The antimicrobial peptide KLKLLLLLKLK-NH2 was developed based on sapesin B, and synthesized using D-amino acids. Biochemical properties of the D-form and L-form KLKLLLLLKLK-NH2 peptides were compared. In order to limit the effects due to bacterial resistance to proteolysis, antimicrobial activities of the peptides were evaluated after short-term exposure to bacteria. D-form KLKLLLLLKLK-NH2 exhi...

Multi-functionalized and co-doped TiO2/C nanocomposites were derived from the pyrolysis of Ti-MOFs at 800 °C under different gaseous atmospheres their photocatalytic performance investigated. The atmosphere during plays a critical role in determining structural, textural, optical physicochemical properties composites due to synergistic effect nitrogen-containing species, carboxylate sulfur func...

The applications of supramolecular metal-peptide assemblies as catalyst or precursor have recent attracted increasing attentions. In this work, a fragment the amyloid β-peptide, NH2-KLVFF-COOH, was assembled into nanofilms with encapsulated Pd, Pt and Au nanoparticles (NPs) via one-step room temperature electron induction method. effects building block, intermolecular interaction, driving force...

A thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposite was synthesized based on Maghnite as an inorganic reinforcement phase. The result of this study to evaluate the gas barrier properties a material containing clay nanoparticles. preparation prepolymer with NCO terminations carried out using in situ solution polymerization method. has already been modified by intercalation 12-amino decanoic acid mo...

Titanium based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are interesting self-sacrificial precursors to derive semiconducting porous nanocomposites for highly efficient heterogeneous catalysis. However, there is a lack of systematic and in-depth mechanistic understanding the pyrolytic conversion MOF into desired functional composite materials. In this work, TGA-MS in situ STEM/EDX combined with other cha...

This report describes the fabrication of a novel microfluidics nanobiochip based on a composite comprising of nickel oxide nanoparticles (nNiO) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), as well as the chip's use in a biomedical application. This nanocomposite was integrated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels, which were constructed using the photolithographic technique. A structura...

The magnetic aqueous micellar two-phase system (MAMTPS) has the advantages combined of magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) and aqueous micellar two-phase system (AMTPS). Thus, MAMTPS based on Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and a nonionic surfactant Triton X-114 (TX-114) was developed for the extraction, enrichment and removal of three dyes (Congo red, methyl blue, and methyl violet) fro...
