TL;DR: In this paper, a triblock copolymer epoxidized with 47 mol % degree of epoxidation (eSBS47) by hydrogen peroxide in a water/dichloroethane biphasic system was blended with epoxy based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) as a curing agent.
Abstract: Styrene-block-butadiene-block-styrene (SBS) triblock copolymer epoxidized with 47 mol % degree of epoxidation (eSBS47) by hydrogen peroxide in a water/dichloroethane biphasic system was blended with epoxy based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) as a curing agent. The amounts of eSBS in the blends were 10 and 20 wt %. The evolution of the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the cured blends at different cure times was analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to understand the thermal behavior of epoxy system under dynamic conditions in the presence of eSBS. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed core–shell nanodomains of eSBS dispersed in the epoxy matrix. The relationship between rheology and phase separation was carefully explored. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) validated the nanophase-separated structure of the eSBS47-modified epoxy system. Upon addition of eSBS47 to the epoxy system, the fracture toughness of the nanost...

TL;DR: The vertical alignment of ZnO nanorods as well as its surface modification by CuO nanoparticles increased the effective surface area of the device and the formation of p-CuO/n-ZnO junction at the interface are the reasons for the improved performance at room temperature.
Abstract: The development of room temperature gas sensors having response towards a specific gas is attracting researchers nowadays in the field. In the present work, room temperature (29 °C) ethanol sensor based on vertically aligned ZnO nanorods decorated with CuO nanoparticles was successfully fabricated by simple cost effective solution processing. The heterojunction sensor exhibits better sensor parameters compared to pristine ZnO. The response of the heterojunction sensor to 50 ppm ethanol is, at least, 2-fold higher than the response of the ZnO bare sensor. Also the response and recovery time of ZnO/CuO sensor to 50 ppm ethanol are of 9 and 420 s whereas the values are 16 and 510 s respectively for ZnO sensor. The vertical alignment of ZnO nanorods as well as its surface modification by CuO nanoparticles increased the effective surface area of the device and the formation of p-CuO/n-ZnO junction at the interface are the reasons for the improved performance at room temperature. In addition to ethanol, the fabricated device has the capability to detect the presence of reducing gases like hydrogen sulfide and ammonia at room temperature.

TL;DR: HIV infection did not affect the alfa-interferon treatment response of chronic hepatitis C, and response could be achieved among HIV-coinfected patients, which suggests a need to study whether HIV infection is associated with a worsening course of Chronic hepatitis C.
