Effect of functional groups at hole edges on cisplatin release from inside single-wall carbon nanohorns

Article Abstract:

Cisplatin is incorporated inside single-wall carbon nanohorns (NHs) and shown that 70% of the cisplatin is released from NHs having holes with hydrogen-terminated edges when they are immersed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The analysis has shown that the release of the material from inside NHs having holes with oxygen-containing functional groups at the hole edges (NHox) would be controlled by chemically modifying the functional groups attached to the hole edges of NHox, thereby enhancing the potential applicability of NHox to a material carrier.

Roles of laser light and heat in formation of single-wall carbon nanotubes by pulsed laser ablation of CxNiyCoy at high temperature

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze the roles of laser light and heat in the formation of single-wall carbon nanotubes by the pulsed laser ablation of CxNiYCoy targets using a Nd:YAG pulsed laser. Experimental results indicated that the laser-beam intensity influenced the carbon chemical structure at the target surface. In addition, the laser-beam intensity affected the quantity of carbon and metal dispersed from the target surface.
