Hybrid nanomaterials consisting in 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-amino-phenyl)-porphyrin (TAmPP) and copper nanoparticles (CuNPs), platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs), or both types (Pt@CuNPs) were obtained and tested for their capacity to optically detect uric acid from solutions. The introduction of diverse metal nanoparticles into the hybrid material proved their capacity to improve the detection range. The detection was monitored by using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and differences between morphology of the materials were performed using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The hybrid material formed between porphyrin and PtNPs hasthe best and most stable response for uric acid detection in the range of 6.1958 × 10−6–1.5763 × 10−5 M, even in the presence of very high concentrations of the interference species present in human environment.

Abstract Understanding the way fillers can reinforce elastomers requires, among other things, requires a precise description of the behavior of filler aggregates when a macroscopic strain is applied. In this study, Atomic Force Microscopy was used to investigate samples of SBR and PDMS filled with silica. The samples were stretched uniaxially at different strain values (up to 145%) and imaged by Atomic Force Microscopy. The distances between aggregates were followed at the different strains, which allowed calculation of the local strains and comparison of the values obtained with the macroscopic strain value. The main results are (i) that the strain field is highly heterogeneous, depending on the local concentration of filler and (ii) that the strain undergone by elastomer chains can be very high locally, in the regions where distances between aggregates are very short.

Since Binnig, Rohrer and associates observed real-space topographic images of Si(111)-7×7 and invented the scanning tunneling microscope (STM),1) the STM has been accepted as a powerful surface science instrument.Recently, many application areas for the STM have been opened up, such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and others. So, the STM technology holds a great promise for the future.The great advantages of the STM are its high spatial resolution in the lateral and vertical directions on the atomic scale. However, the STM has difficulty in identifying atomic images in a desired area because it uses piezoelectric (PZT) elements as a scanner.On the other hand, the demand to observe specimens under UHV condition has grown, along with the advent of the STM technology. The requirment of UHV-STM is especially very high in to study of surface construction of semiconductors and superconducting materials on the atomic scale. In order to improve the STM image quality by keeping the specimen and tip surfaces clean, we have built a new UHV-STM (JSTM-4000XV) system which is provided with other surface analysis capability.
