Selective Impedimetric Chemosensing of Carcinogenic Heterocyclic Aromatic Amine in Pork by dsDNA-Mimicking Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Film-Coated Electrodes
(American Chemical Society Publications, 2021-11-29)
Inspired by the easy intercalation of quinoxaline heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) in double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), we synthesized a nucleobase-functionalized molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as the recognition unit ...
Investigation of Shape Transformations of Vesicles, Induced by Their Adhesion to Flat Substrates Characterized by Different Adhesion Strength
(MDPI, 2021)
The adhesion of lipid vesicles to a rigid flat surface is investigated. We examine the influence of the membrane spontaneous curvature, adhesion strength, and the reduced volume on the stability and shape transformations ...
The influence of confinement on the structure of colloidal systems with competing interactions
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
Colloidal systems with competing interactions have a complex phase diagram with several periodic microphases, in which particles are arranged in lamellae, cylinders or clusters. Using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations, ...
Shape Transformations of Vesicles Induced by Their Adhesion to Flat Surfaces
(American Chemical Society, 2020)
The shape transformations of lipid vesicles induced by the adhesion to a flat surface is investigated. We perform the calculations within the framework of the Helfrich spontaneous curvature model. The calculations were ...
Combined Influence of Low-Grade Metakaolins and Natural Zeolite on Compressive Strength and Heavy Metal Adsorption of Geopolymers
(MDPI, 2021-05-01)
Metakaolins (MKs) prepared from low-grade kaolins located in the Alvarães (A) and Barqueiros (B) regions of Portugal were used as the aluminosilicate source to compare their effect on the compressive strength and heavy ...
Bio-dee synthesis and dehydrogenation coupling of bio-ethanol to bio-butanol over multicomponent mixed metal oxide catalysts
(MDPI, 2021-05-22)
Within the Waste2Fuel project, innovative, high-performance, and cost-effective fuel production methods from municipal solid wastes (MSWs) are sought for application as energy carriers or direct drop-in fuels/chemicals in ...
Phase Transitions and Electrochemical Properties of Ionic Liquids and Ionic Liquid-Solvent Mixtures
(MDPI, 2021-06-16)
Recent advances in studies of ionic liquids (IL) and ionic liquid–solvent mixtures are reviewed. Selected experimental, simulation, and theoretical results for electrochemical, thermodynamical, and structural properties ...
Molecularly imprinted polymer as a synthetic receptor mimic for capacitive impedimetric selective recognition of Escherichia coli K-12
(Elsevier, 2021-10-14)
We fabricated an electrochemical molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) chemosensor for rapid identification and quantification of E. coli strain using 2-aminophenyl boronic acid as the functional monomer. This strain is a ...
Capacitance response and concentration fluctuations close to ionic liquid-solvent demixing
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
We investigate the concentration fluctuations in a simple model of electrolyte (two positively and negatively charged Lennard-Jones spheres in a solution of an uncharged Lennard-Jones liquid) confined between electrodes ...
Valorizing the Unexplored Filtration Waste of Brewing Industry for Green Silver Nanocomposite Synthesis
(MDPI, 2022-01-28)
The brewing industry generates a substantial amount of by-products rich in polyphenols, carbohydrates, sugars, sulfates, nitrogen compounds, organic carbon, and several elements, including chlorine, magnesium, and phosphorus. ...
