Tuning of photonic crystal cavities by controlled removal of locally infiltrated water
Laurent Balet, Massimo Gurioli
We present a spectral tuning mechanism of photonic crystal microcavities based on microfluidics. The microinfiltration with water of one or few cavity holes and its subsequent controlled evaporation allow us to tune the cavity resonances in a spectral rang ...
American Institute of Physics2009Optical Kerr effect studies of the dynamics of confined water
Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Erwin Portuondo Campa
Time resolved optical Kerr effect measurements have been used to det. the orientational dynamics of water in the pores of ZrO2 nanostructured films. We demonstrate that local heating effects can safely be ignored and present our results which are manifestl ...
2008Switch peptide via Staudinger reaction
A new transformation based on the Staudinger reaction is described, and its application in the design of a novel switch element to control peptide folding is demonstrated. We found that the azide switch is activated rapidly in water to promote acyl transfe ...
2008Size and surface effects on the MRI relaxivity of manganese ferrite nanoparticle contrast agents
Superparamagnetic MnFe2O4 nanocrystals of different sizes were synthesized in high-boiling ether solvent and transferred into water using three different approaches. First, we applied a ligand exchange in order to form a water soluble polymer shell. Second ...
American Chemical Society2007Sensor technologies based on a cellulose supported platform
A simple approach to sensor development based on encapsulating a probe molecule in a cellulose support followed by regeneration from an ionic liquid solution is demonstrated here by the codissolution of cellulose and 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2- naphthol in 1-butyl ...
2007Interaction of Se-0 nanoparticles stabilized by poly(vinylpyrrolidone) with gel films of cellulose Acetobacter xylinum
The sorption and desorption of poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-Se-0 (PVP-Se-0) nanoparticles on gel films of cellulose Acetobacter xylinum (CAX) are investigated. It is revealed that the hydrodynamic radius R (h) of PVP-Se-0 nanoparticles decreases from 57 nm in th ...
2006Cyclosporin A prodrugs: design, synthesis and biophysical properties
Annelise Carrupt, Arnaud Hamel
The cyclic undecapeptide cyclosporin A (CsA) has a remarkable spectrum of diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antiparasitic as well as immunosuppressive activities. However, the low water solubility of this drug is a ser ...
2004Mass Integration of a Deinking Mill
François Maréchal, David Brown
The obtimisation of water networks in a deinking mill has been carried out using Mixed Integer Non Linear Programming. The objective function included the costs of water and chemical usage, and of piping retrofitting. The constraints were stream compositio ...
2004Methylation of biphenyl over zeolite HZSM-5 in gas phase with methanol in presence of water: effect of the catalyst impregnation by tetraethyl orthosilicate
The gas phase methylation of biphenyl with MeOH over HZSM-5 and HZSM-5 modified with Si(OEt)4 was investigated at atm. pressure in the presence of water. The modification of the outer surface of the catalyst pellets by silicate gives increased selectivity ...
