A new method in differentiation of chiral molecules is reported based on the fluorescence quenching of functionalized CdS quantum dots (CdS-QDs) as nanosensor by differing in the chirality of functionalization species. The chemically functionalized CdS-QDs with strong yellow emission were prepared using chiral L-cysteine (L-Cyst) and D-cysteine (D-Cyst) molecules. Then, the functionalized CdS-Q...

in this research, (carboxy-3-oxopropylamino)-3-propylsilylcellulose (copapsc) as an organocatalyst, has been synthesized by grafting of succinic anhydride on the nh2-modified cellulose (cellulose functionalized with 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane). the –co2h group-functionalized cellulose (copapsc) is used as a catalyst for the synthesis of coumarin derivatives from the reaction of phenolic subs...

By using the density function theory (DFT) the adsorption of nitramine (NH2NO2) molecule on the surface of pristine and Ni functionalized of Gallium nitride nanotube (GaNNTs) is investigated. The adsorption energy of NH2NO2 molecule on the surface of pristine and Ni functionalized GaNNTs is in range ‒6.59 to ‒48.16 Kcal/mol and is physisorption type. The ∆E and ∆H values of the all adsorption m...

In this work we synthesized of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane to improve the loading and release of ibuprofen bonded to 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. sample were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy , X-ray diffraction, and ultraviolet-visible. the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy resu...

Block copolymer micelles and shell cross-linked nanoparticles (SCKs) presenting Click-reactive functional groups on their surfaces were prepared using two separate synthetic strategies, each employing functionalized initiators for the controlled radical polymerization of acrylate and styrenic monomers to afford amphiphilic block copolymers bearing an alkynyl or azido group at the a-terminus. Th...

The imide-functionalized polynorbornene films exhibited excellent optical transparency in the visible range as well as high thermal stability over 200 degrees C. The indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were coated on the imide-functionalized polynorbornene films at various deposition temperatures by employing radio-frequency (r.f.) planar magnetron sputtering system. The resulting ITO-coated imid...

Electrospun poly (vinyl alcohol) [PVA] nanowebs functionalized with a commercially available microbiocidal solution ReputexTM 20 were prepared. The active ingredient of ReputexTM 20 is polyhexamethylene biguanides, a safe antiseptic. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy confirmed the functionalization of PVA nanowebs. Functionalized nanowebs were characterized by evaluating their antimicrobi...

Mesopore walls of hierarchically meso-/microporous zeolites (MFI, BEA and LTA) are covered with silanol groups, so that the zeolites can be functionalized with various organic groups via silylation; the organic-functionalized hierarchical zeolites exhibit hydrothermal stability and reusability in catalytic applications, as compared with organic-functionalized mesoporous silica.

The melt rheological properties of layered silicate nanocomposites with maleic anhydride (MA) functionalized polypropylene are contrasted to those based on ammonium-terminated polypropylene. While the MA functionalized PP based nanocomposites exhibit solid-like linear viscoelastic behavior, consistent with the formation of a long-lived percolated nanoparticle network, the single-end ammonium fu...

Polysulfone/carbon nanotubes (PSF/CNTs) nanocomposite membrane was prepared via phase inversion induced by immersion precipitation technique. In addition, the surface of the CNTs were functionalized by polar carboxylic and amine groups to improve the interaction between the CNTs and the polymer matrix. For this purpose, the neat CNTs were chemically treated using sulfuric acid/ nitric acid (H2S...
