As consumption of fish and fish-based foods increases, non-destructive monitoring freshness also becomes more prominent. Fish products are very perishable prone to microbiological growth, not always easily detected by organoleptic evaluation. The analysis the headspace specimens through gas sensing is an interesting approach monitor freshness. Here we report a method for Tilapia spoilage based on application single sensitive gel material coupled optical electronic nose. signals sensor extent...
Photo-induced copper-mediated polymerization (photoCMP) is employed for the synthesis of multiarm-multiblock star copolymers. Based on a core-first approach, polymers with four, six and twenty-one arms have been synthesized.
On-line microreactor/ESI-MS experiments and kinetic simulations on single unit monomer insertions are combined to assess the efficiency of SUMI process.
The cooperative assembly of biopolymers and small molecules can yield functional materials with precisely tunable properties. Here, the fabrication, characterization, use multicomponent hybrid gels as selective gas sensors are reported. composed liquid crystal droplets self‐assembled in presence ionic liquids, which further coassemble to form stable matrices. Each individual component be varied acts cooperatively tune gels' structure function. unique molecular environment is explored for...
Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) were synthesised for the selective detection of amoxicillin in aqueous samples. Different functional monomers tested to determine optimal composition via batch rebinding experiments. Two different sensor platforms using same MIP solution; one being bulk synthesized and surface modified Screen Printed Electrodes (SPEs) drop casting microparticles onto electrode other UV polymerized directly SPE form a thin film. The sensors used measure conjunction with...
A low-cost chemiresistive gas sensor is described, made by the deposition of a thin film conductive polymer, poly(2-dodecanoylsulfanyl-p-phenylenevinylene), doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (10%, w/w), onto interdigitated electrodes.

Since cheap, easy to fabricate, durable, presents low power consumption, not sensitive ethanol, acetic or water,...
The phase transitions of binary lipid mixtures are studied by a combination Peltier-element-based adiabatic scanning calorimetry (pASC) and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). pASC, novel type calorimeter, provides valuable unambiguous information on the heat capacity enthalpy, whereas QCM-D is proposed as genuine way determining diagrams analysing temperature dependence viscosity. Two phospholipids same polar head differing in alkyl chain length, DMPC + DPPC...
Three tobacco types (Burley, Flue Cured, and Oriental) eight cigarette brands were unequivocally identified using an electronic nose formed by only three sensors based on a single novel conducting polymer (PF-BTB) doped with different porphyrins (H2TPP, H2TPFP, H2BTBOP). The synthesis characterization of the are also discussed. Small changes in porphyrin structure caused significant electrical conductance response patterns upon exposure to complex chemical matrixes, representing approach for...
This work demonstrates the application of an electronic nose (e-nose) for discrimination between authentic and adulterated honey. The developed e-nose is based on electrodes covered with ionogel (ionic liquid + gelatin Fe3O4 nanoparticle) films. Authentic honey samples were submitted to analysis, capacity sensors was evaluated using principal component analysis (PCA) average relative response data. From PCA biplot, it possible note two well-defined clusters no intersection observed. To...
An innovative polymer-based dual detection microfluidic platform has been developed for the accurate and reliable sensing of trace amounts antibiotic tetracycline in environmental food samples.
