“…Mokarian et al. [ 102 ] directly dispersed MWCNTs into n ‐hexane, and then added different proportions of liquid silicone rubber after ultrasonic treatment to prepare MWCNTs/silicone rubber suspension. Finally, the suspended solution was placed on a clean glass substrate and dried at room temperature for 24 h to obtain a superhydrophobic surface.…”

Silicone rubber materials have excellent comprehensive properties and are widely used in outdoor insulation, aerospace, and other fields. Due to its low surface energy and the appearance of biomimetic superhydrophobic materials, silicone rubber has become one of the popular materials in the field of superhydrophobicity. Superhydrophobic silicone rubber materials play an irreplaceable role in a wide range of applications such as long‐distance high‐voltage power transmission and high‐speed rail transportation. In this paper, research on superhydrophobic materials, including typical fabrication methods, is summarized to provide an overview of the up‐to‐date research state and progress in detail.

Colloidal inorganic nanoparticles have wide applications in the detection of analytes and in biological assays. A large number of these assays rely on the ability of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs, in the 20 nm diameter size range) to undergo a color change from red to blue upon aggregation. AuNP assays can be based on cross-linking, non-cross linking or unmodified charge-based aggregation. Nucleic acid-based probes, monoclonal antibodies, and molecular-affinity agents can be attached by covalent or non-covalent means. Surface plasmon resonance and SERS techniques can be utilized. Silver NPs also have attractive optical properties (higher extinction coefficient). Combinations of AuNPs and AgNPs in nanocomposites can have additional advantages. Magnetic NPs and ZnO, TiO and ZnS as well as insulator NPs including SiO can be employed in colorimetric assays, and some can act as peroxidase mimics in catalytic applications. This review covers the synthesis and stabilization of inorganic NPs and their diverse applications in colorimetric and optical assays for analytes related to environmental contamination (metal ions and pesticides), and for early diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, using medically important biomarkers.

“…Besides these surface modification methods, another approach is to fabricate a composite coating to enhance CNT superhydrophobicity and improve their properties. In this regard, Mokarian et al (2016) fabricated a superhydrophobic coating made of randomly laid down MWCNTs on a silicone rubber substrate, which was inert, non-toxic, and biocompatible. Their results indicated that a superhydrophobic surface with ultra-high water repellency and a contact angle of near 159° for deionized water droplets could be obtained using this composite coating.…”

Advanced nanomaterials such as carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) display unprecedented properties such as strength, electrical conductance, thermal stability, and intriguing optical properties. These properties of CNT allow construction of small microfluidic devices leading to miniaturization of analyses previously conducted on a laboratory bench. With dimensions of only millimeters to a few square centimeters, these devices are called lab-on-a-chip (LOC). A LOC device requires a multidisciplinary contribution from different fields and offers automation, portability, and high-throughput screening along with a significant reduction in reagent consumption. Today, CNT can play a vital role in many parts of a LOC such as membrane channels, sensors and channel walls. This review paper provides an overview of recent trends in the use of CNT in LOC devices and covers challenges and recent advances in the field. CNTs are also reviewed in terms of synthesis, integration techniques, functionalization and superhydrophobicity. In addition, the toxicity of these nanomaterials is reviewed as a major challenge and recent approaches addressing this issue are discussed.
