Fluorescent polyisoprene nanoparticles were synthesized by the miniemulsion technique as marker particles for cells. The uptake of the non-functionalized polyisoprene nanoparticles, without any transfection agents, into different adherent (HeLa) and also suspension (Jurkat) cell lines is strikingly efficient and fast…

In this paper we consider the following question: How much can we simplify molecular description without sacrificing too much quality of 3D-QSAR models. We compare the performance of the newly developed Simple Atom Mapping Following Alignment (SAMFA) descriptors with CoMFA using nine different data sets from the liter…

Abstract In this paper we present our results on growth, characterization, and nano‐devices based on ZnO nano‐structures. The ZnO nano‐structures were grown by mainly two methods, the catalytic Vapor Liquid Solid (VLS) and the low temperature chemical growth. We show that by multiple coating combined with low temperat…

PDMS surfaces have been modified to confer both resistance to non-specific protein adsorption and clot lyzing properties. The properties and chemical compositions of the surfaces have been investigated using water contact angle measurements, ATR FT-IR spectroscopy, and XPS. The ability of the PEG component to suppress…

In the present work a modified phenomenological model of the shape memory alloy (SMA) constitutive law is proposed that is capable of reproducing some aspects of SMA thermomechanical behavior like superelasticity and the one-way shape memory effect. The modified law uses strain and temperature as control variables, wh…

This paper evaluates a series of photolabile protecting groups with built-in fluorescence reporting. They rely on readily available o-acetoxyphenyl methyloxazolones as activated precursors. Alcohol substrates are easily caged. The resulting photoactivable esters exhibit large one- and two-photon uncaging cross section…

We have explored oxadiazole and thiophene modifications of the classic calamitic mesogens, p -quinquephenyl, p -sexiphenyl, and p -septiphenyl (P n, n = 5, 6, and 7). Replacing a phenyl ring with 2,5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole and 2,5-substituted thiophene introduces a bend, or kink, into the parent mesogens of 134…

Abstract PTFE samples were treated by low‐pressure O 2 RF plasmas. The adsorption of BSA was used as a probe for the protein‐resistant properties. Exposure of PTFE to an O 2 plasma leads to an increase in chamber pressure. OES reveals the presence of CO, CO 2 and F in the gas phase, indicating a strong etching of the…
