Multiphase microscale emulsions are a material platform that can be tuned and dynamically configured by variety of chemical physical phenomena, rendering them inexpensive broadly programmable optical transducers. Interface engineering underpins many these sensing schemes but typically focuses on manipulating single interface, while the multiphase junctions complex remains underexplored. Herein,...

Over the past several years, various fluorinated self-assembled monolayers (F-SAMs) on gold have been used to study the interfacial properties of fluorocarbon interfaces. This review focuses on the structures of selected F-SAMs and describes how the structures relate to various interfacial properties, such as wettability, friction, X-ray induced damage and ion-surface collisions. 2003 Elsevier ...

Full hemolytic activity in Newcastle disease virus (NDV) suspensions is not obtained without pretreatment of the virus by techniques such as freezing and thawing or extensive dialysis (Granoff and Henle, J. Immunol. 75:322, 1954). Girardi (Virology 9:488, 1959) has reported that fluorocarbon treatment unmasks polyoma virus hemagglutinin. Results are reported here which show that fluorocarbon tr...

PURPOSE One of the current challenges for the medical device industry is how to manufacture and assemble biomedical implants consisting of a metallic wire component and a fluorocarbon film without the use of an adhesive. In an attempt to answer this question, samples of Nitinol wire and fluorinated ethylene-propylene (FEP) film were surface modified by various treatments before being thermally ...

C6-Fluorocarbon-dendrimer has been applied to the cotton knit fabric develop oil–water repellent, separation, acid-resistant, self-cleaning, UV-resistant, and antibacterial properties. The C6-Fluorocarbon (FC)-dendrimer-coated 100% single jersey knitted samples were prepared using “pad-dry-cure” method. 90 g/L 100 FC-dendrimer-treated fabrics showed excellent water repellency separation as well...

Large amounts of water, synthetic dyestuffs and chemicals are used in the wet processes textile finishing, at end these processes, liquors containing chemical substances create a waste load. For this reason, it is great importance to develop new wet-finishing that use less chemicals. purpose, layer-by-layer deposition method (LbL) was research as an environmentally friendly, sustainable can be ...

This contribution reviews plasma polymer nanoparticles produced by gas aggregation cluster sources either via plasma polymerization of volatile monomers or via radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering of conventional polymers. The formation of hydrocarbon, fluorocarbon, silicon- and nitrogen-containing plasma polymer nanoparticles as well as core@shell nanoparticles based on plasma polymers is...
