Purpose This paper aims to review the potential application of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in diagnosis of dengue virus (DENV-2) E-protein and the development of SPR to become an alternative DENV sensor. Design/methodology/approach In this review, the existing standard laboratory techniques to diagnosis of DENV are discussed, together with their drawbacks. To overcome these drawbacks, SPR has been aimed to be a valuable optical biosensor for identification of antibodies to the DENV antigen. The review also includes the future studies on three-dimensional poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer-surface-assembled monolayer (SAM)-Au multilayer thin films, which are envisaged to have high potential sensitive and selective detection ability toward target E-proteins. Findings Application of SPR in diagnosis of DENV emerged over recent years. A wide range of immobilized biorecognition molecules have been developed to combine with SPR as an effective sensor. The detection limit, sensitivity and selectivity of SPR sensing in DENV have been enhanced from time to time, until the present. Originality/value The main purpose of this review is to provide authors with up-to-date and useful information on sensing DENV using SPR and to introduce a novel three-dimensional PAMAM-SAM-Au multilayer thin films for future research on SPR sensing applications.

ABSTRACTThe high resolution capability of the JEOL JSM-890 In Lens Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (ILFESEM) is used for the routine determination of both film thicknesses and surface morphologies from a single sample. This single sample approach is possible because of the 0.7 nm resolution of the instrument, and the simple sample preparation. In many cases, the desired information can be obtained from a simple cleave of the sample.

Activation energies for the intermixing reaction of textured metal-metal multilayer thin films have been determined using X-ray diffraction analysis. Kinetic data were collected utilizing an area detector so as to reduce intensity bias from changes in out-of-plane texture during the intermixing reaction. Activation energies for Al/Pt, Ni/Ti, and Co/Al metal-metal multilayer thin films have been determined as 95.4(2) kJ/mol, 201(13) kJ/mol, and 247(19) kJ/mol, respectively.

We review here the self-assembly, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties of 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa(2-benzyloxyethoxy) phthalocyaninato copper ( CuPc ( OC 2 OBz )8), where terminal benzyl groups on the eight ethylene oxide side chains assist in forming unusually ordered, mechanically rigid thin films. New spectroscopic characterization of cast CuPc ( OC 2 OBz )8 films is discussed in comparison with cast films of its metal-free analogue H 2 Pc ( OC 2 OBz )8 and similar copper and dihydrogen phthalocyanines with benzyl — terminated triethylene oxide substituents, CuPc (( OC 2 O )3 Bz )8, and H 2 Pc (( OC 2 O )3 Bz )8, which do not demonstrate the same degree of ordering as CuPc ( OC 2 OBz )8. AFM studies of horizontally transferred LB films of CuPc ( OC 2 OBz )8 show column–column distances of ca 2.8 nm and confirm the high degree of ordering previously surmised from spectroscopic characterization of multilayer thin films. The oxidative electrochemistry of multilayer thin films prepared from these Pcs is strongly dependent on the chemical identity of the supporting electrolyte anion and on annealing of the thin films. Compliance of the films to counter-ion transport limits the extent of electrochemical doping. Preliminary studies of the oxidative electrochemistry of isolated CuPc ( OC 2 OBz )8 aggregates (diluted into an electroinactive methyl arachidate thin film) on an electroactive, integrated optic waveguide (EA-IOW) are also presented. Monitoring the change in absorbance at 633 nm on the waveguide surface allows the determination of the onset potential for oxidation of the isolated aggregates, which appears to be less positive in potential versus that observed for multilayer Pc assemblies.
