‘Lab on a chip’ Label Free Protein Sensor Systems Based on Polystyrene Bead and Nanofibrous Solid Supports

Kunduru V., Prasad S., Patra P.K., Sengupta S., Portland State University, US

Polystyrene bead and electrospun polystyrene nanofibers are employed as subjects of study in this protein biomarker sensor. The study is conducted to compare the sensitivity and efficiency of the polystyrene nanofibers and microspheres as protein [...]

Effects of interface on the physical properties of nanoparticle-filled composites

Jang K.H., Kim B.C., Hanyang University, KR

The effects of interface affinity on the rheological responses of nanoparticle suspended polymer solutions were investigated. The polarity on rheological properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle filled-polymer solution was investigated for polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polystyrene [...]

Glass Transition Temperature of High Molecular Weight Polystyrene: Effect of Particle Size, Bulk to Micron to Nano

Paik P., Kar K.K., Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, IN

High Molecular weight nano/micron sized polystyrene (Mv=1X106) was prepared by styrene and hydrogen peroxide. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements indicated that the particles matched with that of the polymer single [...]
