A Guided Materials Screening Approach for Developing Quantitative Sol-gel Derived Protein Microarrays

Characterization of Sol-gel Derived Material Microarrays Surface Characterization and Comparison of Contact vs. Non-contact Printed Sol-gel Derived Material Microarrays

Protein micropatterning on bifunctional organic-inorganic sol-gel hybrid materials.

Active protein micropatterns and microarrays made by selective localization are popular candidates for medical diagnostics, such as biosensors, bioMEMS, and basic protein studies. In this paper, we present a simple fabrication process of thick (approximately 20 microm) protein micropatterning using capillary force lithography with bifunctional sol-gel hybrid materials. Because bifunctional sol-...

Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity of Sol-Gel Derived Coral-like TiO2 Nanostructured Thin Film

To enhance photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, coral-like TiO2 nanostructured thin films were chemically synthesized through the sol-gel method. The fabricated thin films were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), nitrogen sorption isotherms, mercury porosimetry measurements, and UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectrum (DRS). The ...

Effects of MWCNTs Dispersion on the Microstructure of Sol-Gel Derived Hydroxyapatite

Stable homogeneous dispersions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared using ethanol as dispersing agent. Then, using sol-gel method, dispersion in the hydroxyapatite matrix and its effects on the microstructure were investigated. The phase composition, chemical structure and morphological and size analyses were performed using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM/SAED/EDX and Raman spectroscopy. The influenc...

Organic Thin Film Transistors with Polyvinylpyrrolidone / Nickel Oxide Sol-Gel Derived Nanocomposite Insulator

Polyvinylpyrrolidone  /  Nickel  oxide  (PVP/NiO)  dielectrics  were fabricated  with  sol-gel  method  using  0.2  g  of  PVP  at  different working  temperatures  of  80,  150  and  200  ºC.  Structural  properties and surface morphology of the hybrid films were investigated by X- Ray  diffraction  (XRD)  and  Scanning  Electron Microscope  (SEM) respectively. Energy dispersive X-ray spec...
