Binding and release mechanisms of the mycotoxins were addressed using an assortment of NDs modified by different surface treatments, including carboxylation, hydrogenation and hydroxylation, followed by isolating NDs of different sizes. Results indicate that AfB1 adsorption on NDs is directly related to aggregate size, whereas OTA adsorption is primarily centered upon electrostatic interactions that depend on the types of surface functional groups on the ND. Findings show that modified NDs with small aggregation sizes (~40 nm) have greater adsorption capacities for AfB1 than yeast cells walls and untreated NDs from various vendors, but comparable to activated charcoal. In OTA studies, positively charged NDs outperformed clay minerals, which are well-known and efficient sorbents for mycotoxins. Furthermore, ND adsorption capacities can be preserved in a wide range of pH.}, number={4}, journal={BIOINTERPHASES}, author={Gibson, N. M. and Luo, T. J. M. and Brenner, D.

The Fe–Zr catalysts enabled the growth of 1.7 mm-long carbon nanotube arrays in 45 min. A comparison with pure iron catalyst indicated that adding Zr to iron can stabilize the Fe catalyst at the CNT growth temperature and moderate its reactivity.

The research described in this paper illustrates the binding mechanisms of fluorescent dyes to ND surfaces as these interactions are extremely useful in many biomedical ND applications. A thorough study of binding and release mechanisms was completed using an assortment of carbon based nanoparticles, including NDs, onion-like carbon, and single-wall nanohorns. Surface charge interactions were studied in combination with surface areas, configurations, and modifications in order to determine which is responsible for the largest adsorption capacity and strongest binding. Adsorption studies were carried out using UV–Vis measurements followed by maximum binding capacity determination using the Langmuir isotherm and related transform equations. Langmuir and transform calculations further reveal the specific surface area covered by adsorbents for select nanocarbon materials. In addition, cyclic voltammetry measurements confirm that dye adsorbed onto NDs exhibits equal electrochemical properties as in its unbound state.}, number={2-3}, journal={DIAMOND AND RELATED MATERIALS}, author={Gibson, N.
