Nanostructured rigid polyurethane foams with improved specific thermo-mechanical properties using Bacterial Nanocellulose as a Hard Segment [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) was used to synthesize rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) based on its reaction with the isocyanate precursor (ISO route) and also by using the conventional procedure (POL route). The results indicated that at only 0.1 wt. % of BNC, drastic improvements of specific elastic compressive modulus (+244.2 %) and strength (+77.5 %)

Modelling the abundance structure of isocyanic acid (HNCO) toward the low-mass solar type protostar IRAS 16293-2422 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Isocyanic acid (HNCO), the most stable of the simplest molecules containing the four main elements essential for organic chemistry, has been observed in several astrophysical environments such as molecular clouds, star-forming regions, external galaxies and comets.

Toward Personalized Stationary Chromatography Phases: Equipping Commercial Silica Phases with Selected Peptide‐Based Binding Domains to Tailor Affinity

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The 7‐mer peptide motifs QFFLFFQ, QFFEFFQ, and QFQQSFF, known as good, medium, and poor binders for the photosensitizers m‐THPC and Chlorin E6 are covalently immobilized on commercial amino‐functionalized silica particles by inverse electron‐demand Diels‐Alder ligation.

Carbamoylating activity associated with the activation of the antitumor agent laromustine inhibits angiogenesis by inducing ASK1-dependent endothelial cell death. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The anticancer agent 1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)-2-[(methylamino)carbonyl]hydrazine (laromustine), upon decomposition in situ, yields methyl isocyanate and the chloroethylating species 1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)hydrazine ...

Durable Bio‐Based Nanocomposite Coating on Urinary Catheters Prevents Early‐Stage CAUTI‐Associated Pathogenicity

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A stable bio‐based nanocomposite coating for urinary catheters is developed using a simple, environmentally‐friendly sonochemical process. The coating, integrating antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and antioxidant properties, effectively tackled multiple early‐stage pathogenic factors associated with catheter‐associated urinary tract infections.

Increase of Exhaled Nitric Oxide (eNO) after Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) Exposure in Isocyanate Workers with Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness

open access: yesAllergology International, 2005
Background: : Isocyanates have become one of the most important causes of occupational asthma in industrialized countries. Increased exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) levels have been shown to be associated with allergic airway inflammation.

Sustained Vaccine Exposure Elicits More Rapid, Consistent, and Broad Humoral Immune Responses to Multivalent Influenza Vaccines

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an injectable polymer‐nanoparticle hydrogel depot platform for delivering multivalent influenza vaccines which induces stronger and more durable immune responses. The technology provides broader protection, including against heterologous and potential pandemic strains (H5N1, H7N9, H9N2), and enhances the effectiveness of commercial ...

Interstellar Detection of Methyl Isocyanate CH$_3$NCO in Sgr B2(N): A Link from Molecular Clouds to Comets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A new interstellar molecule, CH$_3$NCO (methyl isocyanate), has been detected using the 12 m telescope of the Arizona Radio Observatory (ARO). CH$_3$NCO was identified in spectra covering 48 GHz (68-116 GHz) in the 3 mm segment of a broadband survey of Sgr B2(N).
