TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SERS-active, superhydrophobic and ivy-like nanostructured films of a molecular semiconductor, α,ω-diperfluorohexylquaterthiophene (DFH-4T), can be easily fabricated by vapour deposition and the fundamental roles of the π-conjugated core fluorocarbon substitution and the unique DFH- 4T film morphology governing the SERS response are demonstrated.

TL;DR: Recently, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is considered as one of the most reliable, sensitive and selective techniques for non-destructive molecular analysis through the amplification of electromagnetic fields and/or creation of charge transfer states between the chemisorbed analyte molecule and SERS active platform.

TL;DR: In this paper, free-radical polymerization in aqueous solution from N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA)-co-AAm monomers was used as a crosslinker and the diffusion coefficients of these hydrogels were calculated for the Fickian mechanism.

TL;DR: It was observed that after 40th use in 5 days, the retained activities for covalently immobilized and entrapped lipases were found as 39% and 22%, respectively, as a result of immobilization procedures.

TL;DR: Hydrogels imprinted with BSA showed higher adsorption capacity and specificity for BSA than hydrogels prepared by the usual procedure and other stimuli, such as pH, temperature and initial BSA concentration also influenced the BSA adsorptive capacity of both non-imprinted and imprinted hydrogel systems.
