The competitive host-guest encapsulations of palmityl chloride-modified amphiphilic hyperbranched poly(amido-amine) (HPAMAM-PC) and poly(sulfone-amine) (HPSA-PC) to selected pairs of dyes are reported. Watersoluble and chloroform-insoluble dyes, such as methyl orange (MO), methyl blue (MB), rose bengal (RB), fluorescein sodium (FSS), eosin Y (EY) and phloxine B (PB), can be transferred from aqu...

Two different polymer systems have been studied in regards to their potential for functionalization to introduce new characteristics to the polymer. The first polymer system is a poly(arylene ether) with a truly pendant sulfone group from the monomer 3,5-difluorodiphenylsulfone. The work entails incorporating a bromine moiety onto the monomer for the versatile ability to bring in functional gro...

We present the synthesis and characterization of two aliphatic AB2 monomers derived from readily available 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid containing one alkyne group azide functionalities. The distance between polymerizable groups differs in by insertion an additional carbon atom structure that addresses steric demand during polymerization. synthetic procedure for is relatively simple sca...

The main practical method for fabricating fine optical structures involves mounting them on the surface of a substrate. Although there are other methods inside materials, none fabrication structures, particularly resonator structures. Thus, novel method, namely, infill printing in which structure is embedded nanoporous film, demonstrated to fabricate highly transparent film comprises nonspheric...

Prophylactic vaccines often exploit adjuvants to drive potent and directed immune responses. Small-molecule toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists are promising adjuvant candidates; however, the poor pharmacokinetics rapid distribution of these relatively hydrophilic small molecules results in systemic side effects that have limited their usage topical application. In this study, TLR7/8 covalently a...

Quantum dots (QDs) are nanometer-sized semiconductor particles with tunable fluorescent optical property that can be adjusted by their chemical composition, size, or shape. In the past 10 years, they have been demonstrated as a powerful fluorescence tool for biological and biomedical applications, such as diagnostics, biosensing and biolabeling. QDs with high fluorescence quantum yield and opti...
