The properties as biointerfaces of electroactive conducting polymer–peptide biocomposites formed by poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and CREKA or CR(NMe)EKA peptide sequences (where Glu has been replaced by ...

The simple fabrication of a flexible electrochemical sensor from nitrogen carbon quantum dots (NCQDs) on a modified ITO surface for dopamine detection is presented. NCQD dispersion was used to modify an ITO-coated PET ...

The transport of metabolites across robust, flexible and free-standing biomimetic membranes made of three perforated poly (lactic acid) (pPLA) layers, separated by two anodically polymerized conducting layers of poly ...

This work reports the development of environmentally friendly coatings for the protection against corrosion of AZ91 magnesium alloy substrates. As a novelty, the synergic combination of the use of silica precursors and ...

Natural rubber matrix, reinforced with several conventional stabilizer additives, was further charged with perovskite nanoparticles. Although the addition of BaTiO3 ceramic particles usually transforms a non-conducting ...

Sol-gel films were prepared using different ratios of two silica precursors, vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), targeting the anticorrosion treatment of aluminum alloy 2024-T3. The electrochemical ...

Tungsten carbide based cemented carbides, often simply termed hardmetals, are established forefront materials for tools, structural components, and wear parts with stringent requirements. Several of the technological ...

The influence of the doping level in the formation of specific interactions between plasmid DNA and PEDOT is investigated using experimental assays and theoretical calculations. Electrochemical methods are used to prepare ...

Tecnologia de membranas vem recebendo muita atenção nos últimos anos, tanto da indústria quanto de centros de pesquisas, devido à necessidade de versatilidade e desenvolvimento de processos econômicos de separação. Neste ...

In recent decades, polymers have experienced a radical evolution: from being used as inexpensive materials in the manufacturing of simple appliances to be designed as nanostructured devices with important applications in ...
