Solid-State Colorimetric Biosensors Comprised Of Dendritic Polymer Networks
Solid-state colorimetric biosensors having sensory groups and interdendritic cross-linking segments of alternating conjugated double and triple bonds are prepared by intermolecular polymerization of diacetylene-functionalized dendritic polymer precursors. The polymerization process may be used to form solid films that are capable of indicating the presence of an analyte by a detectable change in color. The disclosed solid-state colorimetric biosensors may exhibit excellent stability at elevated temperatures and in the presence of organic solvents, and due to the dendritic architecture and high density of sensing functionality achieve high sensitivity to analytes.
Surface Modification Of Polyamide Reverse Osmosis Membranes
The present invention relates to surface modification of reverse osmosis membranes to introduce antifouling properties without compromising the separation properties of the original membranes. This approach utilizes: providing a coated membrane surface having enhanced hydrophilic characteristics that prevents the biofoulants from settling; have a surface that consists of hydrophilic brushes that unsettle any biofoulants that get through; and having antimicrobial ions present in the membrane coatings and able to remove or minimize any remaining biofoulants without leaching into the permeate. These coatings are made using dendritic polymers such as hyperbranched polymers or dendrimers.

Abstract:
This invention concerns a polymer coating material composition (PCM) comprising as components a polymer matrix, carbon nanotubes (CNT) as optical power limiters (OPL), and carbon rich molecules. One aspect of the invention is where the Polymer Matrix is a hyperbranched polymer, such as a hyperbranched polycarbosiloxane polymer. Another aspect of the invention is where the CNT is a short multiwall carbon nanotube (sMWNT). A further aspect of the invention is where the carbon-rich molecules are triethoxysilyl anthracene derivatives. The composition wherein the ratio in weight percent of Polymer Matrix to CNT to carbon-rich molecule is from 94:3:3 to 99.8:0.1:0.1. The composition can further contain one or more of multi-photon absorbers (MPA) chromophores or reverse saturable absorbers (RSA) chromophores. These compositions can be used as: a) a film, b) a coating, c) a liquid, d) a solution, or e) a sandwiched film between two transparent substrates.
