The aim of this work was to evaluate the cellular response to titanium nanotube arrays with variable crystalline structure. Cytotoxicity, viability and the ability of the titania nanotube arrays to stimulate adhesion and proliferation of adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) was evaluated. Titania nanotube arrays were fabricated by electrochemical anodization of titanium in diethyleneglycol/hydrofluoric acid electrolyte at 60 V for 6 h, then annealed at 300, 530 and 630 °C for 5 h. The nanotube arrays were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle goniometry, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and protein adsorption. ADSCs were cultured on titania nanotube arrays at a density of 1 × 10 cells/ml. The cells were allowed to adhere and to proliferate for 1, 4 and 7 days. Cell viability was characterized by the CellTiter-Blue® Cell Viability Assay; and cell morphology was characterized by SEM. Cell adhesion, proliferation and morphology were characterized using fluorescence microscopy by staining the cells with DAPI and rhodamine/phalloidin. The results from this study showed that the annealing at 300 and 530 °C formed anatase phase, and annealing at 630 °C formed anatase/rutile phase. The results indicated that the modification of the crystalline structure (i.e. anatase/rutile phase) of titania nanotube arrays influenced the ADSC adhesion and proliferation. Future studies are now directed towards evaluating differentiation of this cellular model in osteoblasts.

The exogenous bacterial infection and formation of biofilm on the surface of titanium implants can affect the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of cells associated with osteogenesis, ultimately leading to surgical failure. This study focuses on two critical stages for biofilm formation: i) bacterial adhesion and aggregation, ii) growth and proliferation. The titanium with well-organized titania nanotube arrays is first modified by nitrogen dopants, then loaded with CuFeSe nanoparticles to form a p-n heterojunction.

A new series of metal-organic nanotubes was constructed through one-dimensional assembly using molecular triangles or molecular squares composed of paddlewheel dirhodium complexes and bidentate axial ligands. The metal-organic nanotubes were significantly different from conventional solid metal-organic framework (MOF) motifs. They exhibit good solubility owing to the branched side chains at their periphery and demonstrate high orientation capabilities in thin films owing to their anisotropic structure.

Natural building blocks like chitins for self-assembling into complex materials have garnered significant interest owing to the inherent and diverse functionalities. However, challenges persist in the assembly of chitin-based composites, primarily stemming from chitin's poor solubility and compatibility. Herein, a quercetin-mediated multiple crosslinking strategy was developed to enhance compatibility by quercetin-mediated interfacial interactions between chitin and inorganic materials, achieving a series of chitin-based composite hydrogels with high performances.

The high overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the strong corrosion of the anode are the main problems currently faced by the zinc hydrometallurgical process. This study achieved the successful synthesis of titanium dioxide nanotubes doped by Al and V on a TC4 alloy. Subsequently, a composite electrode, TC4/AVTN-7/PbO-ZrO-CoO, was prepared utilizing composite electrodeposition.

The increasing use of nanocomposites has raised concerns about the potential environmental impacts, which are less understood than those observed with individual nanomaterials. The purpose of this study was to investigate the toxicity of nanosilver carbon-walled nanotube (AgNP-CWNT) composites in . The lethal and sublethal toxicity was determined based on the characteristic morphological changes (retraction/loss of tentacles and body disintegration) for this organism.
