Abstract The authors present here a facile electrochemical approach to synthesize Poly(Aniline) nanofibriller matrix on ITO coated PET substrate for development of wearable or embeddable sensors. Electrochemical parameters were optimized even diametric synthesis and controlled length Poly (Aniline)) nanofibers. A three – step chrono potentiometric deposition was found be efficient the matrix. P...

Tightly bonding of bioactive coating is the first crucial need for orthopaedic implants. This study describes a novel and convenient technique to prepare bioactive coating with high adhesion on orthopaedic substitutes made of polymeric matrix. Here, a chemical corrosion method has been adopted to fabricate a coating on the surface of injection-moulded polyamide66 (PA66) substrates by corrosive ...

Formation of bacterial colonies as biofilm on the surface/interface of various objects has the potential to impact not only human health and disease but also energy and environmental considerations. Biofilms can be regarded as soft materials, and comprehension of their shear response to external forces is a key element to the fundamental understanding. A mesoscale model has been presented in th...

The lack of a crucial metabolic enzyme can lead to accumulating substrate concentrations in the bloodstream and severe human enzyme deficiency diseases. Mitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is such a fatal genetic disorder, caused by a thymidine phosphorylase deficiency. Enzyme replacement therapy is a strategy where the deficient enzyme is administered intravenously in...

A promising strategy for the controlled synthesis of inorganic/polymeric nanocomposites may be sustained by fabricating cross-linked PbS nanoparticles/polymer composite thin films through combining surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and gas/solid reaction. The introduction of Pb ions through the extension of surface-initiated ATRP to the monomers containing metal ions...

Quick and simple methods to detect the type of life threatening microbial species are very essenti al in food and water contaminated with bacteria. Recently, by utili zi ng the semiconducting polymeric thin films prepared on si licon macroporous substrates a new technology for detection of micro-organisms has been developed. The advantages of the polymeric devices are the ease of fabrication , ...
