PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to present information on the environmental and health hazards associated with the lifecycle of polyvinyl chloride plastic (PVC; commonly known as vinyl). This report is not intended as a complete review of...

A solid-contact ion selective electrode for copper(II) using a succinimide derivative as ionophore.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)

Tutulea-Anastasiu MD, Wilson D, del Valle M, Schreiner CM, Cretescu I.
PMID: 23549362
Sensors (Basel). 2013 Apr 02;13(4):4367-77. doi: 10.3390/s130404367.

All-solid-state sensors with polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-based membranes using off-the-shelf N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and succinimide (Succ) ionophores were prepared using DOP (dioctyl phthalate) and NPOE (ortho-nitrophenyloctyl ether) as plasticizers. Good responses were obtained when NHS was used. The potentiometric response of...

Polymer Coating of Carbon Nanotube Fibers for Electric Microcables.

Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland)

Alvarez NT, Ochmann T, Kienzle N, Ruff B, Haase MR, Hopkins T, Pixley S, Mast D, Schulz MJ, Shanov V.
PMID: 28344254
Nanomaterials (Basel). 2014 Nov 04;4(4):879-893. doi: 10.3390/nano4040879.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered the most promising candidates to replace Cu and Al in a large number of electrical, mechanical and thermal applications. Although most CNT industrial applications require macro and micro size CNT fiber assemblies, several techniques...

Effect of storage on the chemical composition, microbiological load, and sensory properties of cassava starch-based custard powder.

Food science & nutrition

The effect of storage on the chemical, microbiological, and sensory properties of cassava starch-based custard powder (CbCP) blends as mixture of yellow-fleshed cassava root starch (YfCRS) (90-98%) and whole egg powder (WEP) (2-10%) was investigated. These were prepared using...

Electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of amorphous carbon nanotubes.

Scientific reports

Zhao T, Hou C, Zhang H, Zhu R, She S, Wang J, Li T, Liu Z, Wei B.
PMID: 25007783
Sci Rep. 2014 Jul 10;4:5619. doi: 10.1038/srep05619.

Amorphous carbon nanotubes (ACNTs) with diameters in the range of 7-50 nm were used as absorber materials for electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic wave absorbing composite films were prepared by a dip-coating method using a uniform mixture of rare earth...

Achieving One-step Surface Coating of Highly Hydrophilic Poly(Carboxybetaine Methacrylate) Polymers on Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Surfaces.

Advanced materials interfaces

Sundaram HS, Han X, Nowinski AK, Brault ND, Li Y, Ella-Menye JR, Amoaka KA, Cook KE, Marek P, Senecal K, Jiang S.
PMID: 29094002
Adv Mater Interfaces. 2014 Sep;1(6). doi: 10.1002/admi.201400071. Epub 2014 May 27.

It is highly desirable to develop a universal nonfouling coating via a simple one-step dip-coating method. Developing such a universal coating method for a hydrophilic polymer onto a variety of surfaces with hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties is very challenging....

Blood Bag Plasticizers Influence Red Blood Cell Vesiculation Rate without Altering the Lipid Composition of the Vesicles.

Transfusion medicine and hemotherapy : offizielles Organ der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Transfusionsmedizin und Immunhamatologie

Transfus Med Hemother. 2016 Jan;43(1):19-26. doi: 10.1159/000441639. Epub 2015 Oct 29.

BACKGROUND: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plasticized with di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is commonly used for blood collection and storage. DEHP has protective effects on RBC membranes, but is also a toxin.METHODS: A paired study was conducted to investigate the influence of...

Manganese-oxide-coated redox bars as an indicator of reducing conditions in soils.

Journal of environmental quality
