The synthesis of polyaniline doped with dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid (Pani-DBSA) coatings on 310 stainless steel (310 SS) surfaces has been investigated by using the galvanostatic method. The synthesized coatings were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-Visible absorption spectrometry and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM...

The preparation of polyaniline/zeolite nanocomposite coating on 304 stainless steel (304 SS) surface has studied via the galvanostatic method. The electro-generated coating was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The anticorrosion property of polyaniline/zeo...

Sirs, In the US/European Consensus Group (EUCG) classification criteria for Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) objective items, such as focal sialadenitis and serum presence of antiSS-A and anti-SS-B antibodies (anti-SS-A, anti-SS-B), are emphasized (1). In the sera of approximately 20% of SS patients no anti-SS-A or anti-SS-B can be detected at the time of diagnosis. However, in these ‘seronegative’ pati...

A new component of the complement (C).system, with a specific binding affinity for the activated Ss-protein (C4) has been identified in mouse serum. This protein, named Ss- (or C4)-binding protein (Ss-bp), was purified about 200 times from mouse plasma. Ss-bp is a heat stable (56 degrees C, 60 rain) beta-globulin with a sedimentation coefficient in sucrose density ultracentrifugation of 10s. It...
