In this study, we developed fluorescent dual pH and oxygen sensors loaded in multi-well plates for in-situ and high-throughput monitoring of oxygen respiration and extracellular acidification during microbial cell growth for understanding metabolism. Biocompatible PHEMA-co-PAM materials were used as the hydrogel matrix. A polymerizable oxygen probe (OS2) derived from PtTFPP and a polymerizable ...

This article will highlight our recent work using conjugated oligomers as precursors to electroactive polymer films and self-assembling nanomaterials. One area of investigation has focused on nonbenzenoid aromaticity in the context of charge delocalization in conjugated polymers. In these studies, polymerizable pi-conjugated units were coupled onto unusual aromatic cores such as methano[10]annu...

This review aims at making the state of the art of the radical polymerizations of glycerol-based monomers, especially (meth)acrylate and vinylic/allylic derivatives. Acrylate and methacrylate derivatives bearing numerous secondary groups like ester, cyclocarbonate, acetal and urethane were involved in free radical polymerization and radical controlled polymerizations as well as in the photopoly...

We herein report a universal calibration curve for the UV-visible spectrophotometric determination of concentration polymerizable dyes in solution. The method has been successfully applied to construct methylene blue water that is applicable over wide range and chloride concentrations, regardless both aggregate distribution temperature. In addition, it was found molar fractions each species sol...

To understand the charge transport ability of the metal coordinated cyclobutadiene, a series of cyclobutadiene cobalt cyclopentadiene (CbCoCp) omplexes containing electrochemically polymerizable thiophene units were synthesized. The complexes were electrochemically polymerized nd the resulting polymers were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, in situ conductivity and UV–vis spectroelectrochemi...
