Bacteria-immobilized electrospun fibrous polymeric webs for hexavalent chromium remediation in water
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016)The development of hexavalent chromium remediating fibrous biocomposite mats through the immobilization of a hexavalent chromium reducing bacterial strain, Morganella morganiiSTB5, on the surfaces of electrospun polystyrene ... -
Charging / discharging of thin PS / PMMA films as probed by dynamic x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(2007)Polystyrene / polymethyl methacrylate (PS-PMMA) thin films were analyzed for detecting phase separation as well as probing their electrical responses by XPS. It was also shown that electrical parameters like resistance or ... -
Chemical and topographical modification of PHBV surface to promote osteoblast alignment and confinement
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2008)Proper cell attachment and distribution, and thus stronger association in vivo between a bone implant and native tissue will improve the success of the implant. In this study, the aim was to achieve promotion of attachment ... -
The formation and characterization of cyclodextrin functionalized polystyrene nanofibers produced by electrospinning
(2009)Polystyrene (PS) nanofibers containing the inclusion complex forming beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) were successfully produced by electrospinning aimed at developing functional fibrous nanowebs. By optimization of the electrospinning ... -
Highly fluorescent pyrene-functional polystyrene copolymer nanofibers for enhanced sensing performance of TNT
(American Chemical Society, 2015)A pyrene-functional polystyrene copolymer was prepared via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction (Sharpless-type click recation) between azide-functional styrene copolymer and 1-ethynylpyrene. Subsequently, nanofibers of ... -
Methods for probing charging properties of polymeric materials using XPS
(2010)Various thin polystyrene, PS, and poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA and PS + PMMA blend films have been examined using the technique of recording X-ray photoelectron spectrum while the sample is subjected to ±10 V d.c. bias, ... -
Position-invariant surface recognition and localization using infrared sensors
(SPIE, 2003)Low-cost infrared emitters and detectors are used for the recognition of surfaces with different properties in a location-invariant manner. The intensity readings obtained with such devices are highly dependent on the ... -
Prism coupling technique investigation of elasto-optical properties of thin polymer films
(American Institute of Physics, 2004)The use of thin polymer films in optical planar integrated optical circuits is rapidly increasing. Much interest, therefore, has been devoted to characterizing the optical and mechanical properties of thin polymer films. ...
