A label-free electrochemiluminescence biosensor using carbon nano-horns and nafion nanocomposite-modified nanofiber printed sensor for the detection of porcine gelatin.

A possibility of the creation of potentiometric biosensor by adsorption of enzyme urease on zeolite was investigated. Several variants of zeolites (nano beta, calcinated nano beta, silicalite, and nano L) were chosen for experiments. The surface of pH-sensitive field-effect transistors was modified with particles of zeolites, and then the enzyme was adsorbed. As a control, we used the method of...

Chitin (β-(1-4)-poly-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) is widely distributed in nature and is the second most abundant polysaccharide after cellulose. It is often converted to its more deacetylated derivative, chitosan. Previously, many reports have indicated the accelerating effects of chitin, chitosan, and its derivatives on wound healing. More recently, chemically modified or nano-fibrous chitin and c...

In order to explore the modification effect of carbonization time on nano-MgO-modified cement soil, unconfined compressive strength tests soil with times 0 h, 6 1 d, 2 d and 4 were carried out. A method for normalizing stress–strain curve was proposed, influence nano-MgO content investigated from three aspects strength, peak strain energy dissipation. The test results show following: (1) modifi...

Beeswax was modified through the direct blending of nano-TiO₂, chitosan, acid dyes, and neutral dyes. With the varied modified beeswax, hot waxing was conducted on compressed poplar wood. Treated wood surfaces were characterized with scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Results show that the C, O, N, Au, S, and Ti elements in modified beeswax successfully penetrated into...

Problem statement: Dammar is a natural resin that used anciently in varnish production. The use of dammar natural resin in coating is limited by undesirable properties for application in coating where it is considered very brittle. Due to dammar's brittle nature, an aged dammar coating can be easily scratched or abraded. Approach: Dammar natural resin could be modified into SiliconeDammar by us...

Physical and mechanical properties were evaluated on cross-laminated panels (plywood) fabricated with three plantation species (Cordia alliodora, Gmelina arborea and Vochysia ferruginea) from tropical climates in Costa Rica. The panels were glued with urea-formaldehyde resin modified with nanoclay at four concentrations (0,75; 1,00; 1,50 and 2,00 %) and unmodified resin. It was determined that ...

Introduction In this study, we describe the results of controlled synthesis and application of gold coated Fe3O4/SiO2 nano-shells combined with the optical property of gold for enhancement of selective photothermal interaction with cancerous cells based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) Phenomena. Materials and Methods Magnetite Nano-Particles (MNPs) were prepared by means of co-precipitat...

in this research fe-tio2 nanocomposites with different molar ratios of fe/ti were prepared as nano-photocatalyst using a modified sol-gel process at ambient temperature. crystallographic properties of nanocomposites were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd). surface morphology and mean particle size of nanocomposites were specified by field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and ...

To ensure targeting of apoferritin nanocarrier with encapsulated doxorubicin drug, we used a peptide linker based on a protein G with N-terminus affinity towards Fc region of antibodies. To connect the peptide to the surface of apoferritin, the C-terminus of peptide was made of cysteine with affinity to gold. The surface of apoferritin with encapsulated doxorubicin (APODOX) was coated either wi...
