[RSC Adv.] Dextran-based thermo-responsive hemoglobin–polymer conjugates with oxygen-carrying capacity
The potential toxicity towards human kidneys of hemoglobin (Hb), when used directly, has severely limited its application as a red blood cell substitute and in cancer treatments. In this work, a novel hemoglobin–polymer conjugate was prepared by a reaction between the lysine amino groups of Hb and the carboxyl groups of a copolymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted carboxylated dextran (HOOC...

(RSC Adv.) Magnetic amine-functionalized polyacrylic acid-nanomagnetite for hexavalent chromium removal from polluted water
A novel magnetic amine-functionalized polyacrylic acid-nanomagnetite (Fe3O4-PAA-NH2) adsorbent prepared using a facile surface-initiated polymerization (SIP) method has delivered a great Cr(VI) removal performance compared to as-received Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The maximum amine group (–NH2) concentration grafted onto Fe3O4-PAA is determined to be 3.925 mg g?1 based on acid–b...

(RSC Adv.) Looped Carbon Capturing and Environmental Remediation: Case Study of Magnetic Polypropylene Nanocomposites
A waste-free process to recycle Fe@Fe2O3/polypropylene (PP) polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) is introduced to synthesize magnetic carbon nanocomposites (MCNCs) and simultaneously produce useful chemical species which can be utilized as a feedstock in petrochemical industry. The magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) are found to have an effective catalytic activity on the pyrolysis of PP. The P...

[RSC Adv] Construction of superhydrophilic and under-water superoleophobic carbon-based membranes for water purification
Although the rapid development of membrane separation materials has provided a solution for the treatment of oil pollution, new membranes with functionality are also recommended for oil/water separation. Based on the micro-/nano-sized pore of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) membranes, polyacrylic acid (PAA) brushes were grafted via free radical polymerization, then silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were loade...

【RSC Adv】Enhanced catalytic degradation of 4-NP by superhydrophilic PVDF membrane decorated by Au nanoparticles
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes have been widely applied to treat wastewater, however, the removal of toxic aromatic phenolic compounds remains a technique challenge due to the serious adsorption fouling and difficult degradation. Herein, we aim to design a superhydrophilic PVDF membrane decorated by Au nanoparticles, which enhanced the rapid degradation of p-Nitrophenol (4-NP). The sup...

【RSC Adv】Tris Base Assisted Synthesis of Monodispersed Citrate-capped Gold Nanospheres with Tunable Size
We demonstrate a simple and effective method to obtain highly pure and monodispersed spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with a narrow size distribution (RSD ~ 4-7%) in aqueous medium. The synthetic strategy involves the addition of HAuCl4 in preheated sodium citrate (SC) solution followed by addition of tris base (TB) which simultaneously acts as stabilizer, mild reducing agent and pH-mediator. ...

2016-RSC Adv：Hybrid Nanocomposite Hydrogels with High Strength and Excellent Self-Recovery Performance
Polymer nanocomposite hydrogels (NC gels) have been intensively investigated for applications in academic and industrial fields. In the present work, hybrid cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAAm)/Laponite hydrogels were synthesized by in situ free radical polymerization using Laponite nanoplatetes and N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as physical and chemical crosslinkers, r...

【RSC Adv】Spatially-controlled growth of platinum on gold nanorods with tailoring plasmonic and catalytic properties
We describe the synthesis of bimetallic dendritic platinum decorated gold nanorods (AuNRs) by the spatial control of Pt growth over gold nanorods using a heterogeneous seed-mediated growth method. The amounts of the Au seed and Pt-precursor were changed to achieve a tunable volume fraction of Pt coverage on the Au NRs surface. Pt nanostructures were spatially separated from each other, which was h...

【RSC Adv.】Heterogemini surfactant assisted synthesis of monodisperse icosahedral gold nanocrystals and their applications in electrochemical biosensing
Icosahedral nanocatalysts (NCs) have shown very interesting physical and chemical properties owing to their multiply twinned nanostructures. Herein, we introduce a novel heterogemini surfactant (C10OhpNC8) assisted seed mediated growth approach for the synthesis of monodisperse icosahedral gold (Au) NCs in aqueous solution at room temperature. Very small shape impurities were observed in the resul...
