Calixarene-based amphiphiles : synthesis, self-assembly and interaction with DNA [PDF]

, 2015
The present doctoral thesis focused on the synthesis of amphiphilic calix[4]arenes, the study of their self-assembly properties at the air-water interface as Langmuir monolayers or in solution as nanoparticles and on the DNA-binding properties of the ...

Bio‐Derived Carbon Nanoparticles: A Green Amendment for Alleviating Heavy Metals in Soil–Plant Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil–plant systems poses persistent ecological and health risks, driving interest in nanoparticle‐based remediation. Although conventional chemically synthesized nanoparticles (CSNPs) are effective, their energy‐intensive production and residual toxicity limit sustainable deployment.

On the Interaction between Digitonin and Cholesterol in Langmuir Monolayers

Langmuir, 2016
In this article, we describe the effect of a highly hemolytic saponin, digitonin, on model lipids cholesterol and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) using a combination of tensiometric (surface pressure and dilatational surface elasticity), spectroscopic (infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, IRRAS), microscopic (fluorescence microscopy), and

Fluorenone and Fluorenemalononitrile‐Tethered Conjugated Microporous Polymers for Efficient CO2 Uptake and Rhodamine B Removal

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
TPET‐F2CN CMP exhibited higher CO2 uptake (2.88 mmol g−1 at 273 K) and superior Rhd B adsorption, with an equilibrium capacity of 98.12 mg g−1 and a maximum monolayer capacity of 155.6 mg g−1. ABSTRACT Herein, two conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), TPET‐FO and TPET‐F2CN, are functionalized with carbonyl and nitrile groups.

Synthesis and application of alginate@CuFe2O4 polymeric spheres in 17‐β‐estradiol adsorption processes in Amazonian rivers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Magnetic alginate beads, functionalized with copper ferrite, effectively remove 17‐β‐estradiol from Amazonian water, exhibiting optimized 238.65 μg g−1 capacity, fast 40 min kinetics, easy recovery, and successful remediation. Abstract The presence of endocrine‐disrupting compounds, such as 17‐β‐estradiol, in aquatic ecosystems poses a significant ...

Influence of sulfonation degree and deposition technique on the electrical and morphological properties of sulfonated polystyrene thin films

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Sulfonated polystyrene films with different degrees of sulfonation were fabricated using Langmuir–Schaefer and drop‐casting techniques. Both the deposition method and sulfonation level strongly affect film morphology and electrical response, governing the performance of these materials as ammonia gas sensors.

Metal/Si Nanowire Arrays for Hot Electron Catalysis

Small, EarlyView.
Silicon nanowire arrays enhance plasmon‐driven catalysis by strengthening light–matter interactions on Au and Ag nanostructured coatings. Hotspot accessibility, rather than near‐field intensity alone, governs photocatalytic performance, while Ag nanoshells exhibit superior activity. The work establishes high‐surface‐area Si nanowire arrays as versatile

Behenic Acid Monolayer and Bilayer Assemblies- A Study of Concanavalin A (Con A) Adsorption and its Interaction with Dextran Using Surface Plasmon Resonance Spectroscopy and Microscopy [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 1993
Deposition of behenic acid (B.A) mono and bilayers onto gold coated surfaces was performed by Langmuir-Blodget dip-casting technique. Surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) and ellipsometry methods were employed for investigation of the monolayer and bilayer ...

Adsorption‐Programmed Transformation of a Two‐Dimensional Cu–Imidazolate Framework into Mn‐Integrated Catalytic Nanonetwork

Small, EarlyView.
A freeze‐dried copper‐based metal‐organic framework removes more than 95% of manganese from water. Capturing the metal reorganizes the framework, giving the used adsorbent a second life as a reusable catalyst that produces valuable ester products in yields up to 84%.
