AbstractSingle and multicomponent membrane-mimetic surfaces of DPPC and synthetic lipid-peptide conjugates were formed on an alkylated glass surface by a process of vesicle fusion. Correlative atomic force microscopy and radiochemical titration techniques confirmed the generation of a single substrate supported monolayer and predictable deposition of defined concentrations of lipopeptide. Mixed systems were stable for periods exceeding 1 month if stored at room temperature in phosphate buffered saline.

In this paper, the analysis, synthesis and characterization of thin films of a-Si:H deposited by PECVD were carried out. Three types of films were deposited: In the first series (00 process), an intrinsic a-Si:H film was doped. In the second series (A1–A5 process), n-type samples were doped, and to carry this out, a gas mixture of silane (SiH4), dihydrogen (H2) and phosphine (PH3) was used. In the third series (B1–B5 process), p-type samples were doped using a mixture of silane (SiH4), dihydrogen (H2) and diborane (B2H6). The films’ surface morphology was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), while the analysis of the films was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV–visible ellipsometry was used to obtain the optical band gap and film thickness. According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the best conditions can be obtained when the flow of dopant gases (phosphine or diborane) increases, as seen in the conductivity graphs, where the films with the highest flow of dopant gas reached the highest conductivities compared to the minimum required for materials made of a-Si:H silicon for high-quality solar cells. It can be concluded from the results that the magnitude of the conductivity, which increased by several orders, represents an important result, since we could improve the efficiency of solar cells based on a-Si:H.

Abstract This research demonstrates the effect of some amide compounds (1 and 2) as corrosion inhibitors on C-steel in 1.0 M of hydrochloric solutions utilizing mass reduction studies, electrochemical [potentiodynamic (PP), AC impedance measurements (EIS), electrochemical frequency modulation] techniques, and surface checks were used to illustrate the importance of amide compounds to the corrosion protection process of C-steel. The tests displayed that the inhibition efficiency (IE%) augmented with increase in amide dose but reduced with growth of temperature. The highest inhibition efficiency is 99% for compound (1) and 98.8% for compound (2) at maximum dose tested (50 µM) by polarization method. PP data show that these compounds affect both cathodic and anodic processes (i.e. mixed type) and were adsorption on the carbon steel obeying Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The EIS results indicate that the changes in impedance parameters are related to the adsorption of amides on the alloy surface. Scanning of electron microscopy, energy transmitted X-ray—Atomic force microscopy studied the morphology of inhibited C-steel. Graphic abstract

This work examines the effect of gold nanoparticle (Au NP)- graphene oxide (GO) on the adsorption of dibenzothiophene (DBT) compounds. Au NP-GO were also used as an absorbent to produce nanoscale samples of DBT selfassembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au NP-GO. The influences of DBT adsorption on the size and the time of patterns were investigated. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements showed that all of the uniformly distributed on Au NP- GO preliminary results indicated that the diameter and the density of DBT adsorptive can be controlled by controlling concentration of GO and Au NP and adsorption time during DBT the stage of SAMs. Photocatalytic oxidation of DBT was studied over Au NPs incorporated DBT Au NP-GO- DBT catalyst under UV radiation.

The synthesis and characterization of mesostructured zirconia and titanium oxides are presented. The samples were investigated by x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). XRD and TEM revealed only lamellar structures for both materials, whereas AFM could detect locally restricted initial stages of cubic or hexagonal phases in a globally lamellar Ti oxide.

Amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients primarily consists of amyloid beta 1-42 (Ab42). Commercially, Ab42 is synthetized using peptide synthesizers. We describe a robust methodology for expression of recombinant human Ab(M1-42) in Rosetta(DE3)pLysS and BL21(DE3)pLysS competent E. coli with refined and rapid analytical purification techniques. The peptide is isolated and purified from the transformed cells using an optimized set-up for reverse-phase HPLC protocol, using commonly available C18 columns, yielding high amounts of peptide (~15-20 mg per 1 L culture) in a short time. The recombinant Ab(M1-42) forms characteristic aggregates similar to synthetic Ab42 aggregates as verified by western blots and atomic force microscopy to warrant future biological use. Our rapid, refined, and robust technique to purify human Ab(M1-42) can be used to synthesize chemical probes for several downstream in vitro and in vivo assays to facilitate AD research.

The anti-corrosive properties of sulphadoxine + pyrimethamine (S+P) on the corrosion of pipeline steel in acidic environment were investigated using electrochemical techniques. The results obtained showed an excellent inhibition efficiency which increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. The corrosion inhibition efficiency increased up to 99.04 % at 0.01M S+P and decreased with rise in temperature down to 85.93 % at 333 K and 0.01 M S+P, suggesting a physiosorptive mechanism of adsorption. Also the adsorption data was fitted into Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms, while the inhibitive action was shown to proceed by mixed inhibition mode.
