One of the emerging technologies of the recent times harboring nanotechnology to fabricate nanofibers for various biomedical and environmental applications are electrospinning (nanofiber technology). Their relative ease in use, simplicity, functionality and diversity has surpassed the pitfalls encountered with the conventional method of generating ...

Sugar chain immobilized polymer particles having both magnetic and fluorescent properties can be expected to be useful in a wide variety of biomedical applications such as the detection, separation, and purification of proteins, viruses, or bacteria, because sugar chains specifically adsorb them. Since high magnetic responsiveness is required for s...

Several difunctional oligomers were synthesized by functionalizing perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPAE) chains with different vinyl ethers and epoxides end-groups. Due to their innate synthetic challenges and demanding purification protocols, the PFPAE derivatives were obtained in low yield and with an average functionality lower than 2. However, the fu...

The pair correlation function of charge stabilized colloidal particles under strongly sheared conditions is studied using the analytical intermediate asymptotics method recently developed in Banetta and Zaccone (Phys. Rev. E 99, 052606 (2019) to solve the steady-state Smoluchowski equation for medium to high values of the Péclet number; the analyti...

New perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPAE) monomers, chain extended with different alkyl groups and functionalized with vinyl ether or epoxide end-groups, were employed, together with trimethylolpropane trivinyl ether or trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether, to produce fluorinated copolymers. The photoinduced cationic polymerization was investigated, and ...

Thermosensitive star-shaped eight-arm poly-2-alkyl-2-oxazolines (M = 21,000 g mol−1) was synthesized. The arms were gradient copolymers of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOx) and 2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline (iPrOx). The more hydrophilic EtOx units prevailed near the calix[8]arene core. For comparison, model linear gradient copolymer (M = 3800 g mol−1) was inves...

While similar in nature, the properties of silica and silsesquioxane are very different, but little is known about these differences. In this paper, functionalized silsesquioxane microparticles are synthesized by adapting the modified Stöber method and post-functionalized with rhodamine B. The as-synthesized silsesquioxane particles are characteriz...

The magnetic properties of nanoparticles make them ideal for use in various applications, especially in biomedical applications. Herein, we describe the fabrication of iron oxide nanoparticles encapsulated in polystyrene (PS) using two methods: a conventional batch and microfluidic synthesis. In particular, we present a simple synthesis method of m...

Magnetic reduced graphene oxide/polymer nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization and grafting of polyacrylamide on the surface of functionalized magnetic reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Graphene oxide nanosheets were decorated with Fe3O4 nanoparticles, reduced and functionalized with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, and then graf...

This study aimed to clarify the effects of different types of nano-SiO2 and surfactants on the oil-water IFT and IFR. These interfacial properties were demonstrated to be influenced by the interaction between the surfactant, the nano-SiO2 and the oil component. The interaction between nano-SiO2 and oil components and their adsorption at the crude o...
