and desorption of isoliquiritigenin and liquiritigenin to CNTs demonstrated that the adsorption amount on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes （o-MWCNTs） was greater than that on raw multi-walled carbon nanotubes （r-MWCNTs）, especially the adsorption of isoliquiritigenin to o-MWCNTs. The data of equilibrium adsorption were better represented by the Freundlich isotherm model. In addition, the adsorbed amount per unit CNTs was decreased when the temperature got higher. From the results of isothermal equilibrium adsorption and desorption to CNTs, it could be inferred that o-MWCNTs had higher adsorption to isoliquiritigenin and liquiritigenin than r-MWCNTs. Additionally, o-MWCNTs had a better desorption efficiency to isoliquiritigenin and liquiritigenin （about 48.57% and 32.86%） than r-MWCNTs （about 24.56% and 17.46%）.展开更多

The fast response to magnetic fields and optical properties of gold nanoparticle-based colloidal systems are the two main advantages of this new Fe@Au nanomaterial. These advantages allow for the use of this new colloidal nanomaterial for various purposes in proteomics and biomedicine, as proteins can bind to the surface, and the surface can also be funcfionalized. As proof-of-concept, the new Fe@Au nanoparticles have been assessed in biomarker discovery as a tool for pre-concentration and separation of proteins from complex proteomes. To this end, sera from healthy people were compared with sera from patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The application of this new Fe@Au nanomaterial combined with mass spectrometry has allowed for the identification of 53 proteins, and it has also shown that the heat shock protein HSP75 and the plasma protease C1 inhibitor are potential biomarkers for diagnostics and control of multilvle mveloma vro^ression.展开更多
