Effect of the spectral properties of TiO2, Cu, TiO2/Cu sputtered films on the bacterial inactivation under low intensity actinic light
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Rosendo Sanjines, Oualid Baghriche
Bacterial inactivation by TiO2, Cu and TiO2/Cu DC-magnetron sputtered thin films was systematically investigated in the dark and under low intensity visible/actinic light. Low intensity actinic light led to a fast 6log10 (complete) bacterial inactivation w ...
Elsevier2012Multicomponent Assembly of Macrocycles and Polymers by Coordination of Pyridyl Ligands to 1,4-Bis(benzodioxaborole)benzene
Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Euro Solari, Burçak Içli, Benan Kilbas
Multicomponent reactions between 1,4-benzenediboronic acid, catechol, and different pyridyl ligands are reported. The condensation of 1,4-benzenediboronic acid with catechol gives 1,4-bis(benzodioxaborole)benzene. Upon crystallization, the ester aggregates ...
Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh2012Design, testing and characterization of innovative TiN–TiO2 surfaces inactivating bacteria under low intensity visible light
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Rosendo Sanjines, Oualid Baghriche
Ti was sputtered in a plasma chamber under a N2 atmosphere, depositing TiN films on polyester fibers. These films show a significant adsorption in the visible spectral region. A TiN layer 50 nm thick sputtered for 3 min under low intensity/actinic visible ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2012Design, Synthesis and Characterization of New Nanoparticle Stabilizers and Their Application in Catalysis
In recent years, a strong emphasis in research towards creating sustainable and environmental friendly chemical processes has propelled the development of novel types of catalytic systems that combine advantages from homogeneous and heterogeneous processes ...
EPFL2011Low-Voltage p- and n-Type Organic Self-Assembled Monolayer Field Effect Transistors
Francesco Stellacci, Kislon Voitchovsky
We report on p- and n-type organic self-assembled monolayer held effect transistors. On the base of quaterthiophene and fullerene units, multifunctional molecules were synthesized, which have the ability to self-assemble and provide multifunctional monolay ...
2011Surface Assembly of Catechol-Functionalized Poly(l-lysine)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) Copolymer on Titanium Exploiting Combined Electrostatically Driven Self-Organization and Biomimetic Strong Adhesion
Nonfouling coatings, based on surface-tethered, hydrophilic polymer chains, have widespread application in areas such as biosensing, medical devices, and biotechnology. Self-organization of polymers is a particularly attractive approach given its simplicit ...
2010TCNQ-based Supramolecular Architectures at Metal Surfaces
Molecular self-assembly at metal surfaces has been recognized as an efficient strategy to create supramolecular nanoarchitectures with promising functionalities. The focus of this thesis lies on the strong electron accepting molecule 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquin ...
EPFL2010(Y0.5Lu0.5)2O3:Eu3+ nanopowders: Combustion synthesis, structure and optical properties
In this work we explored the possibility of obtaining nanocrystalline (Y0.5Lu0.5)2O3 powders, doped with europium and co-doped with praseodium, employing polymer complex solution synthesis. Polyethylene glycol, with average molecular weight 200, served bot ...
