Ultrathin Cellulose-Based Layers for Detection of Single Antigen Molecules

Wettability and surface composition of partly and fully regenerated cellulose thin films from trimethylsilyl cellulose

“…Compared to most of the literature values, where the regeneration time (RT) of TMSC to pure cellulose is between 30 s and 2 min, the RT is prolonged under the conditions applied in this work [32,33]. Nevertheless, as can be seen in Fig.…”

Synthesis and characterization of Ag–Pd alloy nanoparticles/carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals nanocomposites

“…Activated carbon-nanotubes were used as platforms to carry more CdS nanoparticles for electrical detection of DNA hybridization (Wang, Liu, Jan, & Zhu, 2003). Numerous applications of cellulose take advantage of its biocompatibility and chirality for the immobilization of proteins (Martinez, Manolache, Gonzalez, Young, & Denes, 2000), antibodies (Loescher, Ruckstuhl, & Seeger, 1998), heparin (Erdtmann, Keller, & Baumann, 1994), DNA (Mangalam, Simonsen, & Benight, 2009), and for the separation of enantiomeric molecules (Goetmar, Zhou, Stanley, & Guiochon, 2004) as well as the formation of cellulose composites with synthetic polymers and biopolymers (Linder, Bergman, Bodin, & Gatenholm, 2003). To the best of our knowledge, using carboxylated CNXLs as platforms for electronic detection of DNA hybridization has not been reported.…”

Performance and characteristics of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes/cellulose EAPap actuator

“…Cellulose derivates are used for many industrial products with high functions, such as laminates, optical films, pharmaceuticals, foods and textiles. Furthermore, cellulose is utilized for new applicable fields due to its characteristics of biocompatibility and chirality for the immobilization of proteins [3] , antibodies [4] as well as the formation of cellulose composites with synthetic polymers and biopolymers [5] . As one of new applications, cellulose paper has been investigated as a smart material actuating with electric field.…”
