A green and easy technique was used to synthesize silver and silica (Ag@SiO2) core–shell nanoparticles (NPs) in the matrix blend polymers matrix. Core–shell nanoparticles were loaded into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene oxide (UHMW-PEO) blended polymer to fabricate new nanocomposite films (NCFs) using the develop...

Conventional biosensor designs are often vulnerable to issues like random dopant fluctuations (RDFs) and high thermal budgets due to their design and the device they are based on. The main reason behind such issues is the complexity of maintaining uniform doping levels throughout the device structure. This manuscript investigates a biosensor struct...

In this study, temperature-resistant functional monomer (TEPA) and hydrophobically associating salt-resistant monomer (APC) were synthesized, respectively. These functional monomers were polymerized with acrylamide (AM) and acrylic acid (AA) to prepare a temperature-resistant and salt-resistant polyacrylamide oil displacement agent with siloxane gr...
