Nano‐Graphene Oxide Based Multichannel Sensor Arrays towards Sensing of Protein Mixtures

Optical array‐based sensors are attractive candidates for the detection of various bio‐analytes due to their convenient fabrication and measurements. For array‐based sensors, multichannel arrays are more advantageous and used frequently in many electronic sensors. But most reported optically array based sensors are constructed on a single channel array. This difficulty is mainly instigated from the overlap in optical responses. In this report we have used nano‐graphene oxide (nGO) and suitable fluorophores as sensor elements to construct a multichannel sensor array for the detection of protein analytes. By using the optimized multichannel array we are able to detect different proteins and mixtures of proteins with 100 % classification accuracy at sub‐nanomolar concentration. This modified method expedites the sensing analysis as well as minimizes the use of both analyte and sensor elements in array‐based protein sensing. We have also used this system for the single channel array‐based sensing to compare the sensitivity and the efficacy of these two systems for other applications. This work demonstrated an intrinsic trade‐off associated with these two methods which may be necessary to balance for array‐based analyte detections.     

Titanium Dioxide-Yttrium(III)-Oxide Composite Based Cataluminescence Gas Sensor for Fast Detection of Propylene Oxide

By using nano TiO₂-Y₂O₃ as catalyst, cataluminescence (CTL) phenomenon of propylene oxide (PO) was studied, and it was found that the sensor has high sensitivity and good selectivity for the detection of propylene oxide. The common volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as acetone, acetaldehyde and benzene show no response to the catalysis of TiO₂-Y₂O₃. Based on this phenomenon, a propylene oxide CTL sensor was designed. The ratio of TiO₂ and Y₂O₃ and the annealed temperatures of the composites were optimized. It was found that when the mass ratio of TiO₂ and Y₂O₃ was 1:3 and the annealed temperature was 500 °C, the catalytic materials showed the best performance. 0.3 L min^?1 of carrier gas flow rate, 490 nm of detection wavelength and 197 °C of working temperature were selected as the optimal working conditions, and under the optimized conditions, the quantitative analysis was performed and CTL intensity was linearly correlated with PO concentration from 4.5 mg L^–1 to 1375 mg L^–1 with a detection limit (3σ) of 1.25 mg L^–1. The sensor was used for quantitative analysis and real-time monitoring of propylene oxide residues in fumigation cereals. The result was consistent with that analyzed by gas chromatography. The CTL sensor proposed here had many merits such as high sensitivity, rapidity and simple operation and had potential application prospects in the rapid detection of propylene oxide in food. At last, the mechanism of catalytic oxidation of PO was discussed as well.

Synthesis and oxidation of 1-hydroxy-3(2)-imidazoline-derived enaminones

Interaction of 1-hydroxy-3-imidazoline and 3-imidazoline 3-oxide derivatives with esters in the presence of LDA gives enaminones, derivatives of imidazolidine. Oxidation of these compounds with MnO₂ leads to4H-imidazoleN-oxides, oxidative dirnerization products, or stable nitroxyl radicals, depending on the structure of the initial compound.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Hydrophilic magnetic polymer latexes. 1. Adsorption of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles onto various cationic latexes

With a view to preparing monosized hydrophilic functional magnetic latex particles based on a two-step strategy using anionic iron oxide and cationic polymer latexes, the adsorption step was systematically investigated for a better control of the subsequent encapsulation step. The iron oxide nanoparticles were first obtained according to the classical precipitation method of ferric and ferrous chloride salt using a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, whereas the polystyrene (PS), P(S/N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM)) core–shell and PNIPAM latexes were produced via emulsion and precipitation polymerizations, respectively. The polymer and inorganic colloids were then characterised. The adsorption of iron oxide nanoparticles onto the three types of polymer latexes via electrostatic interaction was studied as a function of iron oxide particle concentration, charge density and the cross-linking density of the hydrophilic layer. The maximum amounts of magnetic nanoparticles adsorbed onto the various latexes were found to increase in the following order: PS < P(S/NIPAM) < P(NIPAM). This significant difference is discussed by taking into account the charge distribution in the hydrogel layer and diffusion phenomena inside the cross-linked hydrophilic shell.

Investigation of the incorporation of electrolyte anions in porous anodic Al2O3 films by employing a suitable probe catalytic reaction

A new method has been developed capable of describing the incorporation of electrolyte anions along the pore wall surface and across both the barrier layer and the pore wall oxide after the establishment of the steady state of growth of porous anodic Al₂O₃ where other methods cannot be applied to obtain reliable results. The knowledge of the nature/composition of anodic oxides as regards the incorporation of species like electrolyte anions is of specific importance for both the understanding of the electrochemical mechanism of oxide production and growth and the scientific and technological applications of porous anodic Al₂O₃ films. The method consists of the selection and use of a suitable catalytic probe reaction on porous anodic oxides at thicknesses varying from a value near zero up to the maximum limiting thickness and the treatment of the experimental reaction rate results by a properly developed mathematical formalism. This method was employed in anodic Al₂O₃ films prepared in H₂SO₄ anodizing electrolyte at a constant bath temperature and different current densities using as a probe reaction the decomposition of HCOOH on these oxides, which is almost exclusively a dehydration reaction, at relatively high reaction temperatures, 350 °C and 390 °C, where the effect of other species except SO₄ ²⁻ incorporated in the oxide on the reaction rate is eliminated. It has been shown that the fraction of the intercrystallite surfaces occupied by SO₄ ²⁻ follows a parabola-like distribution. It has a significant value at the pore base surface, depending on the current density, then it passes through a maximum along the pore wall surface and across both the barrier layer and the pore walls near the pore bases at positions depending on the current density and then becomes almost zero at the mouths of the pores of the oxide with the maximum limiting thickness and at both the Al₂O₃/Al interface and cell boundaries. The maximum value of the surface coverage is almost independent of the current density and is always near 1, showing an almost complete saturation of intercrystalline surfaces at these positions. The above distribution of surface coverage predicts a qualitatively similar distribution of the SO₄ ²⁻ bulk concentration across both the barrier layer and pore wall oxide around the pore bases. The method may be improved and developed further either for a more detailed investigation of the above films or to investigate films prepared in other pore-forming electrolytes.
