In this study where the FTIR, Raman, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR spectra of poly(N-vinylimidazole) which can be abbreviated as poly(NVIM) are first reported, a comparison of the experimental and theoretical vibrational spectral data of monomer NVIM and water-soluble poly(NVIM) has been given; such a comparison over the vibrational modes and associated spectral data calculated at B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level of theory for NVIM and its stable dimer forms provided significant contributions for getting a reliable interpretation of the observed vibrational spectra of poly(NVIM). The obtained results revealed that the change from NVIM to poly(NVIM) should be characterized by the disappearance of the CH₂CH bonds of the vinyl group and the appearance of the aliphatic CH and CH₂ bonds. Besides this, the thermal properties of poly(NVIM) were elucidated by thermogravimetric analyses such as TGA, DTA and DSC, while some electronic structure parameters of the most stable dimers of NVIM were investigated through the structure calculations performed by using B3LYP method and 6-31+G(d) basis set within the density functional theory (DFT) methodology.

In an O-containing environment, achieving efficient selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by carbon monoxide (CO) using non-noble metal catalysts remains a formidable challenge. To balance the catalytic oxidation of CO and the catalytic reduction of NOx, we need to develop a catalyst with strong reductibility and weak oxidizability for the CO selective catalytic reduction of NOx (CO-SCR) reaction in the presence of O. In this study, we synthesized the CoCeOx-PVP catalyst via a coprecipitation method and employed various characterization techniques, including BET, SEM, XRD, Raman, XPS, H-TPR, and O-TPD.

This study investigates the functionalization of a poplar biochar (PB), obtained by high-temperature pyrolysis, under oxidative conditions typically used in organic synthesis. In particular, concentrated nitric acid, a sulfonitric mixture and a piranha mixture were applied as oxidants at different temperatures and reaction times. In order to assess the outcome of the reaction conditions on the characteristics of the resultant products, these were characterized by a combination of imaging (SEM), spectroscopic (ATR-FTIR, RAMAN) and FFC-NMR relaxometric techniques.

This research presents a novel, cost-effective, and scalable approach for the direct detection of myoglobin (Myo) in point-of-care (PoC) applications. In this strategy, redox-active Prussian Blue nanocubes (PBNCs) are applied to a disposable platinum screen-printed electrode (Pt-SPE). Subsequently, a biomimetic sensing layer is generated by electropolymerization of ortho-phenylenediamine (o-PD) in the presence of Myo, which forms molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sites by cyclic voltammetry (CV).

The functionalization of polymeric matrices through graft polymerization offers multiple advantages by introducing new properties through the incorporation of functional chemical groups on the surface. These modifications can change the chemical properties of the matrix, such as hydrophilicity and chemical reactivity, and enable new chemical interactions with other molecules that the matrix alone could not achieve. This expands the applicability of the material in various fields, particularly in medicine, where these functionalized matrices can be employed as drug delivery systems.

Lactoferrin (LF) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) are recognized for their potent osteogenic properties. However, the osteogenic activity of LF-EGCG complexes is not fully understood. In this study, both non-covalent and covalent LF-EGCG complexes with different LF : EGCG ratios were prepared, and their effects on the LF structure and thermal stability were investigated using circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry.
