Synthesis, Modification, and Application of Siloxane Materials for Environmental Sensing

As human populations and resource consumption increase, it is increasingly important to monitor the quality of our environment. While laboratory instruments offer useful information, portable, easy to use sensors would allow environmental analysis to occur on-site, at lower cost, and with minimal operator training. We explore the synthesis, modification, and applications of modified polysiloxane in environmental sensing. Multiple methods of producing modified siloxanes were investigated. Oligomers were formed by using functionalized monomers, producing siloxane materials containing silicon hydride, methyl, and phenyl side chains. Silicon hydride-functionalized oligomers were further modified by hydrosilylation to incorporate methyl ester and naphthyl side chains. Modifications to the siloxane materials were also carried out using post-curing treatments. Methyl ester-functionalized siloxane was incorporated into the surface of a cured poly(dimethylsiloxane) film by siloxane equilibration. The materials containing methyl esters were hydrolyzed to reveal carboxylic acids, which could later be used for covalent protein immobilization. Finally, the siloxane surfaces were modified to incorporate antibodies by covalent, affinity, and adsorption-based attachment. These modifications were characterized by a variety of methods, including contact angle, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dye labels, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The modified siloxane materials were employed in a variety of sensing schemes. Volatile organic compounds were detected using methyl, phenyl, and naphthyl-functionalized materials on a Fabry-Perot interferometer and a refractometer. The Fabry-Perot interferometer was found to detect the analytes upon siloxane extraction by deformation of the Bragg reflectors. The refractometer was used to determine that naphthyl-functionalized siloxanes had elevated refractive indices, rendering these materials more sensitive to some analytes. Antibody-modified siloxanes were used to detect biological analytes through a solid phase microextraction-mediated enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (SPME ELISA). The SPME ELISA was found to have higher analyte sensitivity compared to a conventional ELISA system. The detection scheme was used to detect Escherichia coli at 8500 CFU/mL. These results demonstrate the variety of methods that can be used to modify siloxanes and the wide range of applications of modified siloxanes has been demonstrated through chemical and biological sensing schemes.

Influência da localização geográfica de produção nas propriedades de mirtilos 'Vaccinium Corymbosum L.' cv Bluecrop

Os antioxidantes na dieta podem ter um papel importante na prevenção de algumas doenças crónicas em seres humanos resultantes da oxidação de lípidos e outros componentes celulares por radicais livres. Os mirtilos (Vaccinium sp.) são considerados, de entre os frutos frescos, uma das melhores fontes de antioxidantes. Neste trabalho foram estudados mirtilos Nothern Highbush, da cultivar Bluecrop colhidos no estado de maturação comercial em 5 localizações diferentes: Bouças -Sever do Vouga, Estarreja, Queirã – Vouzela, Oliveira do Hospital e Vila Verde. Foram avaliadas as características físico-químicas (ºbrix, acidez, humidade, calibre, firmeza, elasticidade e parâmetros colorimétricos) dos frutos. Para a determinação da composição fenólica e a atividade antioxidante os mirtilos foram submetidos a extrações sucessivas, com metanol (2x) e depois 2 vezes com uma solução aquosa de acetona (40% v/v), durante 1 h, com o auxílio de um banho de ultrassons. Os extratos obtidos foram utilizados para a determinação da composição fenólica (compostos fenólicos totais, antocianinas e taninos) e da capacidade antioxidante (utilizando os métodos ABTS, DPPH e FRAP). Foi ainda avaliada a influência da conservação durante 6 meses a -20ºC no teor de compostos fenólicos e capacidade antioxidante dos frutos. Pelos resultados obtidos, nos parâmetros de textura avaliados a amostra BBO revelou maior firmeza e elasticidade, e na avaliação da cor a amostra BES apresentou uma tonalidade azul mais acentuada. Os mirtilos provenientes de Estarreja eram os mais ricos em compostos fenólicos totais, em antocianinas e taninos, e que também apresentavam maior atividade antioxidante. O armazenamento durante 6 meses a -20ºC, originou diferenças significativas nas antocianinas e na atividade antioxidante. Em geral as amostras apresentavam diferenças significativas tanto nas suas propriedades físico-químicas, como na composição fenólica e na atividade antioxidante.

Being young in a changing world: how temperature and salinity changes interactively modify the performance of larval stages of the barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus

The fate of key species, such as the barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus, in the course of global change is of particular interest since any change in their abundance and/or performance may entail community-wide effects. In the fluctuating Western Baltic, species typically experience a broad range of environmental conditions, which may preselect them to better cope with climate change. In this study, we examined the sensitivity of two crucial ontogenetic phases (naupliar, cypris) of the barnacle toward a range of temperature (12, 20, and 28°C) and salinity (5, 15, and 30 psu) combinations. Under all salinity treatments, nauplii developed faster at intermediate and high temperatures. Cyprid metamorphosis success, in contrast, was interactively impacted by temperature and salinity. Survival of nauplii decreased with increasing salinity under all temperature treatments. Highest settlement rates occurred at the intermediate temperature and salinity combination, i.e., 20°C and 15 psu. Settlement success of "naive" cyprids, i.e., when nauplii were raised in the absence of stress (20°C/15 psu), was less impacted by stressful temperature/salinity combinations than that of cyprids with a stress history. Here, settlement success was highest at 30 psu particularly at low and high temperatures. Surprisingly, larval survival was not highest under the conditions typical for the Kiel Fjord at the season of peak settlement (20°C/15 psu). The proportion of nauplii that ultimately transformed to attached juveniles was, however, highest under these "home" conditions. Overall, only particularly stressful combinations of temperature and salinity substantially reduced larval performance and development. Given more time for adaptation, the relatively smooth climate shifts predicted will probably not dramatically affect this species.
