Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are novel materials with considerable potential in many areas related to nanomedicine. However, a major limitation in the development of CNT-based therapeutic nanomaterials is a lack of reliable and reproducible data describing their chemical and structural composition.

Previous studies have shown environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) form when chlorine- and hydroxy-substituted benzenes chemisorb on Cu(II)O-containing surfaces under postcombustion conditions. This paper reports the formation of EPFRs on silica particles containing 5% Fe(III)(2)O(3). The EPFRs are formed by

This study examined the catalytic oxidation of 1,2-dichlorobenzene on V(2)O(5)/TiO(2) nanoparticles. The V(2)O(5)/TiO(2) nanoparticles were synthesized by the thermal decomposition of vanadium oxytripropoxide and titanium tetraisopropoxide. The effects of the synthesis conditions, such as the synthesis temperature and precursor heating
