Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering For Enantiomeric Discrimination, Thanyada Sukmanee Jan 2020

Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering For Enantiomeric Discrimination, Thanyada Sukmanee

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates with intended surface modification were developed for enantiomeric analysis by taking the consideration of asymmetric electric field and molecular interaction between a probe molecule and enantiomeric analyte. In the first study, discrimination between enantiomers is achieved by performing tip-enhanced Raman scattering using a silver tip which is chemically modified by an achiral para-mercaptopyridine (pMPY) probe molecule. The different relative intensities of the pMPY spectra were obtained when three pairs of enantiomers containing hydroxy and/or amino groups were used as analytes. Enantiomeric discrimination can be attained by the asymmetric electric field of the tip apex co-existed …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) is an agricultural residue available abundantly in Thailand as a renewable resource with high cellulose content. In this research, a simple process using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) treatment has been developed to produce three types of cellulosic products from PALF, which are regenerated amorphous (RAC), microcrystalline (MCC), and nanocrystalline (NCC) cellulose. H2SO4 acid treatment has been done in 25% and 50% (v/v) H2SO4 under three different temperatures (-20, 30, and 50 ºC). In 25% (v/v) H2SO4, various MCC lengths (about 29.57 ± 9.99 to 106.40 ± 61.10 μm) were produced from different temperatures. Different temperatures in this …

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a well-known natural material with desirable properties including biocompatibility, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, high mechanical strength, high porosity, and broad chemically modifiable capacity. Herein, we incorporate carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in BC hydrogel to improve the swelling property and prevent collapsing of 3D bacterial cellulose network upon drying. In addition, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were successfully embedded within the BC/CMC composite using in situ chemical reduction. Moreover, AuNPs were uniformly distributed in BC/CMC matrix with a diameter of approximately 13 nm. The freeze-dried BC/CMC/AuNPs composite was subsequently used for adsorption of targeted analytes for laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. In particular, …

Pyrrolidinyl Peptide Nucleic Acid Probe Capable Of Crosslinking With Dna, Penthip Muangkaew Jan 2020

Pyrrolidinyl Peptide Nucleic Acid Probe Capable Of Crosslinking With Dna, Penthip Muangkaew

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

DNA interstrand cross-linking (ICL) is a phenomenon in which two strands of the DNA (most often as part of the same DNA duplex) bind together via a covalent bond. This process prevents the DNA strand dissociation, which is essential for its biological functions, and thus is extremely damaging to cells. To overcome the problem of non-specificity associated with general DNA cross-linking agents, a cross-linkable probe in which the reactive group is placed on the probe that can specifically recognize part of the DNA target. The strong binding affinity and biological stability of the pyrrolidinyl peptide nucleic acid (acpcPNA) inspired us …

Tetrabromomethane-Mediated Desulfurization For Synthesis Of Isothiocyanates From Amines, Saharat Techapanalai Jan 2020

Tetrabromomethane-Mediated Desulfurization For Synthesis Of Isothiocyanates From Amines, Saharat Techapanalai

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Isothiocyanate considered as an important building block for pharmaceutical industry. Traditional methods for preparation of isothiocyanate involved the desulfurization of dithiocarbamate salt from amine using oxidizing agent. Although those methods are efficient, however, all of them require the use of toxic reagent, strong oxidizing agent, multiple step synthesis, harsh condition and large amount of metal catalyst. Therefore, in this research, we develop two mild methods to synthesize isothiocyanates from amines using low toxic reagent. For the first process, we were able to demonstrate the use of photocatalyst, safranin O to convert dithiocarbamate salt of 4-bromoaniline into 4-brophenyl isothiocyanate in 48% …

Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Using Fluorescence-Quenched Carbon Quantum Dots For Mercury Ion Detection, Andaru Dena Prasiwi Jan 2020

Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Using Fluorescence-Quenched Carbon Quantum Dots For Mercury Ion Detection, Andaru Dena Prasiwi

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Mercury ion (Hg2+) is one of the most challenging problems due to its high toxicity at low concentration and bioaccumulative effects affecting human health. Herein, we propose a strategy to exploit the fluorescence quenching of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) combined with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique to detect Hg2+. CQDs exhibit strong fluorescence emission interfering SERS measurement. However, with the presence of Hg2+, fluorescence from CQDs can be quenched, and the SERS spectrum can be collected. In this work, SERS spectra of rhodamine 6G (R6G) incorporated with CQDs and Hg2+ (0.100‒100 ng/L) were studied. The SERS spectra of R6G was …

Paper-Based Device For Urinary Oxalate Detection, Kanphitcha Mueangdech

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

In this work, a simple method for urinary oxalate determination was developed using testing paper modified with reddish-brown Fe(III)-curcumin complex. Oxalate in sample interacted with Fe(III) ions on the surface of the testing paper to form a Fe(III)-oxalate complex in solution, resulting in a decrease of the amount of Fe(III)-curcumin complex on the paper surface. The amount of the remaining Fe(III)-curcumin complex on the testing paper was inversely proportional to the oxalate level in the sample solution. A change of the testing paper color from reddish-brown to yellow could be observed and the color intensity was determined by ImageJ program. …

Development Of Paper-Based Analytical Devices For Simultaneous Naked-Eye Detection Of Heavy Metal Ions, Pornphimon Kamnoet

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Paper-based analytical device was fabricated by a polymer screen printing and wax printing methods. The various types of device were designed for simultaneous heavy metal ions detection in synthetic unknown and real water samples. The colorimetric method was applied to detect the heavy metal ions using 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol, bathophenanthroline, 1, 5-diphenylcarbazide, bathocuproine, dimethylglyoxime, dithizone, and 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol as complexing agents. However, complexing agents require very highly selectivity. To improve the selectivity for heavy metal ion detection, a device was designed with pretreatment zones and the masking agents were applied to remove interfering ions. The proposed method was successfully applied for simultaneous …
