Synthesis and characterization of FITC-aminated agarose as highly-fluorescent labeling agent

Zhang L., Huang J., Chu B., Tang S., Jinan University, CN

A new fluorescent agent, FITC labeling agarose is designed to determine whether it can act as an effective fluorescent labeling agent of cell or not. The degraded agarose reacted with 3-chloro-1, 2-epoxypropane in NaOH medium [...]

Improvement of electric energy density in PVDF terpolymer nanocomposites and blends

Chu B., Neese B., Lin M., Zhou X., Chen Q., Zhang Q.M., The Penn State University, US

Large enhancement in the electric energy density and electric displacement level were found in nanocomposites of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE-CFE) relaxor ferroelectric polymer/ZrO2 nanoparticles. Through the interface effect the presence of the nanoparticles (with only 1.6 [...]
