Polyaniline nanofibers as a new gamma radiation stabilizer agent for PMMA

Spectroscopy of Polyaniline Nanofibers

Polyaniline nanofibers: a unique polymer nanostructure for versatile applications.

Known for more than 150 years, polyaniline is the oldest and potentially one of the most useful conducting polymers because of its facile synthesis, environmental stability, and simple acid/base doping/dedoping chemistry. Because a nanoform of this polymer could offer new properties or enhanced performance, nanostructured polyaniline has attracted a great deal of interest during the past few ye...

Electrochemical Synthesis of Polyaniline Nanoparticles and Nanofibers

The electrochemical deposition of polyaniline nanofibers and nanoparticles have been investigated on gold electrodes by cyclic voltammetry and their morphology by high resolution scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The type and dimensions of the nanostructures obtained depend on deposition conditions such as monomer concentration, scan rate and electrical potential. We hav...

Electrospinning polyaniline-contained gelatin nanofibers for tissue engineering applications.

Polyaniline (PANi), a conductive polymer, was blended with a natural protein, gelatin, and co-electrospun into nanofibers to investigate the potential application of such a blend as conductive scaffold for tissue engineering purposes. Electrospun PANi-contained gelatin fibers were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrical conductivity measurement, mechanical tensile tes...

A Survey on the Possibility of Utilizing gamma H2AX as a Biodosimeter in Radiation Workers

Introduction DNA damage is among the main consequences of radiation. Of many different classes of DNA damage, double-strand breaks are the most deleterious. Development of a sensitive biodosimetry method, which utilizes a detection material with a similar construction to the body, seems essential for monitoring radiation workers. In this study, histone H2AX protein was examined as a potential  ...
