Paper-based solution sampling coupled with potentiometric ion sensors by Ding, Ruiyu

“…To eliminate the unfavourable effects, different paper substrate pre-treatments were investigated, namely: (i) modifications of paper substrates with primary or interfering ions and acidification of paper substrates to chemically bind the active groups on the paper, thus avoid subsequent paper substrate interactions with metal ions in the sample solution; (ii) modifications of paper substrates by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to selectively remove/diminish transport of proteins from the clinical samples. …”

Structure-activity relationships of photo-activated soft tissue Adhesive by Wicaksono, Gautama

“…FTIR and NMR analysis of arlydiazirine precursor reveals the decay kinetics of diazoalkane, and in some cases diazoalkane groups are stable for at least 30 minutes. Different UV wavelengths allow curing of diazirine with different efficiency depending on its shift relative to diazirine’s absorbance peak (~360 nm), and the longer wavelengths within this absorption region is able to penetrate the bioadhesive matrix deeper. …”
