High-density carbon nanotube (CNT)-coated surfaces are highly neuro-adhesive. When shaped into regular arrays of isolated islands on a non-adhesive support substrate (such as a clean glass), CNTs can function as effective encoring sites for neurons and glia cells for in-vitro applications. Primarily, patterned CNT islands provide a means to form complex, engineered, interconnected neuronal networks with pre-designed geometry via utilizing the self-assembly process of neurons. Depositing these CNT islands onto multielectrode array chip can facilitate both cell anchoring but also electrical interfacing between the electrodes and the neurons.

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a severe threat to human and animal health; thus, monitoring it in the environment is essential, especially in water quality protections. Herein, in this work, we synthesize PVDF/CNT/Ag molecular imprinted membranes (PCA-MIMs) via an innovative combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection, membrane separation, and molecular-imprinted technique toward the analysis of MC-LR in water. In particular, a light-initiated imprint is employed to protect the chemical structure of the MC-LR molecules.

A twin-screw extruder was used to fabricate poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blends (7:3 weight ratio) and blend-based nanocomposites. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), and organoclays (15A and 30B) served as the nanofiller, while maleated HDPE (PEgMA) acted as an efficient compatibilizer for the blend. In the composites, individual nanofillers were mostly localized in HDPE domains, but some fillers were also observed at PBS-HDPE interfaces.

With chronic ocular diseases such as glaucoma and dry eye syndrome, patients have to apply eye drops over the long term. The therapeutic effects of eye drops depend on the amount of drug contained and the stability of the solution. In addition, contamination during usage and transport can also negatively affect the quality and efficacy of eye drops.

Article Synopsis
- Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are important for applications requiring high current density and brightness, and they were created using sputter coating and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition.
- Scanning electron microscopy helps analyze the CNTs' structure, which has an average height of 40 µm, while field emission microscopy is used to examine how the electron beam behaves under different voltage and exposure time conditions.
- The microchannel plate (MCP) boosts the field emission current and protects the CNTs from damage, enabling measurement of a high-density electron beam spot with low dispersion, making it useful for advanced imaging technologies like multi-beam electron microscopy and X-ray imaging.
