Thorough studies of protein interactions with stimulus responsive polymers are necessary to provide a better understanding of their applications in biosensors and biomaterials. In this study, protein behavior on a thermoresponsive polymer surface, plasma polymerized N-isopropyl acrylamide (ppNIPAM), is investigated us…
ABSTRACT The feasibility of using cranberry pomace extract as a new film‐forming material was studied. Cranberry pomaces were extracted using hot water. Low methoxyl pectin (LMP) or high methoxyl pectin (HMP) at a concentration of 0.50% or 0.75% (w/w) and 0.25% (w/w) sorbitol or glycerol was incorporated into film‐for…
A new oxide, BiInO 3, was prepared using a high-pressure high-temperature technique at 6 GPa and 1273 K. BiInO 3 has the GdFeO 3 -type perovskite structure, but crystallizes in the polar space group Pna 2 1 . Structure parameters of BiInO 3 were refined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data ( Z = 4; a = 5.9546…
State-of-the-art tissue engineered heart valves are not strong enough to withstand aortic blood pressure levels. When a strong and slowly degrading scaffold is used, the starting position of valvular tissue engineering is a stronger valve and seeded cells are allowed more time to create a strong extracellular matrix.…
The ability of Chromohalobacter marismortui to precipitate carbonate and phosphate minerals has been demonstrated for the first time. Mineral precipitation in both solid and liquid media at different salts concentrations and different magnesium/calcium ratios occurred whereas crystal formation was not observed in the…
[reaction: see text] A facile synthetic route has been developed to convert an electron-rich, sterically hindered dialkylaminodienone into a conjugated dialkylaminotrienal with good yield. The derived dialkylaminotetraene-type nonlinear optical chromophores possess an all-trans conformation and can be functionalized w…
Persulfurated arenes have been known for about 50 years but they were underexploited in chemistry in spite of facile, mild, and high-yielding syntheses. Their properties (redox potentials, UV/Vis absorption, conductivity, nonlinear optical properties, etc.) are mainly due to the aromaticity of the ring with sp2-hybrid…
Purpose To evaluate the effect of natural rosemary oil as non toxic inhibitor on the corrosion of steel in H 3 PO 4 media at various temperatures. Design/methodology/approach The oil was hydro‐distilled. The oil was used as inhibitor in various corrosion tests. Gravimetric and electrochemical techniques were used to c…
This study demonstrated that engineered polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthases can be employed as molecular tools to covalently immobilize enzymes at the PHA granule surface. The beta-galactosidase was fused to the N terminus of the class II PHA synthase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The open reading frame was confirmed…
This contribution is focused on applications of spectroscopic methods for the precise control of deposition processes. Besides a monochromator system with a moving grating for the deep ultraviolet/vacuum ultraviolet (DUV/VUV) spectral range, two approaches are presented for online spectrophotometers with CCD arrays. T…
Purpose To appraise the inhibiting effect of Ocimum basilicum extract on aluminium corrosion in 2 M HCl and 2 M KOH solutions, respectively, at 30 and 60°C. Design/methodology/approach Corrosion rates were determined using the gas‐volumetric technique and the values obtained in absence and presence of extract was used…
ABSTRACT The effect of moisture sorption on stability of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films at food‐packaging conditions, obtained by different humidities (11% to 98% RH) and temperatures (5 °C and 25 °C), was investigated by decrease in number average molecular weight ( M n ) and loss of tensile strength. Hydrolysis of th…
We report the preparation and investigation of charged colloidal Co2+:ZnO and Mn2+:ZnO nanocrystals. Although both charged and magnetically doped colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have been reported previously, colloidal charged and magnetically doped semiconductor nanocrystals as described herein have not. Conduct…
Bent-shaped molecules based on the oxadiazole central core with various side wings and terminal chain groups have been synthesized, and their liquid-crystalline behavior was investigated by optical microscopic, X-ray, and electrooptic measurements. These molecules exhibit liquid-crystal polymorphism including both the…
The present work focuses on the topochemical photoconversion process in which alpha-trans-cinnamic acid becomes alpha-truxillic acid. This solid-state [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction has previously been studied with X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and vibrational spectroscopy. However structural and kinetic…
Retaining large surface areas in alumina powders during high-temperature annealing is a major challenge in applications as catalyst supports and ceramic precursors. This is because the alumina surface area drastically decreases with transformation from the γ modification (defect spinel structure) into the α modificati…
ABSTRACT Konjac glucomannan (KGM)‐edible films were prepared with different amounts of glycerol or sorbitol as a plasticizer. Films were characterized by moisture sorption isotherm, and following conditioning at different relative humidities, by differential scanning calorimetry and tensile tests. Moisture and polyols…
The synthesis of multichromophoric perylene bisimide-calix[4]arene arrays with up to five perylene units (containing orange, violet, and green perylene bisimide chromophores) and of monochromophoric model compounds was achieved by subsequent imidization of mono-Boc functionalized calix[4]arene linkers with three diffe…
The second hyperpolarizabilities of bisimidazole- and bistriazole-benzene compounds have been calculated at different levels of approximation to unravel the effects of diradical character as well as of charge and spin multiplicity. The largest second hyperpolarizabilities are associated with intermediate diradical cha…
The existence of a metastable state with limited Coulomb-blocked aggregation at the onset of instability in a colloidal solution is proposed and demonstrated both experimentally and theoretically (through Monte Carlo simulations). Such a stable state of small clusters of metallic colloids happens to be extremely impor…
