In the search for functional organic biomaterials, leather constituted by collagen fibers was coated with a conducting polymer, polypyrrole. The coating carried out during oxidation of pyrrole in an aqueous solution poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) presence five dyes: crystal violet, neutral red, methyl orange, acriflavine, and methylene blue. This technique ensures uniform polypyrrole incorporation dy...

A tissue-equivalent three-dimensional dosimeter is being developed to verify dose distributions for radiotherapy. Recently, we have reported a nanocomposite fluorescent gel (NC-RFG) that enables readout by the fluorometry, which more sensitive than absorption method in principle. However, irradiating an excitation light information also produces dyes and not negligible low-dose irradiation rang...

1. Introduction The formation of miscible mixtures of two chemically dissimilar polymers is in general unfavourable. For many materials a single phase is never formed, while for others, the miscible state is only obtained at low temperatures. The classic description of the interaction between two polymers is via the Flory-Huggins theory (for example see [l]) in which x, the interaction paramete...

Abstract The emergence of topological insulators (TIs) raised high expectations for their application in quantum computers and spintronics. Being bulk semiconductors, nontrivial topology at the electronic bandgap enables dissipation-free charge spin transport protected metallic surface states. For application, crystalline thin films are requested sufficient quantity. A suitable approach is liqu...

Novel water-swollen photo-crosslinked membranes were obtained by copolymerization of the N-vinylpyrrolidone, butyl acrylate and ethyl methacrylate monomers functionalized with naphthalimide groups, as pH sensitive fluorescence probes. For that purpose, two pending groups anchored to through alkyl chains different length, previously synthesized. The characterized using techniques. dependence abs...

nicr2o4 normal spinel nanostructures were prepared via hydrothermal treatment at 180 °c for 12 h in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab), sodium dodecyl sulphate (sds) and poly vinylpyrrolidone-25000 (pvp-25000) as capping agents and subsequent calcination process at 500 °c for 3 h . in this method, [ni(en)2(h2o)2](no3)2 and [cr(en)3]cl3.3h2o used as precursors and not utilized...
