The group of YU Jian has prepared a sulfobetaine-type amphiphilic ionic nanohydrogel graft modified PVDF porous membrane. The amphiphilic ionic nanohydrogel has a size of ~50 nm, which contributes to the rapid wetting and water absorption of the nanohydrogel, thereby imparting super-hydrophilic properties. Since the amphiphilic ionic nanohydrogel has both high water retention properties and […]
A group around LI Yuliang at CAS QIBEBT has introduced fluorine atoms into the structure of graphene. By fluorine substitution, the pores of the graphene alkene were enlarged, but the basic framework of the graphene and the conjugate system in the two-dimensional planar structure were retained. The new material had excellent conductivity and carrier transport […]
The group of YANG Chaoyong at Renji Hospital associated to Shanghai Jiaotong University has developed a microfluidic device (FETAL chip) which achieves separation of fetal cells from 2 ml samples of pregnant women’s peripheral blood followed by immunoassays of surface markers which are relevant for a wide range of genetic abnormalities. The device is claimed […]
