A Combined Clinical and Langmuir Film Study of Natural Tear Films
(2017-03-09)
Article
Open AccessThe Langmuir technique has been applied to the study of natural tears and the results obtained from surface pressure-area isotherms have been correlated with those of clinical tests (the Schirmer and the TFBUT tests). The ... -
AFM in mode Peak Force applied to the study of un-worn contact lenses
(2014-09-01)
Article
Open AccessContact lenses (CLs) are of common use and the biocompatibility, topography and mechanical properties of the used materials are of major importance. The objective of this contribution is to apply the AFM in mode Peak Force ... -
AFM in peak force mode applied to worn siloxane-hydrogel contact lenses
(2015-02-01)

Antimicrobial and antifouling hyaluronic acid-cobalt nanogel coatings built sonochemically on contact lenses
(2024-12)
Article
Open AccessThe wearing of contact lenses (CLs) may cause bacterial infections, leading in turn to more serious complications and ultimately vision impairment. In this scenario, the first step is the adhesion of tear proteins, which ... -
Biomimetic monolayer films of digalactosyldiacylglycerol incorporating plastoquinone
(2015-06-01)
Article
Open AccessThe photosynthesis is the process used by plants and bacteria cells to convert inorganic matter in organic thanks to the light energy. This process consist on several steps, being one of them the electronic transport from ... -
Biomimetic monolayer films of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol incorporating plastoquinone
(2015-05-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyPhotosynthetic organisms use light to convert the inorganic matter in organic one. Photosynthetic process consists on several steps, and one of them involves plastoquinone (PQ) that acts as electron and proton shuttle ... -
Biomimetic monolayer films of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol incorporating ubiquinone
(2012-09-01)
Article
Open AccessUbiquinone and plastoquinone are two of the main electron and proton shuttle molecules in biological systems, and monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is the most abundant lipid in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. ... -
Characterization of Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films of a thiomacrocyclic ionophore by surface pressure and AFM
(2006-09)
Article
Open Access -
Characterization of Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films of an octasubstituted zinc phthalocyanine
(2014-04-01)
Article
Open AccessIn this work we report the fabrication of Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of a substituted ZnPc (octakis(oxyoctyl) phthalocyanine of zinc), and their characterization by means of several techniques. These ... -
Characterization of modified solid electrodes with organized thin films of a tetra-substituted zinc phthalocyanine
(2022-04-01)
Article
Open AccessOrganized thin films of a zinc phthalocyanine have been deposited on solid electrodes using several techniques, such as drop casting, immersion and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB), at several conditions, and their electrochemical ... -
Cobalt-phenolic nanoparticles-driven self-assembly of hyaluronic acid hydrogels providing a multifactorial approach for chronic wound management
(2024-06-13)
Article
Open AccessChronic wounds are persistent non-healing lesions whose complex management is due to the interplay of multiple factors promoting chronicity, such as oxidative stress, overexpressed enzyme activities impeding the tissue ... -

Effect of lysozyme subphase and insertion on several lipid films
(2019-06)
Article
Open AccessThe influence of proteins on lipid monolayers is a subject of biological interest. In this work the influence of lysozyme on lipid films of stearic acid, oleic acid, cholesterol, DPPC and POPC has been studied. The Langmuir ... -
Effect of tartaric acid in the electrodeposition of zinc
(2007-05)

Effect of thiol-functionalisation on chitosan antibacterial activity: interaction with a bacterial membrane model
(2013-01-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe antibacterial activity of chitosan modified with the thiol-containing 2-iminothiolane HCl (TC-IMI) and N-acetyl- L -cysteine (TC-NAC) was studied by Langmuir film balance technique using a dipalmitoylphos- phatidylglycerol ... -
Effects of cryoprotectants on phospholipid monolayers - concentration and species dependence
(2022-03)
Article
Open AccessThe effects of four cryoprotectants (dimethylformamide (DMF), ethylene glycol (EG), glycerol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)) on monolayers of four phospholipids were investigated at high cryoprotectant concentration (10% ... -
Electrochemical behaviour of mixed LB films of ubiquinone-DPPC
(2012-03)
Article
Open AccessThe structure and the electrochemical behaviour of Langmuir and Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of the biological ubiquinone-10 (UQ) and a mixture of dipalmytoilphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and UQ at the molar ratios DPPC:UQ ... -
