The amino-amido-thiol AT (HS-(CH2)10-CO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH2)(HS-(CH2)10-CO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH2), adsorbed on Au(111), was studied by sum frequency generation (SFG) and IR reflection absorption spectroscopy in the CH2 stretching vibration region. The SFG and IR spect ...
A review. The ubiquitous use of poly(ethylene glycol) in the biomaterials field has also boosted the research activity in the chem. derivatization of this polymer. We focused our interest on the prepn. of tailor-made poly(ethylene glycol)-based structures ...
Uniaxial fragmentation tests were carried out in situ in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) on 10-nm-thick silicon oxide coatings deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition on poly(ethylene terephthalate). In order to prevent charging effects ...
The electrochem. properties of IrO2 and RuO2 nanoparticles, deposited on synthetic B-doped diamond (BDD) surfaces, are discussed. After a description of the prepn. procedure and the morphol. characterization of BDD/IrO2 and BDD/RuO2 samples, the dispersion ...
Local, controlled induction of angiogenesis remains a challenge that limits tissue engineering approaches to replace or restore diseased tissues. We present a new class of bioactive synthetic hydrogel matrices based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and synth ...
This paper discusses the solid state and melt nanoscale structure of a series of novel poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hybrid di- and triblock copolymers, which contain amphiphilic β-strand peptide sequences. The block copolymers have been prepared via solid-p ...
The reaction of Pd(cod)Cl-2 (cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene) with 1 and 2 equiv. of rac-diphenyl[2.2]paracyclophanylphosphine, rac-PPh2(C16H15), affords the dimer Pd{PPh2(C16H15)}Cl-2 (1) and the square-planar complex trans-Pd{PPh2(C16H15)}(2)Cl-2 (2), res ...
For Fe contained in long-range transported acolian dust to act as a micronutrient for oceanic phytoplankton it must be first dissolved or mobilized. We propose that Femobilization can occur in mineral dust from East Asia by the incorporation of SO2 into th ...
The influence of the surface morphology of semi-crystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polyamide 12 (PA12) films on the adhesion and cohesion of thin oxide coatings is analysed, with attention paid to the role of spherulites and processing addi ...
The rheological properties in solution, in shear and in uniaxial elongation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) reacted together with hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) were investigated. Two different PET grades, of low and high molecular weights, were compo ...
