A biocompatible, reliable, fast, and nanomolar-level dual-functional sensor for a neurotransmitter (e.g., adrenaline) an anti-cancer drug 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP)) is still far away from the hand of modern-day researchers. To address this issue, we synthesized aqua-stable, bio-friendly, thiourea-functionalized Zr(IV) metal-organic framework (MOF) selective, rapid sensing adrenaline 6-MP with ultra-low limit detection (LOD = 1.9 nM LOD 28 pM). This first MOF-based fluorescent both targeted...
This work investigates the effects of fiber content and orientation on impact behavior flax fiber‐reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites. The laminates various contents were manufactured by a vacuum bagging process; their properties then measured using Charpy (i.e., in‐plane load) drop weight out‐of‐plane tests. Experiments conducted range samples with different volume fractions orientations. results show significant variations in energy absorption according to orientation. Composites...
A zirconium(IV)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) fluorophore containing the 2,5-diaminoterephthalic acid (H2BDC-(NH)2) linker was synthesized and characterized. The physicochemically stable, porous (SBET = 504 m2 g-1) MOF (1') exhibited selective sensitive fluorescence turn-on behavior toward sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant turn-off response vitamin B12. This is first ever reported MOF-based dual optical sensor of SDS Other competitive analytes did not interfere in detection both...
The incorporation of a realistic interphasial region into the micromechani cal analyses composite systems is critical to understanding behavior. interphase usually modeled as homogeneous region, despite fact that it may have spatial property variations. A representative volume element with three cylinders (concentric cylinder assemblage) considered here for determination local thermal stresses in composite. Three different expressions are used simulate Young's modulus variations interphase,...
The objective of this study is to investigate the performance bamboo fabric–poly(lactic acid) composites manufactured by compression moulding. effects moulding parameters on mechanical properties composite sheets were evaluated. Optimum achieve “best” was determined using Taguchi method experimental design. A rheology test also conducted measure viscosity poly(lactic at different temperatures. processing found affect consolidation and quality composites. It appeared that impact strength in...
This article focuses on the reduction of graphene oxides using different reductants and conditions systematically varying chemical physical structure, surface topography chemistry film thickness reduced oxide (rGO) films, with a focus how these influence property most interest: electrical conductivity. The process restores to graphene-like improving conductivity while creating changes such as increased roughness, new functionality. Films smooth surfaces minimal thicknesses have been shown...
