A polysulfobetaine hydrogel for immobilization of a glucose-binding protein
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article)A hydrogel based on sulfobetaine methacrylate monomer N-(methacryloyloxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium betaine and N,N-bis(methacryloyloxyethyl)-N-methyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium betaine used as a crosslinker ... -
Efficient Turbidity Removal Using a New Gel Filtration Process
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The removal of turbidity is a prime objective in the treatment of seawater, especially in the production of potable water. The water turbidity exists because of the colloidal particles or large-weight molecules that remain ... -
In vivo testing of novel nitric oxide-releasing nanoparticles for alleviating heart failure using the zebrafish embryo model
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Heart failure (HF) is a multifactorial, heterogeneous systemic disease that is considered one of the leading causes of death and morbidity worldwide. It is well-known that endothelial dysfunction (ED) plays an important ... -
Mussel-mimicking sulfobetaine-based copolymer with metal tunable gelation, self-healing and antibacterial capability
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)In the present study, the sulfobetaine-based copolymer bearing a dopamine functionality showed gel formation adjusted by the application of metal salts for gelation and various values of pH. Normally, the liquid-like ... -
Polyzwitterionic Hydrogels in Engines Based on the Antipolyelectrolyte Effect and Driven by the Salinity Gradient
( American Chemical Society , 2019 , Article)In this paper, we propose and investigate an original approach to energy conversion based on polyzwitterionic hydrogels, which exhibit an antipolyelectrolyte effect that enables them to swell in salt water and shrink in ...
