Reusable polymer film chemosensor for ratiometric fluorescence sensing in aqueous media

Synthesis of tethered poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) for detection of breast cancer recurrence DNA

“…Surfaces that can tune their properties when subjected to external stimuli have potential applications in a variety of fields, including drug delivery [18], bioanalysis [19], protein separation [20], and microfluidics [21]. Responsive hydrogels have attracted much attention because of the large number of possible applications in biology, medicine, and pharmaceutical science, and for their use as sensors and actuators [22][23][24]. The largest number of studies have been performed using N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm)-based polymers in various modifications, such as networks or surface-grafted brushes [25].…”

Fabrication of DNA extraction device with tethered poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes on silicon surface for a specific DNA detection

“…For the fabrication of superhydrophobic surface, a combination of optimum surface roughness and low surface energy is required [21]. Responsive hydrogels have attracted the attention of scientists due to the large variety of possible applications in biology, medicine, and pharmaceutics, and as sensors and actuators [22][23][24] number of studies were performed on N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) based polymers in various modifications such as networks or surface grafted brushes [25]. The homopolymer exhibits a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) close to body temperature (32 • C), above which the polymer aggregates and expels bound water, while at T < LCST, water is a good solvent for the polymer.…”

Pyrene‐doped electrospun PMMA‐PVC fibers for ferric ion detection

“…Similar to previous reports, 15,17 response performance of the fibers toward Fe 31 ions was carried out as follows. The nanofibers deposited on aluminum substrate were cut into 1 cm 3 1 cm pieces, and fluorescence emission was measured.…”
