A Self-Assembled Microlensing Rotational Probe [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A technique to measure microscopic rotational motion is presented. When a small fluorescent polystyrene microsphere is attached to a larger polystyrene microsphere, the larger sphere acts as a lens for the smaller microsphere and provides an optical ...

Method for Zero-Waste Circular Economy Using Worms for Plastic Agriculture: Augmenting Polystyrene Consumption and Plant Growth

open access: yesMethods and Protocols, 2021
Polystyrene (PS) is one of the major plastics contributing to environmental pollution with its durability and resistance to natural biodegradation. Recent research showed that mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) and superworms (Zophobas morio) are naturally ...

Solvent-Induced Assembly of One-Patch Silica Nanoparticles into Robust Clusters, Wormlike Chains and Bilayers

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2021
We report the synthesis and solvent-induced assembly of one-patch silica nanoparticles in the size range of 100–150 nm. They consisted, as a first approximation, of silica half-spheres of which the truncated face was itself concave and carried in its ...

Photodegradation Elevated the Toxicity of Polystyrene Microplastics to Grouper (Epinephelus moara) through Disrupting Hepatic Lipid Homeostasis.

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2020
Microplastics (MPs) have caused increasing global concerns due to their detrimental effects on marine ecosystems. However, the role of photodegradation in altering toxicity of MPs to marine organisms is poorly understood.

Effects of Digestion, Cell Culture Media, and Mucous on the Physical Properties, Cellular Effects, and Translocation of Polystyrene and Polymethacrylate Nanoparticles

open access: yesToxics, 2023
The discovery of plastic and metal nanoparticles in organisms, foods, and beverages has generated numerous studies on the effects of these particles on the barrier cells and their subsequent absorption into the body.

Glass transition and alpha-relaxation dynamics of thin films of labeled polystyrene

open access: yes, 2008
The glass transition temperature and relaxation dynamics of the segmental motions of thin films of polystyrene labeled with a dye, 4-[N-ethyl-N-(hydroxyethyl)]amino-4-nitraozobenzene (Disperse Red 1, DR1) are investigated using dielectric measurements ...

Secondary Crystallization of Isotactic Polystyrene [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
When isotactic polystyrene (i-PS) is crystallized from the melt or from the glassy state at rather large supercooling an additional melting peak appears on the curve during scanning in a differential calorimeter.

Numerical Integration of Weight Loss Curves for Kinetic Analysis

open access: yesThermo, 2021
Research abounds in the literature on kinetic analyses using thermogravimetric (TG) runs. Many of these studies use approximations of integral or derivative forms of the kinetic law and all of them use programmed temperatures.
