Light-responsive Materials for Microfluidic Applications
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-03-07)
While the microfluidic device itself may be small, often the equipment required to control fluidics in thechip unit is large e.g. pumps, valves and mixing units, which can severely limit practical use and functionalscalability. ...
Photoswitchable Layer-by-layer Coatings Based on Photochromic Polynorbornenes Bearing Spiropyran Side Groups
(American Chemical Society, 2018-04-10)
Micro-capillaries, capable of light-regulated binding and qualitative detection of divalent metal ions in continuous flow, have been realised through functionalisation with spiropyran photochromic brush-type coatings. Upon ...
Micro-Capillary Coatings Based on Spiropyran Polymeric Brushes for Metal Ion Binding, Detection, and Release in Continuous Flow
(MDPI, 2018-04)
Micro-capillaries, capable of light-regulated binding and qualitative detection of divalent metal ions in continuous flow, have been realised through functionalisation with spiropyran photochromic brush-type coatings. Upon ...
Development, characterization and comparisons of targeted and non-targeted metabolomics methods
(Public Library Science, 2018-11-15)
The potential of a metabolomics method to detect statistically significant perturbations in the metabolome of an organism is enhanced by excellent analytical precision, unequivocal identification, and broad metabolomic ...
Driving Flows in Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices with a Cholinium Based Poly Ionic Liquid Hydrogel
(Elsevier, 2018-01-31)
Paper microfluidics technology requires effective handling and control of fluids, and this remains as asignificant obstacle for their accessibility by end-users, inhibiting their transition from the laboratory intothe ...
Testing Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluent Effects on Microbial and Detritivore Performance: a Combined Field and Laboratory Experiment
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
The amount of pollutants and nutrients entering rivers via point sources is increasing along with human population and activity. Although wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) greatly reduce pollutant loads into the environment, ...
AZO Embedded IDEs for Monitoring Stimuli Responsive Materials
(Wiley, 2018-11)
A combination of atomic layer deposition and photolithography is applied to fabricate interdigitated electrodes of aluminum-doped zinc oxide embedded in polyethylene terephthalate substrates. Various designs with different ...
Formulation Of Carbopol((R))/Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)s Mucoadhesive Tablets For Buccal Delivery Of Hydrocortisone
(MDPI, 2018-02-11)
Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) has become an excellent alternative to the use of poly(ethylene glycol) in pharmaceutical formulations due to its valuable physicochemical and biological properties. This work presents a formulation ...
FeCrAlloy Monoliths Coated with Ni/Al2O3 Applied to the Low-Temperature Production of Ethylene
(MDPI, 2018-07)
This paper investigates the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to produce ethylene at low temperatures (500 degrees C) in metallic structured substrates. To check this point, the FeCrAlloy (R) monoliths with different ...
Study Of The Soluble Salts Formation In A Recently Restored House Of Pompeii By In-Situ Raman Spectroscopy
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-01-25)
The walls and mural paintings of Pompeii exposed directly to the rainfalls are the most impacted in view of the observed decay. However, there are also wall paintings in protected rooms showing evidences of decaying. The ...
