Resonance light scattering method for the determination of DNA with cationic methacrylate based polymer nanoparticle probes.

Narrowly distributed cationic poly (methyl methacrylate-co-diacetone acrylamide) (P(MMA-DAAM)) nanoparticles were successfully prepared by microemulsion polymerization. Photon correlation spectrometer (PCS) measurement and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation revealed that z-average particle size of P(MMA-DAAM) is ∼27.5 nm.

Electrochemical behavior of epinephrine at l-cysteine self-assembled monolayers modified gold electrode.

The electrochemical behaviors of epinephrine (EP) at the l-cysteine self-assembled monolayers modified gold electrode have been studied. The modified electrode shows an excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of EP and accelerates electron transfer rate. The diffusion coefficient (D) is 1.

Detection of DNA using cationic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanoparticles as the probe by resonance light scattering technique.

A novel cationic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanoparticle (cationic POSS) was synthesized and successfully used as a new probe for the detection of DNA by resonance light scattering technique (RLS). It was found that the electrostatic interaction of cationic POSS and DNA could obviously enhance the RLS signal, the enhanced RLS intensity at 360 nm was proportional to the concentration of nucleic acids within the range of 0.35-42.

Surface characterization of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-butyl acrylate-co-cyclopentylstyryl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane) by inverse gas chromatography.

The surface properties of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-butyl acrylate-co-cyclopentylstyryl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane) (poly(MMA-co-BA-co-styryl-POSS)) were studied by means of inverse gas chromatography (IGC) using 10 non-polar and polar solvents as the probes. Thermodynamic parameters of adsorption, e.g.

[Analysis of confined crystalline behaviors of poly(styrene)-poly(ethyleneoxide)-poly(styrene) triblock copolymers by inverse gas chromatography].

The confined crystalline behaviors of the triblock copolymers, poly(styrene)-poly(ethyleneoxide)-poly(styrene) (PS-PEO-PS), were studied by using inverse gas chromatography(IGC) probe technique, including phase-transformation of melting crystalline, crystallinity (Xc), melting temperature(Tm) and melting range of temperature. The effects of the molecule-chain length of linear alkane probes on the results are discussed. Results showed that micro-phase separation of PS-PEO-PS had a greater influence on crystallization of PEO molecule-chain.
