Only recently polymers with intrinsic conductive properties have been studied in relation to their incorporation into bioactive scaffolds for use tissue engineering. The reason this interest is that such could electrically stimulate cells and thus regulate specific cellular activities, by means influence the process of regeneration those tissues respond electrical impulses. In our work, macroporous hydrogels are developed controlled pore morphology enable sufficient cell signaling supply...
We report our latest research results concerning the development of a platform for label-free biosensing based on overlayered Long Period Gratings (LPGs) working in transition mode. The main novelty this work lies multilayer design that allows to decouple problem an efficient surface functionalization from tuning region cladding modes. An innovative solvent/nonsolvent strategy dip-coating technique was developed order deposit LPG multiple layers transparent polymers. In particular, primary...
This Letter deals with a feasibility analysis for the development of radiation-tolerant fiber-optic humidity sensors based on long-period grating (LPG) technology to be applied in high-energy physics (HEP) experiments currently running at European Organization Nuclear Research (CERN). In particular, here we propose high-sensitivity LPG sensor coated finely tuned titanium dioxide (TiO₂) thin layer (~100 nm thick) through solgel deposition method. Relative (RH) monitoring range 0%-75% and four...
A safe detection of hydrocarbons is a major concern in industrial and public environment, due to their high volatility flammability. In this work, we report the development characterization an in-fiber sensor for aliphatic hydrocarbon gas operating at room temperature, focusing attention on butane (C <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</sub> H xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">10</sub> ). long period grating (LPG) was used...
This contribution presents distributed and multipoint fiber-optic monitoring of cryogenic temperatures along a superconducting power transmission line down to 30 K over 20 m distance. Multipoint measurements were conducted using fiber Bragg gratings sensors coated with two different functional overlays (epoxy poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA)) demonstrating operation in the range 300-4.2 K. Distributed exploited optical frequency-domain reflectometry analyze Rayleigh scattering concatenated...
Synthesized silicon oxide (silica) nanoparticles were functionalized with a hyperbranched polymer (HBP) achieving core/shell (CSNPs) morphology. CSNPs characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). A core diameter of about 250 nm 15 thick shell was revealed using TEM images. An aeronautical epoxy resin loaded the synthesized at different percentages thermal properties, such as stability dynamic...
The effects of temperature and moisture on flexural thermomechanical properties neat filled epoxy with both multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT), nanofibers (CNF), their hybrid components were investigated. Two regimes environmental aging applied: Water absorption at 70 °C until equilibrium content thermal heating for the same time period. Three-point bending dynamic mechanical tests carried out all samples before after conditioning. property prediction model (PPM) was successfully applied...
To examine body image problems and their associations with disordered eating behavior in adolescents type 1 diabetes well-matched healthy peers.Using a cross-sectional design, 183 (13.02-18.05 years) were recruited from centers southern Italy compared to peers matched for age gender. Participants completed self-report measures of behaviors (DEPS-r EDI-3RF) gender-specific problem questionnaire (SATAQ-4R). Socio-demographic clinical data (zBMI, HbA1c, disease duration) also collected....
Synthesized silica nanoparticles (SiO2) were coated with a thin polydopamine (PDA) shell by modified one-step procedure leading to PDA (SiO2@PDA). Core-shell (CSNPs) characterization revealed 15 nm thickness of surrounding the SiO2 core (~270 in diameter). Different weight percentages CSNPs employed as filler enhance final properties an aeronautical epoxy resin (RTM6) commonly used matrix manufacture structural composites. RTM6/SiO2@PDA nanocomposites experimentally characterized terms...
Bio-based polymeric stimuli-responsive materials have attracted increasing interest, especially in the pharmacological and nutraceutical fields. These mainly consist of macromolecules capable conformational chemical changes response to external signals. One active molecule mostly used bio-related areas is lactoferrin (Lf), which attracting attention due its beneficial effects (antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic) on human body. Since pH or temperature body can promote Lf...
Typical non-linear current–voltage curves with a closed hysteresis loop (memristive-like behavior) were observed in aPS/PANI/Au hybrid nanocomposite devices.
