متن کاملNano-Scale Characterization of a Piezoelectric Polymer (Polyvinylidene Difluoride, PVDF)
The polymer polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) has unique piezoelectric properties favorable for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS) applications. In the present research, we conducted nanometer-length scale characterization of this material using several high-resolution techniques. Specifically, we used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to study the ...
متن کاملMicron-Sized Pored Membranes Based on Polyvinylidene Difluoride Hexafluoropropylene Prepared by Phase Inversion Techniques
In this study, micron-sized pored membranes, based on the co-polymer polyvinylidene difluoride hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP) were prepared via phase inversion techniques. The aim of the approach was to find less harmful and less toxic solvents to fabricate such films. Therefore, the Hansen solubility approach was used to identify safer and less toxic organic solvents for the phase inversion pr...
متن کاملSimple Method for Detecting Glycoproteins Dot-blotted or Electro-blotted on to a Polyvinylidene Difluoride Membrane.
A simple method is described for detecting glycoproteins which had been dot-blotted or electro-blotted on to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane after sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This method is based on the periodate oxidation of glycoproteins on a PVDF membrane with subsequent staining by the chromophoric hydrazide, 4-N,N-dimethylamino-4'-azobenzene...
متن کاملWideband optical detector of ultrasound for medical imaging applications.
Optical sensors of ultrasound are a promising alternative to piezoelectric techniques, as has been recently demonstrated in the field of optoacoustic imaging. In medical applications, one of the major limitations of optical sensing technology is its susceptibility to environmental conditions, e.g. changes in pressure and temperature, which may saturate the detection. Additionally, the clinical ...
