Redox properties of LDH microcrystals coated with a catechol-bearing phosphonate derived from dopamine

Abstract

The surface of Zn–Al-chloride LDH microcrystals (LDH = Layered Double Hydroxides) was activated by grafting a redox active catechol bearing bis-phosphonate obtained by dopamine derivatization.

“…[19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Many varieties of metal nanocomposites can also be synthesized using different metals with varying compositions, synthetic preparation routes at different hydrodynamic diameter range (30-100 nm) and encompassing various applications. 17,20,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] Among all the classes of anionic clays, nanocomposites with magnesium and aluminum containing nanohybrids have potential drug delivery applications. 41 These clay materials could be useful to tackle diversied cell lines and helpful in targeted therapy for various tumor environments.…”

Toward the development of versatile functionalized carbon nanotubes

“…Apart from CNT, surface modication of graphene oxides, carbon nanoparticles, active black, magnetic nanoparticles, nanodiamonds, polystyrene and cellulose microbrillated membrane, LDH microcrystals have also reported recently for the strong and universal adhesion of PDA to various materials. [70][71][72][73][74][75][76] The novel methodology described in this work could also be applicative for graing polymers chains from other materials, which is of great signicance to produce other polymer nanocomposites.…”
