A silica microparticle has been successfully employed as a nanoscaffold to self-organize porphyrin and C60 molecules on a nanostructured SnO2 electrode which exhibits efficient photocurrent generation.

Surveillance of viral pathogens in both point-of-care and clinical settings is imperative to preventing the widespread propagation disease—undetected outbreaks can pose dire health risks on a large scale. Thus, portable, accessible, reliable biosensors are necessary for proactive measures. Polymeric microparticles have recently gained popularity their size, surface area, versatility, which make...

Thorough understanding of the behaviour core–shell microparticles with a liquid core is essential for determining their performance in applications under different operation conditions. This paper reports particles thermal and mechanical loads. First, we formulated an analytical model heating process microparticle core. Next, utilised axisymmetric elastic spherical shell upon compression to des...

Taking advantages of excellent adhesion and insulating properties, polymer-based thermal interface materials have been widely used in electrical electronic industry. However, applications was limited due to the existence high interfacial resistance poor mechanical properties resulted from dispersion weak conductive fillers polymer matrix. Herein, different sizes aluminum oxide microparticle as ...

I report experimental and numerical studies of microparticle motion in a dusty plasma. These microparticles are negatively charged and are levitated in a plasma consisting of electrons, ions and neutral gas atoms. The microparticles repel each other, and are confined by the electric fields in the plasma. The neutral gas damps the microparticle motion, and also exerts random forces on them. I in...

Protein C inhibitor is a secreted, non-specific serine protease inhibitor with broad protease reactivity. It binds glycosaminoglycans and anionic phospholipids, which can modulate its activity. Anionic phospholipids, such as phosphatidylserine are normally localized to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane, but are exposed on activated and apoptotic cells and on plasma membrane-derived micro...
