Magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) has been proven to be a very good repair material for deteriorated concrete structures. It has excellent adhesion performance, leading to high bonding strength with old concrete substrates. This paper presents an experimental study into the properties of MPC binder as the matrix of carbon fiber sheets to form fiber-reinforced inorganic polymer (FRIP) composites....

A new sensitive, selective and nonexpensive electrochemical sensor was developed for electrocatalyticdetermination of glutathione (GSH)in pharmaceutical and biological samples. GSH is a tripeptide thiol present in all eukaryotic and probiotic cells. A voltammetric studyof GSH has been carried out at the surface of carbon paste electrode modified with multiwall carbon nanotubes(MWCNTPE) in the p...

The anodic stripping voltammetry at a carbon paste electrode modified with thiol terminated self-assembled monolayer on mesoporous silica (SH-SAMMS) provides a new sensor for simultaneous detection of lead (Pb2+) and mercury (Hg2+) in aqueous solutions. The overall analysis involved a two-step procedure: an accumulation step at open circuit, followed by medium exchange to a pure electrolyte sol...

An amperometric biosensor for chlorphenvinphos (organophosphorus pesticide) based on carbon nanotube paste and acetylcholinesterase enzyme (CNTs-AChE biosensor) is described herein. This CNTs-AChE biosensor was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The SEM result shows the presence of CNTs and small lumps, due to the enzyme AChE, w...

A carbon-paste electrode for dicyclomine hydrochloride (DcCl) was prepared and fully characterized in terms of composition, life span, usable pH range and temperature. The electrode was applied to the potentiometric determination of dicylominium ion in its pure state and in pharmaceutical preparations in batch and flow injection conditions and in biological fluids using standard additions metho...

In this work, 3D structuration of LTCC (Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) for microfluidics was studied, using two novel sacrificial carbon paste compositions. These pastes are based on graphite with a water-soluble vehicle consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone binder (PVP) dissolved in propylene glycol (PG), which is not aggressive to green LTCC material. Both examined pastes differ slightly in b...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com immense number of publications appeared dealing mainly with the determination of the four “classical” metals easily accessible by inverse voltammetry on mercury electrodes, i.e., Zn, Cd, Pb and Cu. Along with such prosperity in voltammetry also potentiometry slipped into its golden age with the development of new ion selective membranes for many of ...

A new selective and sensitive sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymer/acetylene black (MIP/AB) was developed for the determination of azithromycin (AZM) in pharmaceuticals and biological samples. The MIP of AZM was synthesized by precipitation polymerization. MIP and AB were then respectively introduced as selective and sensitive elements for the preparation of MIP/AB-modified carbon past...

A flow injection amperometric biosensor for the determination of organophosphate nerve agents was developed. The biosensor incorporated an immobilized enzyme reactor that contains the enzyme organophosphorus hydrolase covalently immobilized on activated aminopropyl controlled pore glass beads and an electrochemical flow-through detector containing carbon paste working electrode, a silver/silver...
