We explored a synthesis route based on the polymer complex solution method for the production of the rare-earth doped Lu2O3 crystalline nanopowders. In this type of synthesis polyethylene glycol is used both as fuel for the combustion reaction, and as nucl ...
The preparation of iron oxide-coated polymer films and their photocatalytic activity in organic pollutants degradation and bacterial inactivation is described. Polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephtalate (PET) films were used ...
Lutetium and yttrium oxides are promising scintillating materials suitable for use in medical planar X-ray imaging and mammography. In this paper the procedure for preparation of europium doped mixed lutetium-yttrium oxide nanopowders using polymer complex ...
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a polymer with remarkable physico-chemical properties which has been used for membrane and biomedical applications [1]. This fluorpolymer is however difficult or cost- inhibiting to pattern with conventional methods with h ...
Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanoporous layers were prepared with electro-oxidative polymerization using room temperature hydrophobic ionic liquids as a medium. The synthesized highly porous PEDOT films exhibit room temperature conductivity va ...
We present a simple technique for magnetic-field-induced formation, assembling, and positioning of magnetic nanowires in a polymer film. Starting from a polymer/iron oxide nanoparticle casted soln. that is allowed to dry along with the application of a wea ...
Today a plethora of soluble cyanine dyes absorbing from the ultra-violet to the near infrared domain are available owing to more than a century of research and development, mostly in photographic industry. Numerous properties of cyanine dyes suggest that t ...
Polymer materials may exhibit significant viscoelastic behaviour under various type of deformations. A model that can describe various viscous behaviours in simple tension was proposed in a previous work of the laboratory of biomechanical orthopedics. This ...
Nowadays, manipulation of liquids in miniaturised environments finds applications in many fields in biology and medicine such as diagnostics, toxicity analysis, drug delivery and so on. In those domains, the use of disposable devices has the great advantag ...
Proteins have been modified with polymers in diverse manners over the past 30 years. However, while proteins have been used to prepare many functional constructs, they are sensitive biomolecules and their bioactivity can be either positively or negatively ...
