Polyaramides, such as Kevlar, are of great technological importance for their extraordinary mechanical performance. As fibers, they used in personal safety, reinforcement tires and ropes, further material composites that require extreme stability. However, the properties polymer depend on environmental conditions. Specifically, elevated temperatures and/or irradiation with UV light seriously affect its toughness. Classical approaches to protect polyaramide fibers from these external factors...

Graphene is an attractive material for its physicochemical properties, but many applications only chemically synthesized forms such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced (rGO) can be produced in sufficient amounts. If considered electrode material, the intrinsic defects of GO or rGO may have negative influence on conductivity electrochemical properties. Such are commonly oxidized sites that offer possibility to functionalized with other materials order improve performance. In this work, we...

Abstract. In this paper an electrochemical endotoxin biosensor consisting of immobilized lipopolysaccharide (LPS) ligand, polymyxin B (PmB), is presented. Several parameters involved both in the device fabrication and detection process were analyzed to optimize ligand immobilization interaction between PmB LPS, aiming at increasing sensitivity sensor. Different pre-treatment procedures as well functionalization methods studied evaluated. The use a SAM (self-assembled monolayer) immobilize...

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) studies of two different ionogels (IOs) are performed using gold interdigitated electrodes (Au-IDEs). Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAAM) is polymerized in the presence ionic liquids (ILs), ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate [C2mIm][EtSO2] (1) or trihexyltetradecyl-phosphonium dicyanamide [P6,6,6,14][DCA] (2). The Nyquist diagrams IOs reflect significant differences due to their polarity and porosity dissimilarities. This fact supported...
