Analysis on Shack–Hartmann wave-front sensor with Fourier optics

In Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWS), the behavior of the irradiance pattern produced by the micro-lens array is important for an accurate centroid estimation. In this paper, the behavior of a micro-lens array in SHWS is analyzed using Fourier optics, and reveals that in addition to the main, expected spots, secondary spots with smaller intensities also appeared as a result of diffraction by the small dimensions of the micro-lens and interference from the different micro-lenses. This result is confirmed by comparing with a irradiance pattern taken from an actual SHWS. The additional error in centroid estimation caused by these secondary spots is discussed and relationship to the parameters of the micro-lens of SHWS is analyzed.     

Core/shell particles containing 3-(methacryloxypropyl)-trimethoxysilane in the shell: synthesis, characterization, and application

In comparison to the corresponding single-component counterparts, core/shell particles are widely used due to their better physical and chemical properties. The surface properties of core/shell particles evidently play an important role in the process of application. It is easy to deduce that surface properties mostly depend on the properties of the component in the shell. Therefore, desirable materials of shell are very significant for the study of composite materials, especially in core/shell field. It is well known that polysiloxane has excellent properties, such as the water repellency, high flexibility, low surface energy, and biocompatibility. Its application, however, is limited due to poor cohesiveness and poor film-forming properties. Recently, much endeavor has been made to overcome such flaws. It is found that polyacrylate is commonly considered for its good cohesiveness and excellent film-forming property. The combination of polysiloxane and polyacrylate has been shown to be important in the composite material field, especially as core/shell particles. Unfortunately, their hydrophobicity is considerably different and thus, the core/shell particles consisting of polyacrylate (PA)/polysiloxane (PSi) are hard to prepare by general seeded emulsion polymerization, and are also scarcely available in the literature. In this study, the new core/shell PA/PSi particles with poly(butyl methacrylate) (PA) as the core and poly(3-(methacryloxypropyl)-trimethoxysilane) (PSi) as the shell were prepared by dispersion polymerization under the kinetically controlled conditions. The characterization of the particles by TEM, DSC, particle size analyzer as well as static contact angle confirmed the formation of core/shell structure. The application of core/shell (PA/PSi) particles also has been considered and discussed here.TEM micrographs of core/shell (PA/PSi) particles.     

On pointwise estimate for Gamma operators

For linear combinations of Gamma operators, if 0＜a＜2r, 1/2-1/2r≤λ≤l, or 0≤λ＜1/2-1/2r(r≥2),0＜a＜r+10＜a<(r+1)/1-λ, we obtain an equivalent theorem with ωuλρ(f ,t) instead of ωrλφ(f,t), where ωuφ(f,t) is theDitzian-Totik moduli of smoothness.

Recognition of proteins and peptides: Rational development of molecular imprinting technology

The creation of tailor-made receptors which are able to recognize molecular targets with high affinity and selectivity has attracted much attention in the field of chemistry, physics, and biology. Molecular imprinting has proved to be an effective technique for generating specific recognition sites in synthetic polymers. The synthesis of molecular imprinted polymers specific for proteins and peptides has been a focus for many scientists working in the area of molecular recognition, since the creation of synthetic polymers that can specifically recognize biomacromolecules is a very challenging but potentially extremely rewarding work. These polymers with specificity for biological macromolecules have considerable potential for applications in the areas of solid phase extraction, catalysis, medicine, clinical analysis, drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and sensors. In this review, the authors discuss the developed approaches associated with the imprinting of peptides and proteins, and provide an overview of the significant progress achieved within this field. Finally, the possible mechanism of the molecular imprinting and recognition has been discussed.     

A facile method for the preparation of monodisperse hollow silica spheres with controlled shell thickness

This article presents a facile, effective, mild synthesis process for well‐defined hollow spheres by using cationic polystyrene (PS) submicro‐particles as templates. In this approach, the cationic PS templates can be first prepared via emulsifier‐free polymerization by using the cationic monomer 2‐(methacryloyloxy) ethyltrimethylammonium chloride as comonomer, then, the silica shells from the sol‐gel process of tetraethoxysilane were coated on the surfaces of template particles via electrostatic interaction, finally the PS was dissolved in situ by modification of the reaction conditions in the same medium to form monodisperse hollow silica spheres with controlled shell thickness. Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscope measurements were used to characterize these hollow silica spheres. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Preparation and Enzyme Immobilization of Hydrophobic Polysiloxane Supports

Enzymes are versatile biocatalysts and find increasing applications in many areas. The major advantages of using enzymes in biocatalytic transformations are their chemo‐, regio‐, and stereospecificity, as well as the mild reaction conditions that can be used. However, even when an enzyme is identified as being useful for a given reaction, its application is often hampered by its lack of long‐term stability under process conditions, and also by difficulties in recovery and recycling. For ease of application and stabilization purposes, enzymes are often immobilized on solid supports. Among support matrices, hydrophobic biomaterials have been extensively used as supports for enzyme immobilization because the hydrophobic interactions not only can effectively increase the amount of enzyme immobilization, but also exhibit higher activity and retention of activity compared with hydrophilic supports. On the other hand, polysiloxane can evidently increase the amount of enzyme immobilization because of its hydrophobicity and strong affinity with enzyme. Therefore, this research details the first preparation and use of a hydrophobic polysiloxane support for enzyme immobilization in which the structural and functional characteristics of new supports have been investigated by using glucose oxidase (GOD) and a simple Fenton's assay method, and extremely interesting features were revealed. The results showed that the amount of GOD immobilization and the stability of GOD loaded, which are fundamental properties for enzyme separation and purification, can be significantly improved by adsorption. Moreover, the results indicated that hydrophobic polysiloxane supports can effectively increase the enzymatic affinity and durability of GOD, and decrease the rate of GOD desorbed.
