The invention is directed to chelating agent modified graphene oxides having the following formula G(AB); wherein G is graphene oxide, A is selected from the group consisting of &#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;, &#x2014;NH&#x2014;, &#x2014;S&#x2014;, &#x2014;O&#x2014;S(&#x2014;OR)(&#x2014;CH)&#x2014;, &#x2014;C(&#x2550;O)&#x2014;, &#x2014;C(&#x2550;O)&#x2014;O&#x2014;, &#x2014;C(&#x2550;O)&#x2014;O(CH)&#x2014;, &#x2014;C(&#x2550;O)&#x2014;NH&#x2014;, &#x2014;C(&#x2550;O)&#x2014;NH&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;, &#x2014;P(&#x2550;O)&#x2014;O&#x2014;, wherein m is 1-12 and Ris H, or C-Calkyl; and B is a chelating moiety; wherein the ratio of basic graphene oxide units:x is from about 1:0.00001 to about 1:0.5. Such chelating modified graphene oxides have broad applications in diverse technical fields.

Chelating agent modified graphene oxides, methods of preparation and use

A method is provided for decontaminating a surface that is susceptible to contamination by a contaminant by applying to the surface a coating which produces a decontaminating agent for the contaminant in response to a signal, connecting the electroactive coating to a source of a signal, and when the surface is contaminated, applying the signal to the electroactive coating, thereby producing one or more decontaminating agents which neutralize or destroy the contaminant. Coatings for practicing the method and articles that have been protected by the novel coatings are also provided.

Signal activated decontaminating coating

An electroactivated film that includes: a first electrode that is spaced apart from a second electrode, a water insoluble electrically conductive medium which is permeable to moisture and oxygen and which contacts both electrodes, an electrocatalyst which can be reversibly oxidized and reduced and which facilitates the production of a peroxide when an electrical potential is imposed across the electrodes, and optionally a peroxide-activating catalyst which converts the peroxide to an activated peroxide, wherein one or both electrodes have electrocatalyst immobilized thereupon.

Electroactivated film with electrocatalyst-enhanced carbon electrode

A method of forming DNA nanotubes composed entirely or predominantly from DNA that, The methods of the present invention form single layer or multilayer template-synthesized nanotubes where the bulk of the tube is composed of DNA, and the layers are held together by hybridization of complementary DNA strands. The DNA molecules making up these tubes may be varied as desired, and the DNA is capable of being released from the tube.

Template-synthesized DNA nanotubes

An electroactivated film and methods for its production are described, where the film includes a first electrode that is spaced apart from a second electrode, a water insoluble electrically conductive medium which is permeable to moisture and oxygen, which comprises a water insoluble polymer gel containing an ionic liquid, and which contacts both electrodes, an electrocatalyst which can be reversibly oxidized and reduced and which facilitates the production of a peroxide when an electrical potential is imposed across the electrodes, and optionally a peroxide-activating catalyst which converts the peroxide to an activated peroxide.
