Sparse Supervised Classification Methods Predict and Characterize Nanomaterial Exposures: Independent Markers of MWCNT Exposures.

Toxicologic pathology
Recent experimental evidence indicates significant pulmonary toxicity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), such as inflammation, interstitial fibrosis, granuloma formation, and carcinogenicity. Although numerous studies explored the adverse pote...

Prediction of thermal conductivity of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) electrospun nanocomposite fibers using artificial neural network and prey-predator algorithm.

PloS one
In this study, multilayer perception neural network (MLPNN) was employed to predict thermal conductivity of PVP electrospun nanocomposite fibers with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Nickel Zinc ferrites [(Ni0.6Zn0.4) Fe2O4]. This is the sec...

Mesoporous carbon nanomaterials induced pulmonary surfactant inhibition, cytotoxicity, inflammation and lung fibrosis.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
Environmental exposure and health risk upon engineered nanomaterials are increasingly concerned. The family of mesoporous carbon nanomaterials (MCNs) is a rising star in nanotechnology for multidisciplinary research with versatile applications in ele...

Wet-Spun Biofiber for Torsional Artificial Muscles.

Soft robotics
The demands for new types of artificial muscles continue to grow and novel approaches are being enabled by the advent of new materials and novel fabrication strategies. Self-powered actuators have attracted significant attention due to their ability ...

Bio-inspired, Moisture-Powered Hybrid Carbon Nanotube Yarn Muscles.

Scientific reports
Hygromorph artificial muscles are attractive as self-powered actuators driven by moisture from the ambient environment. Previously reported hygromorph muscles have been largely limited to bending or torsional motions or as tensile actuators with low ...

Piezoresistive Tactile Sensor Discriminating Multidirectional Forces.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Flexible tactile sensors capable of detecting the magnitude and direction of the applied force together are of great interest for application in human-interactive robots, prosthetics, and bionic arms/feet. Human skin contains excellent tactile sensin...

Corrugated paraffin nanocomposite films as large stroke thermal actuators and self-activating thermal interfaces.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
High performance active materials are of rapidly growing interest for applications including soft robotics, microfluidic systems, and morphing composites. In particular, paraffin wax has been used to actuate miniature pumps, solenoid valves, and comp...

Robotic voltammetry with carbon nanotube-based sensors: a superb blend for convenient high-quality antimicrobial trace analysis.

International journal of nanomedicine
A new automated pharmacoanalytical technique for convenient quantification of redox-active antibiotics has been established by combining the benefits of a carbon nanotube (CNT) sensor modification with electrocatalytic activity for analyte detection ...

Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Probes for Protease Characterization Directly in Cell-Free Expression Reactions.

Analytical chemistry
Proteins can be rapidly prototyped with cell-free expression (CFE) but in most cases there is a lack of probes or assays to measure their function directly in the cell lysate, thereby limiting the throughput of these screens. Increased throughput is ...
