Recent work on non-conjugated pendant electroactive polymers (NCPEPs) has demonstrated significant impacts of structural parameters such as backbone stereoregularity and the spacer connecting to properties, most notably charge carrier mobilities. Tuning group however not been reported for stereoregular NCPEPs. Here we present a family novel isotactic poly((carbazolyl-alkyl-triazolyl)methyl meth...

Diblock copolymers of 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene (PFS) and butyl acrylate (BuA) were synthesized by nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP). By varying the conversion and/or BuA monomer to PPFS macro-initiator ratio, various molar compositions block copolymer BCP obtained. Due immiscibility both polymeric blocks, phase separation at nanometre scale occurred. The variety gave rise a large pane...

Functionalization of photocatalytic metal oxide nanoparticles TiO2, ZnO, WO3 and CuO with amine-terminated (oleylamine) thiol-terminated (1-dodecanethiol) alkyl chained ligands was studied under ambient conditions. A high selectivity observed in the binding specificity a ligand towards these different oxides. It that oleylamine binds stably to only TiO2 WO3, while 1-dodecanethiol ZnO CuO. Simil...

Here we report the synthesis and characterization of organosoluble perylene monolayer protected gold nanorods. From H NMR, FT-IR, and differential scanning calorimetry experiments, the successful thiol exchange and stacking of perylene molecules on gold nanorods were confirmed. The resulting gold nanorods encapsulated with perylene thiol molecules via strong covalent Au−S linkages showed unique...

choline oxidase (chox) was chosen as a model enzyme for evaluating the performance of cnts’ functional groups for development of enzyme electrodes. cnts were functionalized with carboxylic acid, amine or amide groups. carboxylic acid, amine and amide functionalized cnts were obtained by acid treatment, ethylenediamine or tetraethylenepentamine chemically modification and ammonia plasma treatmen...

A thiol-epoxy click chemistry reaction is used to introduce thiol groups on magnetic nanogels for the attachment of Au nanorods.

Aim: Testicular torsion which is the most common cause of acute scrotum, a real surgical emergency. However, despite imaging techniques and laboratory studies used in differential diagnosis pathologies causing difficult. Therefore, there need for parameters that confirm testicular torsion.In our study, we aimed to investigate usability as parameter scrotum inflammation children via thiol-disulf...

in this research, graphene was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd) method in atmosphere pressure (14.7 psi). different functionalization method was used for oxidizing of graphene such as acid and alkaline treatments. the functionalized graphene (fg) was characterized by ftir and raman spectroscopy. nanofluid with water and different concentration (0.05, 0.15 and 0.25 wt %) of fg were...

PURPOSE We investigated the ability of amyloid-β-targeting liposomes, decorated with an anti-transferrin receptor antibody, to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), comparing two antibody ligation techniques. METHODS Fluorescent or radiolabeled liposomes composed of sphingomyelin/cholesterol and containing phosphatidic acid, known to bind amyloid-β, were further functionalized with the anti-tr...
