Bioinspired interface for nanobiodevices based on phospholipid polymer chemistry.

Peptide–Polymer Conjugates for Bioinspired Compatibilization of Internal Composite Interfaces: via Specific Interactions toward Stiffer and Tougher Materials

Molecular motion at soft and hard interfaces: from phospholipid bilayers to polymers and lubricants.

Spatially resolved and time-resolved understanding of complex fluid situations compose a new frontier in physical chemistry. Here we draw attention to the significance of spatially resolving systems whose ensemble average differs fundamentally from the spatially resolved individual elements. We take examples from the field of fluid phospholipid bilayers, to which macromolecules adsorb; the fiel...

Synthesis and application of chelating resins based on polyacrylonitrilediethylenetriamine for metal ions removal

Chelating resins based on polyacrylonitrile and diethylenetriamine (PAN-DTA) wereprepared through the simple reaction of polyacrylonitrile with various volume percents ofdiethylenetriamine (DTA), (25, 50, 75 and 100). The prepared resins were applied to removeheavy metal ions such as Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solutions. The sorptionbehaviors of the resins for these metal ions were ...

Polymer Stabilized Lipid Membranes: Langmuir Monolayers

Polymer-tethered membranes combine fascinating structural, dynamic, and viscoelastic properties. Many important insights into these peculiar supramolecular systems can be obtained from studies on polymer-tethered monolayers. This chapter discusses recent experimental findings on polymer-tethered monolayers at the air–water interface. In particular, Langmuir monolayers which are comprised of pur...

Fabrication of an Electrochemical Sensor Based on a New Nano-ion Imprinted Polymer for Highly Selective and Sensitive Determination of Molybdate

In this work a new chemically modified carbon paste electrode was constructed for accurate, simple, sensitive and selective determination of molybdenum (VI) ions. The results of modified electrode by an ion imprinted polymer were compared with those obtained with carbon paste electrode. The results showed the stripping peak currents had a dramatic increase at the modified electrode. Under the o...
