2007-391 Polyanaline Nanofibers as Hydrogen Sensors

SUMMARYProfessor Kaner and colleagues have developed a method for sensing hydrogen using polyaniline nanofiber material. The approach utilizes detectable conductivity changes in the nanofiber material when exposed to hydrogen gas. This polyaniline sensor has advantages over traditional palladium-based sensors in that its phase change for detection is...

Enantioseparation of Amino Acids Using a Chiral Recognition Polymer

Case 1998-601BACKGROUNDEnantioseparations are becoming increasingly important because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has declared if a drug is chiral, the biological effects of both enantiomers must be determined. Many procedures for resolutions of D, L-amino acids have been documented on an analytical scale. The limitations of these methods...
