Nano-scale superhydrophobicity: suppression of protein adsorption and promotion of flow-induced detachment [PDF]

, 2008
Wall adsorption is a common problem in microfluidic devices, particularly when proteins are used. Here we show how superhydrophobic surfaces can be used to reduce protein adsorption and to promote desorption.

Evaluating the Impact of Cellulose Nanocrystals on the Performance of Polycarbonate Thin‐Film Nanocomposite Membranes for Treating Oily Wastewater

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A new type of thin‐film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane was synthesized by incorporating cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) top layer on a polycarbonate (PC) substrate via dip‐coating. The synthesized TFC and TFN membranes (PC/PVA TFC and PC/PVA‐CNC TFN membranes) were evaluated using contact angle measurement, field ...

A Real-Time Antifouling Multivalent Aptamer Platform for Wash-Free Electrochemical Detection of Low-Abundance Biomarkers in Human Plasma. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
Detection of low‐abundance proteins at the point‐of‐care is key for early detection and real‐time monitoring. The clinical translation of such assays is hindered by biofouling, matrix variability, and signal instability. RT‐MagMAp assay overcomes these challenges and enables precise protein quantification in human plasma using a hierarchical assembly ...
