Materials: Cyclohexane, n-hexanol (98%), ammonia hydroxide (28~30 wt%), tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS, 98%), (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APTS, 95%), polyoxyethylene(10)isooctylphenylether (TritonX-100), fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer I (FITC, 90%), Iron(III) acetyl acetonate (Fe(acac)3, 99+%), and benzyl ether (99%) were purchased from Acrös. 1,2 dodecanediol (90%), oleylamine, and olei...

Molecular fragment dynamics (MFD) is a mesoscopic simulation technique based on dissipative particle dynamics (DPD). MFD simulations of the self-aggregation of the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether surfactants C6E6, C10E6, C12E6 and C16E6 at the water-air surface lead to equilibrium nanoscale structures and computationally determined surface tensions which are in agreement with experimental data for ...

The morphology and corrosion behavior of electrochemically prepared Ag nanostructures (NSs) have been examined in the absence and presence of potassium citrate, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan monolaurate (Tween-20). These additives give rise to morphologically distinct Ag NSs. The presence of citrate increases the dissolution of Ag and creates finer nanostructured A...

Four N-Fmoc protected polyoxyethylene-based amino acid type linkers were designed and synthesized for peptide derivatization in solid phase. Three of them were obtained in a crystalline form. The crystallized linkers can be stored at 4 degrees C for 2 years without significant decomposition. Protocols for biotinylation and fluorescent labeling of peptides in solid phase were developed. The link...
