Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation is responsible for the persistence of orthopedic implant infections. Previous studies have shown that exposure S. biofilms to sub-MICs antibiotics induced an increased level persistence. BODIPY FL-vancomycin (a fluorescent vancomycin conjugate) and confocal microscopy were used show penetration through sub-MIC-vancomycin-treated was impeded compared control, untreated biofilms. Further experiments showed increase in extracellular DNA (eDNA)...
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a technique which uses an electric field to separate mixed sample into its constituents. Portable CE systems enable this powerful analysis be used in the field. Many of challenges for portable are similar those autonomous in-situ and therefore may considered stepping stone towards analysis. widely biological chemical example applications include: water quality analysis; drug development control; proteomics DNA counter-terrorism (explosive material...
Abstract Chloroaluminate ionic liquids are commonly used electrolytes in rechargeable aluminum batteries due to their ability reversibly electrodeposit at room temperature. Progress is currently hindered by the limited electrochemical stability, corrosivity, and moisture sensitivity of these liquids. Here, a solid polymer electrolyte based on 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride‐aluminum chloride, polyethylene oxide, fumed silica developed, exhibiting increased stability over liquid while...
Repeatable auxetic foams are produced using three-dimensional printing technologies. This methodology is applied here for the first time to produce playable polymeric with an idealized re-entrant cellular structure. During uniaxial tensile stress, show negative Poisson's ratios as low −1.18. The experimental of compared against data predicted by a mathematical model.
