In this work, three cyanoalkyl silicone GC stationary-phase polymers, namely OV-105, OV-225, and OV-275, were investigated as potential extractants for dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME). The OV-225 polymer (cyanopropylmethyl-phen...
New medical devices with anti-inflammatory properties are critical to prevent inflammatory processes and infections in medical/surgical procedures. In this work, we present a novel functionalization of silicone for medical use with a polymeric prodru...
The miniaturization of gas chromatography (GC) systems has made it possible to utilize the analytical technique in various on-site applications to rapidly analyze complex gas samples. Various types of miniaturized sensors have been developed for micr...
Thermochemical depolymerization of polymer mixtures and composite materials is challenging due to non-additive degradation behavior and the emergence of new reaction pathways during pyrolysis. Both polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and silicone rubber (...
Silicon stands out as an exceptionally viable anode material, distinguished by its substantial capacity, plentiful natural reserves, eco-friendliness, and favorable low working potential. Nonetheless, the material’s pronounced volume fluctuatio...
The cationic emulsion polymerization of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) in mixtures with methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) and vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) was studied by FTIR ATR, GC, the development of a toluene insoluble fraction of the polymer and a...
Thermal degradation of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based silicone sealants was investigated using evolved gas analysis (EGA) for rapid temperature screening, combined with multistep pyrolysis gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection. The...
A conventional approach to making miniature or microscale gas chromatography (GC) components relies on silicon as a base material and MEMS fabrication as manufacturing processes. However, these devices often fail in medium-to-high temperature applica...
