Preparations And Characters For Acetamiprid Of Molecular Imprinted Polymer Electrochemical Sensors, Bin Liu, Yong-Xing Huang, Hui-Ting Lian, Hong-Mei Wu Aug 2011

Preparations And Characters For Acetamiprid Of Molecular Imprinted Polymer Electrochemical Sensors, Bin Liu, Yong-Xing Huang, Hui-Ting Lian, Hong-Mei Wu

Journal of Electrochemistry

A novel molecularly imprinted membranes electrochemical sensor with good memory capacity to acetamiprid was developed. Based on electrodeposition technique, chitosan was deposited onto the surface of gold electrode as a functional polymer matrix along with aimed molecules acetamiprid and glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent. Cationic probe Ru(NH3)6Cl3 was employed to indirectly investigate the electrochemical characteristics as well as the imprinted effect of the sensors. The results showed that the sensors had a specific recognition to acetamiprid compared to the structural similarity midacloprid and other pesticide. There is more sensitive response to acetamiprid at imprinted sensors than that at nonprinted sensors …


Self-Repairable Polymeric Networks: Synthesis And Network Design, Biswajit Ghosh Aug 2011

Self-Repairable Polymeric Networks: Synthesis And Network Design, Biswajit Ghosh

Dissertations

This dissertation describes the design, synthesis and development of a new class of polymeric networks that exhibit self-repairing properties under UV exposure. It consists of two parts: (a) modification and synthesis of oxetane (OXE), and oxolane (OXO) substituted chitosan (CHI) macromonomer, and (b) design, and synthesis of self-repairing polyurethane (PUR) networks consisting of modified chitosan. Unmodified CHI consisting of acetamide (-NHCOCH3), primary hydroxyl (-OH), and amine (-NH2) functional groups were reacted with OXE or OXO compounds under basic conditions in order to substitute the 1° –OH groups, and at the same time, convert -NHCOCH3 functionalities …


Chitosan Adhesive Films For Photochemical Tissue Bonding, Antonio Lauto, Damia Mawad, Matthew Barton, Sabine C. Piller, Leonardo Longo Jan 2011

Chitosan Adhesive Films For Photochemical Tissue Bonding, Antonio Lauto, Damia Mawad, Matthew Barton, Sabine C. Piller, Leonardo Longo

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

Photochemical tissue bonding (PTB) is a promising sutureless technique for tissue repair. PTB is often achieved by applying a solution of rose bengal (RB) between two tissue edges, which are irradiated by a green laser to crosslink collagen fibers with minimal heat production. In this study, RB has been incorporated in chitosan films to create a novel tissue adhesive that is laser-activated. Materials and Methods. Adhesive films, based on chitosan and containing ∼0.1wt% RB were manufactured and bonded to calf intestine by a solid state laser (wavelength =532nm, Fluence ∼110J/cm2, spot size ∼5 mm). A single-column tensiometer, interfaced with a …


Synthesis And Spectral Characterization Of A Decavanadate/Chitosan Complex, Violeta Dimitrova Kassabova Zhetcheva, Lilyana Parvanova Pavlova Jan 2011

Synthesis And Spectral Characterization Of A Decavanadate/Chitosan Complex, Violeta Dimitrova Kassabova Zhetcheva, Lilyana Parvanova Pavlova

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A decavanadate/chitosan complex was synthesized by crosslinking chitosan with decavanadate anions at a pH of 3. The materials were characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The spectroscopic results indicated that the decavanadate/chitosan complex was successfully obtained as result of an ionic crosslinking of the chitosan with decavanadate anions.
