The surface evolution of the D-passivated surface was followed by contact angle measurements, spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared absorption spectroscopy (IR), surface potential and surface photovoltage (SPV) mapping and light induced potential transient method.
The surface morphologies, chemical compositions, charge, pH, and mechanical properties of these smart microgels were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, IR, zeta potential measurements, pH evaluation, and quantitative nanomechanical mapping, respectively.
Goals of the entomological surveillance team were to (1) implicate the vector(s) based on isolation of virus from field-collected specimens and (2) determine the infection rate (IR) in potential vector species.
Insulin resistance was defined by homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) of at least 2.5, and HOMA-IR and potential confounders were compared between the groups.
Additionally, the extracellular reduction mechanism was examined by Fourier transformation-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), zeta potential (Z-pot) and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).
The studied CEIN samples were characterized (TEM, FT-IR, Zeta potential, Boehm titration) and examined as raw and purified nanomaterials with various surface chemistry composition.
The binding of PEG-b-PVBP onto the iron oxide nanoparticle surface and the subsequent formation of a PEG brush layer were proved by FT-IR, zeta potential, and thermogravimetric measurements.
HA powder is synthesized and used for preparation of HA/ethanol suspension which is subsequently characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), zeta potential and particle size analyses.
Based on the results of in-situ FT-IR three potential reaction pathways for soot combustion have been revealed, namely the direct soot oxidation, nitrate-enhanced soot oxidation and NO2-assisted soot oxidation.
