Nanowires: Synthesis and Energy/Environmental Applications

“…[74] The fireand high-temperature-resistant HAP NWs-based nanostructured materials with good mechanical properties, high-flexibility, and lowthermal conductivities have promising applications in various fields. [35,[75][76][77] For example, a flexible and high-strength HAP NWs-based fireresistant inorganic paper with low conductivities of 0.11 (at 25°C) and 0.14 W m À1 K À1 (at 600°C) was prepared using ultralong HAP NWs and glass fibers. [75] The experiments showed that without the protection of the fire-resistant inorganic paper, the temperature increased rapidly with heating time, and was 687°C after heating for 5 min.…”

“…Owing to these unique properties, HAP NWs have attracted considerable attention for applications in various fields such as biomedical, energy and environment, and many exciting results were reported since then. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Considering the increasing research interest and growing number of publications, it is desirable to provide a timely and systematic overview of recent advances in the studies on HAP NWs and their energy and environmental applications.In this review, we first provide a brief introduction to the synthesis of HAP NWs (Figure 1). Then the energy-related applications of HAP NWs, including the battery, solar energy-assisted water evaporation, light-driven self-propelled device, and thermal insulation are summarized.…”

Magnetic hydroxyapatite nanomaterial–cyclodextrin tethered polymer hybrids as anticancer drug carriers

“…This is difficult to overcome with surgical intervention or adjuvant radiotherapy. 3 The bone tissue carries the bone-forming cells, known as osteoblasts, abundantly within them and secrete Hydroxyapatite (HAp) for the construction of bone matrix. 3 Therefore, targeting osteoblasts through stereotactic techniques utilizing HAp is intriguing in the light of their uniqueness and ability to abrogate cancer growth and invasiveness.…”
