Reactions Occurring during the Melt Mixing of Nylon 6 and Oxazoline−Cyclophosphazene Units

2009

Specific reactions of amino and carboxyl end groups of Nylon 6 with the reactive oxazoline groups belonging to a cyclophosphazene compound (referred as CP20XA) were carried out at 240 °C for different times, under inert atmosphere. Ny6 polymers terminated with one specific reactive chain end (-COOH or NH2) were reacted with different amounts of CP20XA to study the kinetic order of the reactions. All Ny6-CP20XA reacted products soluble in trifluoroethanol (TFE) were well characterized by MALDI-TOF MS, FT-IR and ( 1H and 13C) NMR techniques. The MALDI-TOF results show that the oxazoline rings react with the carboxyl chain ends of Ny6 following second-order kinetics. The reactions with amino c…

N-trifluoracetyl-nylon 66 als polymeres reagenz

1979

N-Trifluoroacetyl-Nylon 66 (2) obtained by the reaction of Nylon 66 (1) with trifluoroacetic anhydride is very suitable as a polymeric reagent for the trifluoroacetylation of amines and alcohols. The advantages of 2 compared with low molecular trifluoroacetylating reagents are discussed. The selectivity against different substituted anilines and against structurally isomeric secondary amines was studied intensively by kinetic measurements.

Electrochemical properties of graphite/nylon electrodes additively manufactured by laser powder bed fusion

2023

Nowadays, additive manufacturing, known as 3D printing, is vigorously employed at various enterprises due to the ability of industrial series production and customization in conjunction with geometry freedom. While, material design and fabrication of composite materials, meeting the desired architecture and properties, is another promising application of additive manufacturing. For instance, additive manufacturing of the material exhibiting electrochemical properties is beneficial for the development of freestanding electrodes that might be used in electrochemical energy storage systems. Herein, the graphite/nylon composite with a high carbon ratio of 30 wt% was produced by laser powder bed…

Insight into mechanisms of creatinine optical sensing using fluorescein-gold complex

2022

Abstract Creatinine level in biological fluids is a clinically relevant parameter to monitor vital functions and it is well assessed that measuring creatinine levels in the human body can be of great utility to evaluate renal, muscular, or thyroid dysfunctions. The accurate detection of creatinine levels may have a critical role in providing information on health status and represents a tool for the early diagnosis of severe pathologies. Among different methods for creatinine detection that have been introduced and that are evolving with increasing speed, fluorescence-based and colorimetric sensors represent one of the best alternatives, thanks to their affordability, sensitivity and easy r…

Human Topoisomerase I interaction with DNA on flexible nylon substrate for malaria diagnosis

The study of interaction between human Topoisomerase I (hTopo I) and the appropriate sequences of DNA is shown, with the aim to realize a biosensor for malaria diagnosis. Topoisomerases alter the topological state of DNA by catalysing the breaking and rejoining of DNA strands1. The ligase activity is fundamental for our biosensing strategy, revealing the pathology. hTopo I was chosen as a model system for the Plasmodium analogous. The biosensor is a new flexible and easy to degrade biochip printed on nylon by dip-pen lithography (DPL). It is realized exploiting the high specificity of complementary ssDNA2 and hTopo I ligase activity. DPL operation needs ultra-low amounts of DNA (0.5 µL) to …
