Hierarchical multiscale modeling of polymer-solid interfaces: atomistic to coarse-grained description, and structural and conformational properties of polystyrene-gold systems [PDF]

, 2013
A hierarchical simulation approach was developed in order to study polystyrene films sandwiched between two parallel Au(111) surfaces. The coarse-grained potentials describing the interaction of polystyrene with the gold surface were developed ...

Immobilized photosensitizers for antimicrobial applications [PDF]

, 2015
Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) is a very promising alternative to conventional antibiotics for the efficient inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms; this is due to the fact that it is virtually impossible for resistant strains to ...

Functionalized polystyrene beads as carriers in release studies of two herbicides: 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid

International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2018
The extensive usage of pesticides in agriculture has adverse effect on the quality of water and soil; therefore, the proper dosage is of great concern. The aim of this study was to use the functionalized polystyrene beads (QuadraPure™) as a reservoir for

Drying of a Colloidal Suspension Deposited on a Substrate: Experimental and Numerical Studies

Crystals, 2021
We studied a colloidal suspension of polystyrene beads deposited on a glass substrate. The glass substrate contained either straight rough areas on the borders of an open channel or only straight rough areas.

Escape from an optoelectronic tweezer trap: experimental results and simulations [PDF]

, 2018
Optoelectronic tweezers (OET) are a microsystem actuation technology capable of moving microparticles at mm s−1 velocities with nN forces. In this work, we analyze the behavior of particles manipulated by negative dielectrophoresis (DEP) forces in an OET

SV40 VP1 major capsid protein in its self-assembled form allows VP1 pentamers to coat various types of artificial beads in vitro regardless of their sizes and shapes

Biotechnology Reports, 2015
The icosahedral capsid structure of simian virus 40 (diameter, 45 nm) consists of 72 pentameric subunits, with each subunit formed by five VP1 molecules. Electron microscopy, immuno-gold labeling, and ζ-potential analysis showed that purified recombinant

Metal-containing polystyrene beads as standards for mass cytometry [PDF]

Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, 2010
We examine the suitability of metal-containing polystyrene beads for the calibration of a mass cytometer instrument, a single particle analyser based on an inductively coupled plasma ion source and a time of flight mass spectrometer. These metal-containing beads are also verified for their use as internal standards for this instrument. These beads were

Size and shape determination of fixed chylomicrons and emulsions with fluid or solid surfaces by three-dimensional analysis of shadows.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1990
Chylomicrons and chylomicron-sized emulsions are spherical particles in suspension but their shape and apparent size may be distorted by electron microscopy processing.

High brightness red emitting polymer beads for immunoassays: Comparison between trifluoroacetylacetonates of Europium

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023
Efficiently luminescing spherical polymer particles (beads) in the nanoscale regime of up to approximately 250 nm have become very valuable tools in bioanalytical assays.
