Exposure dependence of the UV initiated optical absorption increase in polymer films with a soluble CdS precursor and its relation to the photoinduced nanoparticle growth

ANTON A. SMIRNOV, ANDREY AFANASIEV, SERGEY GUSEV, DMITRY TATARSKIY, NICKOLAI ERMOLAEV, AND NIKITA BITYURIN ABSTRACT: Evolution of the UV-induced absorption within the polymer matrix possessing a highly soluble CdS precursor is studied. The initially optically...

Different effects of nano-scale and micro-scale zero-valent iron particles on planktonic microorganisms from natural reservoir water

Nhung H. A. Nguyen, Roman Špánek, Vojtěch Kasalický, David Ribas, Denisa Vlková, Hana Řeháková, Pavel Kejzlara and Alena Ševců ABSTRACT: While nano-scale and micro-scale zero-valent iron (nZVI and mZVI) particles show high potential for reme- diation of polluted soil...

Patterned polycaprolactone-filled glass microfiber microfluidic devices for total protein content analysis

Gayan C. Bandara, Christopher A. Heist, Vincent T. Remcho ABSTRACT: Membrane based microfluidic devices have gained much popularity in recent years, as they make possible rapid, inexpensive analytical techniques that can be applied to a wide variety of areas. The...

Quick and easy microfabrication of T-shaped cantilevers to generate arrays of microtissues

Benoît Kalman, Catherine Picart, and Thomas Boudou ABSTRACT: Over the past decade, a major effort was made to miniaturize engineered tissues, as to further improve the throughput of such approach. Most existing methods for generating microtissues thus rely on T-shaped...
