The dispersion of highly hydrophobic carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes in biological media is a challenging issue. Indeed, the nonspecific adsorption of proteins occurs readily when the nanotubes are introduced in biological media; therefore, a met ...
We report the selective detection of single nitric oxide (NO) mols. using a specific DNA sequence of d(AT)15 oligonucleotides, adsorbed to an array of near-IR fluorescent semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (AT15-SWNT). While SWNT suspended with ...
Molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate possible explanations for experimentally observed differences in the growth modification of calcite particles by two organic additives, polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyaspartic acid (p-ASP). The more r ...
The ability to predict the distribution of metals in geologic systems requires a modeling approach that can describe the competition among adsorbing surfaces for the metal of interest. In this study, we test if a component additivity (CA) surface complexat ...
A composite material consisting of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) grown on sintered metal fiber filters was modified by H2O2 or plasma-generated O3. Coupling temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques in the sam ...
This paper presents the optimization of a micro gas preconcentrator based on a micro-channel in porous and non-porous silicon filled with an adequate adsorbent. This micro gas preconcentrator is both applicable in the fields of atmospheric pollution monito ...
We consider a material having a constant true activation volume and estimate the apparent activation volume that it displays in cyclic creep or ratcheting. We show that cyclic stresses have an effect on the measured value, and that this can be accounted fo ...
A specific multi-phosphopeptide enrichment method is presented to complement current phosphopeptide isolation strategies that normally bias mass spectrometry analysis towards the detection of mono-phosphopeptides. An adsorption model is developed that show ...
Novel TiO2-modified macroporous materials (Ti-MOSF, see figure) have been synthesized with high surface area, large pore volume, and functional surfaces that are rich in coordinatively unsaturated TiIV species, which can be applied in the specific extracti ...
The development of new high performance, ultra-thin organic coatings requires a strategy that has to consider a large number of surface treatment variables such as binding moieties, substrate, and adsorption conditions (e.g. temperature, solvent, concentra ...
