A review on nanomaterial-modified optical fiber sensors for gases, vapors and ions.

The mesmerizing properties of nanomaterials and the features offered by optical fibers can be combined to result in an attractive new platform for chemical sensing. This review (with 230 refs.) summarizes the progress made in the past five years in the field of fiber-optic sensors: The first group comprises metals and metal oxides and their composites, and the second group comprises graphene, graphene oxides and CNTs, and its composites.

Microneedles of chitosan-porous carbon nanocomposites: Stimuli (pH and electric field)-initiated drug delivery and toxicological studies.

An array of microneedles (MNs) of chitosan-graphene assembled in porous carbon (CS-GAPC) nanocomposites has been synthesized and evaluated. The safety of the formulated system has been ensured using detailed in vivo toxicological studies and efficacy has been ensured by evaluating the stimuli (pH and electric field) initiated drug delivery properties. Drug cephalexin has been incorporated in these MNs.

Sprayed zinc oxide films: Ultra-violet light-induced reversible surface wettability and platinum-sensitization-assisted improved liquefied petroleum gas response.

We report the rapid (superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic) transition property and improvement in the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sensing response of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods (NRs) on UV-irradiation and platinum (Pt) surface sensitization, respectively. The morphological evolution of ZnO NRs is evidenced from the field emission scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope digital images and for the structural elucidation X-ray diffraction pattern is used. Elemental survey mapping is obtained from energy dispersive X-ray analysis spectrum.

Characterization of biocompatible NiCo2O4 nanoparticles for applications in hyperthermia and drug delivery.

Unlabelled: Monodispersed, superparamagnetic nickel cobaltite (NCO) nanoparticles were functionalized using mercaptopropionic acid (MPA). MPA conjugates with NCO forming a metal-carboxylate linkage, with the MPA-MPA interaction occurring via formation of disulfide bonds, leaving another carboxyl end free for additional conjugation. The cytotoxicity studies on NCO-MPA show cell viability of ∼100% up to a dosage of 40 μg/mL on SiHa, MCF7, and B16F10 cell lines, and on mouse primary fibroblasts.
