Photothermally induced optical property changes of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel-based etalons
Download2015
Islam, Molla R., Irvine, Jessica, Serpe, Michael J.
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel-based optical devices were designed such that they can be stimulated to change their optical properties in response to light produced by a light-emitting diode (LED). The devices were fabricated by sandwiching the synthesized microgels between two Cr/Au layers...

Protein interactions with glycolipids are implicated in diverse cellular processes. However, the study of protein–glycolipid complexes remains a significant experimental challenge. Here, we describe a powerful new assay that combines electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and...

Parasuraman, Deepika, Leung, Edmund, Serpe, Michael J.
Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgel based assemblies (aggregates) were synthesized from microgels of various diameters via polymerization of the crosslinker N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) in the presence of microgels in solution. We investigated the ability of...

Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel-based etalons and etalon arrays for determining the molecular weight of polymers in solution

Serpe, Michael J., Islam, Molla R.
Positively and/or negatively charged poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-based microgels were deposited on a single substrate and isolated regions of Au overlayers were deposited on top of the microgels. Each spatially isolated Au overlayer region had a different thickness to make an etalon array. We...

Poly (N‐isopropylacrylamide) microgel‐based etalons for determining the concentration of ethanol in gasoline
Download2015-01-01
A device composed of a poly (N‐isopropylacrylamide)‐based microgel layer sandwiched between two thin gold layers was used as a platform for determining the amount of ethanol in gasoline (octane number of 87). This device, also known as an etalon, has unique optical properties, which depend on the...

Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) is one of the most completely studied “smart” polymers due to its unique reversible thermoresponsivity. That is, when pNIPAm in water is heated > ~31°C, it transits from a random coil to a globule conformation; this transition is reversed when T < ~31°C. This...

Jiang, Yaxin, Colazo, Marcos G., Serpe, Michael J.
A novel estradiol-17β (E2) biosensor was constructed from poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgel-based etalons by modification of their outermost Au layer with an E2 binding 75-mer DNA aptamer. When E2 is not present in the solution, the aptamer forms a loose/linear structure that allows...

Optical sensors for environmental humidity have been constructed from poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgels. The devices were constructed by first depositing a monolithic layer of pNIPAm-co-AAc microgels on a Au-coated glass substrate followed by the addition of...
