A multimode, dual functional nanomaterial, CNTs-Ag2S, comprised of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and silver sulfide (Ag2S) nanoparticles, was prepared through the facile hydrothermal process. Before deposition Ag2S hydrophobic CNTs were modified to become hydrophilic refluxing with a mixture concentrated nitric sulfuric acids. The oxidized employed deposit nanoparticles for their efficient immobiliza...

We report herein the design of a new visible-light epoxy-based alizarin photosensitizer (AE) iodonium salt (Iod) for cationic polymerization (CP) epoxidized eugenol monomers under irradiation. The combination AE and Iod demonstrates highly efficient photoinitiating properties air. As highlighted by fluorescence, laser flash photolysis (LFP) electron paramagnetic resonance spin-trapping (ESR ST)...

A new technique for the staining of the corneal endothelium combines the actions of the vital stain trypan blue and the intercellular stain alizarin red S. The technique is an improvement over former staining methods, because it defines both viable and nonviable cells and thereby permits an investigator to accurately quantify endothelial cell damage.
