Article Abstract
In the present research an attempt was made to develop and optimize rapamycin (Rapa) loaded hollow magnetic Fe3O4/graphene oxide (Fe3O4/GO) nanocomposites using solvent evaporation technique and response surface methodology (RSM). A Box-Behnken design (BBD) with a three-level, three-factor was used to determine preparation parameters that would achieve the highest encapsulation efficiency (EE) and drug loading capacity (DLC). At optimum conditions such as mass ratio of Rapa to Fe3O4/GO (Rapa: Fe3O4/GO) 0.45, oscillation rate 144.0, and volume ratio of water to solvent (W/S) 4.2, the EE and DLC of experimentally prepared particles reached 84.92 ± 5.50% and 28.68 ± 2.54% respectively. The morphological assessment results showed that hollow Fe3O4 nano-aggregates were evenly and tightly dispersed on the layer of GO membrane. After the addition of GO and encapsulation of Rapa, the Fe3O4/GO nanocomposites and Rapa loaded magnetic Fe3O4/GO (Fe3O4/GO-Rapa) nanocomposites showed saturation magnetization of 57.77 and 40.71 emu/g respectively. The drug releasing experiment indicated a slightly acidic atmosphere, which was suitable for Rapa releasing from the obtained Fe3O4/GO nanocomposites. The cell counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays demonstrated the hollow Fe3O4/GO nanocomposites could effectively improve the efficacy of Rapa in killing HepG2 cells, which displayed a concentration-dependent manner. All these results suggested the prepared Fe3O4/GO nanocomposites have a potential application in drug delivery system.

Article Synopsis
- - An interface modification layer is crucial for improving the efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs) by reducing recombination and enhancing contact between the active layer and electrode, particularly through the doping of the hole-transport layer (HTL) PEDOT:PSS.
- - The study introduces a FeO/GO magnetic nanocomposite as a secondary dopant for PEDOT:PSS, which enhances its electrical properties, allowing for higher power conversion efficiencies (up to 18.91%) and improved stability compared to standard PEDOT:PSS-based devices.
- - The hybrid HTL not only increases hole mobility and charge extraction but also demonstrates versatility in boosting OSC performance across various material combinations, highlighting the effectiveness of magnetic nanocomposites

The process of mechanically stirred membrane reactor containing the suspension of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) immobilized on synthesized nanocomposite (Tau-SiO@FeO-GO) was designed for continuous degradation of tetracycline. The immobilized HRP was characterized in terms of kinetic parameters and catalytic activities as these parameters were improved highly through immobilization. The stability indices including pH and temperature were investigated in parallel.

In this work, graphene oxide@Fe3O4 (GO@Fe3O4) two-dimensional magnetically oriented nanocomposites were prepared through the co-precipitation approach using graphene oxide as the carrier and FeCl3·6H2O and FeSO4·7H2O as iron sources. The samples were characterized and tested by X-ray diffraction, a transmission electron microscope, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, a vibrating-specimen magnetometer, a polarized optical microscope, an optical microscope, etc. The effects of material ratios and reaction conditions on the coating effects of Fe3O4 on the GO surface were investigated.

In the present study, a facile modified impregnation method was employed to synthesize superparamagnetic graphene oxide-Fe3O4 (GO-Fe3O4) nanocomposites. Based on the GO-Fe3O4 as adsorbent, a simple and fast magnetic-dispersive solid phase extraction followed by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (M-dSPE-HPLC-FL) method was established and validated for the preconcentration and determination of terazosin hydrochloride (TRZ) in human plasma samples. The obtained nanomaterials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry.
