Bisphenol A based epoxy acrylate (BABEA), a commercial ultraviolet (UV)-curiable material, was introduced as a new manufacturing material for facile fabrication of epoxy-functionalized films through UV-initiated copolymerization using glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as the functional monomer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS) results indicated the existence of epoxy groups on the surface of the poly (BABEA-co-GMA), which allowed for binding protein through an epoxy-amino group reaction. The contact angel results indicated the poly (BABEA-co-MMA) is hydrophilic, which avoided nonspecific adsorption of biological species. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was successfully immobilized on the poly (BABEA-co-GMA) films by using the introduced epoxy groups effectively. This makes it possible to extend the application of such films in the fields of bio-separations and bio-recognitions.

As microfluidic systems transition from research tools to disposable clinical devices, new substrate materials are need to meet both the regulatory requirement as well as the economics of disposable devices. In this paper, a commercial ultraviolet (UV)-curiable material (bisphenol A based epoxy acrylate, BABEA) was introduced as a new manufacturing material for facile fabrication of epoxy-functionalized microfluidic devices by UV-initiated copolymerization. X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS) results indicated the existence of epoxy groups on the surface of poly (BABEA-co-GMA), which allowed for binding protein through an epoxy-amino group reaction. Poly (BABEA-co-GMA) is highly transparent in visible range, and of high replication fidelity. A fabrication procedure was proposed for manufacturing BABEA based epoxy-functionalized micro-zone plates. The fabrication procedure was very simple; obviating the need of micromachining equipments, wet etching or imprinting techniques. To evaluate the BABEA based epoxy-functionalized micro-zone plates, α-fetoprotein (AFP) antibody was immobilized onto the capture zone for chemiluminescent (CL) detection in a non-competitive immune response format. The proposed AFP immunoaffinity micro-zone plate was demonstrated as a low cost, flexible, homogeneous and stable assay for AFP.

An appreciable degree of pyramidalization of the amine N atom is observed in the title compound. The existence of polar chains, induced by N—H...O synthons, is confirmed. C—H...O interactions, not noted in a previous X-ray study, were found to stabilize further the known head-to-tail assembling of the chains. The structure can be described as non-polar (101) layers, embodying chains interlinked by centrosymmetric dimers, connected by C(aryl)—H...π interactions. The latter are not present in m-nitroaniline, 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline and other related compounds with chains built from similar N—H...O synthons and assembled head-to-head. This finding implies that an obvious relationship between molecular recognition patterns and crystal structures should not be assumed.

Flower-like LLM-105 three-dimensional microstructures, which consisted of LLM-105 microrods with rectangular cross-sections, were prepared via a smiple template- and surfactant-free recrystallization process using [Bmim]CF3SO3as good solvent and water as poor solvent. A tentative mechanism for the growth of the flower-like LLM-105 three-dimensional microstructures was proposed on the basis of the analysis of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Comparing with LLM-105 raw material, the thermal decomposition took place at lower temperature and the weight loss has increased for the flower-like three-dimensional microstructures in the differential scanning calorimetric/thermogravimetric (DSC/TG) measurements.

Magnetic and non-magnetic macroporous crosslinked copolymers of glycidyl methacrylate and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate were prepared by suspension copolymerization and functionalized with diethylenetriamine. The samples were characterized by mercury porosimetry, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis (FTIR-ATR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and SQUID magnetometry. The FTIR-ATR analysis of synthesized magnetic nanocomposites confirmed the presence of magnetite and successful amino- functionalization. Non-functionalized and amino-functionalized nanocomposites exhibited superparamagnetic behavior at 300 K, with a saturation magnetization of 5.0 emu/g and 2.9 emu/g, respectively. TEM analysis of the magnetic nanocomposite has shown that magnetic nanoparticles were homogeneously dispersed in the polymer matrix. It was demonstrated that incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles enhanced the thermal stability of the magnetic nanocomposite in comparison to the initial non-magnetic macroporous copolymer.

The crystal and molecular structures of 2-methyl-1-methylamino-anthraquinone (I) and 1-methylphenylamino-anthraquinone (II) were studied by the X-ray single-crystal diffraction and the visible spectra of crystalline specimens and their solutions were recorded. The molecule I is closely planar, whereas in the molecule II the amino group is 58° rotated out of the plane of the anthraquinone skeleton. In both structures the molecules pack in stacks. The comparison of experimental and calculated (on the DFT and AM1 levels) molecular structures, together with the comparison of experimental and INDO/S-calculated electronic spectra, give the evidence that molecular conformations (especially for II) change upon transfer from the solid state to solutions, and the π-delocalisation throughout the whole molecule enhances in the solid state.

PbSe nanostructures were synthesized by selenization of lead sheets in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) set-up under a selenium ambiance. The lead sheets were placed in the different temperature zones, between 300°C and 450°C. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images showed that, PbSe nanostructures grown on the lead sheets with different morphologies. PbSe nanostructures with flakes shape were grown on the lead sheets that were placed in the lower temperature, while PbSe nanocubes and nanorods, which were grown on the nanocubes, were grown on the lead sheets in the higher temperature. The phase and composition of the product were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The XRD and XPS results showed that, the PbSe phase was started to form after 350°C and completed at 450°C. However, the XPS results showed that the Se concentration was different in the samples. In addition, Raman measurements confirmed the XRD and XPS results and indicated three Raman active modes, which belonged to PbSe phase for the nanostructures. The optical properties of the products were characterized by UV–Vis. The optical characterization results showed a band gap for the PbSe nanostructures in the infrared region.

A biosensor comprisingtyrosinaseimmobilized on bifunctionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) supports was prepared for the detection of phenolic compounds in drinks such as red wine and juices. The MWNT supports were prepared by radiation-induced graft polymerization (RIGP) of epoxy-containing glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), to covalently immobilize thetyrosinase, and vinyl ferrocene (VF), which can act as an electron transfer mediator via redox reactions. The bifunctionalized MWNTs were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Electrodes prepared with the MWNTs showed increased current with increasing VF content. A biosensor comprisingtyrosinaseimmobilized on the bifunctionalized MWNTs could detect phenol at 0.1–20 mM. Phenolics in red wine and juices were determined using the biosensor after its calibration.

Enhancement of the basicity of the amino group in (8-dialkylamino-naphth-1-yl)-diphenylphosphines diverts protonation from the P to the N atom. Thus the cation 8-Et2N+(H)-C10H6-PPh2 becomes available whose 1H and 31P NMR spectra provide arguments against dative N→P interactions in the phosphines and their quaternary phosphonium salts. Likewise, the X-ray structure of 8-Et2N-C10H6-PPh2 does not indicate such interactions.
