TL;DR: The modified sensor chip showed an increasing SPR angle in response to dopamine concentration, which agrees with the expected sensing mechanism and the analyte binding process and the consequent swelling appeared to be reversible, allowing one the repeated use of the presented sensor chip.

TL;DR: The combination of molecular imprinting and the Au nanoparticle-based sensing system was shown to be a general strategy for constructing sensing materials in a tailor-made fashion due to wide applicability of the imprinting technique and the independence of the sensing mechanism from the analyte recognition system.

TL;DR: The nanocomposite particles functioned as an efficient catalyst for Suzuki-type coupling reactions in aqueous media for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds.

TL;DR: In this article, a photomask-based fabrication of circuit patterns on polyimide resins is described, which relies on potassium hydroxide-induced chemical modification of the polyimides surface to introduce carboxylic acid groups and incorporation of silver ions through subsequent ion exchange followed by UV-irradiation-induced photochemical reaction.

TL;DR: In this paper, a polypyrrole-coated silver nanocomposite particles were synthesized by one-step aqueous chemical oxidative dispersion polymerization of pyrrole using silver nitrate as an oxidant.
