Silane-modified amphiphilic chitosan was synthesized by anchoring a silane coupling agent, (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, to a novel amphiphilic carboxymethyl-hexanoyl chitosan (CHC). The chemical structure of this new organic-inorganic hybrid molecule was characterized by FTIR and 13C-, 29Si-nuclear magnetic resonance, while the structural evolution was examined using scanning electron micros...

An electrochemical zinc oxide (ZnO) pH sensor is proposed and prototyped using a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). The device resistant to acidic alkaline solutions exhibits excellent electrical conductivity. sensing film was deposited by radio-frequency sputtering, providing dense ZnO layer, (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) used enhance the chemical stability of in solutions. has an...

Anti-HER-3 antibody was used for the first time in a disposable immunosensor based on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate for HER-3 quantification. Anti-HER-3 was immobilized onto ITO substrate by 3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and glutaraldehyde. This highly sensitive immunosensor was capable of detecting concentrations of HER-3 down to the femtogram/ml level by investigating changes in th...

Biofilms pose important economic and health risks in biomedical applications food industries. In this study, coatings that reduce the biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on polystyrene cell culture plates are deposited by plasma polymerization (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane using an atmospheric pressure jet system at three different power levels. Surface characterizations quantification...

The following DNA...

Organic photovoltaics have the potential to serve as lightweight, low-cost, mechanically flexible solar cells. However, losses in efficiency as laboratory cells are scaled up to the module level have to date impeded large scale deployment. Here, we report that a 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) cathode interfacial treatment significantly enhances performance reproducibility in inverted high...

Unhydrated aminopropyl triethoxysilane was used to modify calcined kaolin produced from coal-bearing kaolinite. The aim develop a simple and economic modification method without the need for solution immersion subsequent wastewater treatment. samples before after were tested using multiple methods, such as XRD, MAS-NMR, FT-IR, XPS, SEM. study results indicate that this can effectively improve s...

We report on a one-step synthesis of conjugated polymer (CP) embedded silica nanoparticles (NPs) with a SiO2@CP@SiO2 structure by combination of a precipitation method and a modified Stöber approach. Four types of CPs are employed to demonstrate the versatility of the developed strategy, yielding fluorescent silica NPs with emission across the visible spectrum. Field emission transmission elect...
