In the present work, biocompatible polyurethane (PU) and PU – based nanocomposites (PUENs) of different composition have been synthesized from hydroxylated olive oil- based polyurethane and eggshell powder as filler. The synthesized polyurethane nanocomposites are characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM and XRDanalysis. The chemical resistance and biodegradability of the PUENs have been studied in different chemical environments. SEM analysis confirms the incorporation of eggshell powder into the polyurethane matrix. TheXRD study reveals that the intensity of the peak increases from 90 to 137 cts with the increase in crystallinity. The chemical resistance shows the swelling and degradation of the PUENs at higher concentration of the HCl and NaOH. Insoil burial degradation method 13 %-18% of weight loss is observed in PUEN3 and PUEN4. The hemolytic rate of PUEN4 is <2% at 10 to 40µg/ml showing non-hemolysis, implies better hemocompatibility of the sample.

Cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites were prepared by simple solution-mixing route and characterized by Raman, UV–visible and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The XRD pattern and SEM analysis showed significant changes in the nanocomposite structures, and the FT-IR spectroscopy results confirmed the chemical interaction between the GO filler and the PVA matrix. After these morphological characterizations, PVA-GO-based diodes were fabricated and their electrical properties were characterized using current–voltage (I–V) and impedance-voltage-frequency (Z-V-f) measurements at room temperature. Semilogarithmic I–V characteristics of diode showed a good rectifier behavior. The values of C and G/[Formula: see text] increased with decreasing frequency due to the surface/interface states (N[Formula: see text]) which depend on the relaxation time and the frequency of the signal. The voltage, dependent profiles of N[Formula: see text] and series resistance (R[Formula: see text]) were obtained from the methods of high-low frequency capacitance and Nicollian and Brews, respectively. The obtained values of N[Formula: see text] and R[Formula: see text] were attributed to the use of cross-linked PVA-GO interlayer at the Au/n-Si interface.

In recent decades, vibrational spectroscopic methods such as Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy are widely applied to investigate plasma and serum samples. These methods are combined with drop coating deposition techniques to pre-concentrate the biomolecules in the dried droplet to improve the detected vibrational signal. However, most often encountered challenge is the inhomogeneous redistribution of biomolecules due to the coffee-ring effect. In this study, the variation in biomolecule distribution within the dried-sample droplet has been investigated using Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging method. The plasma-sample from healthy donors were investigated to show the spectral differences between the inner and outer-ring region of the dried-sample droplet. Further, the preferred location of deposition of the most abundant protein albumin in the blood during the drying process of the plasma has been illustrated by using deuterated albumin. Subsequently, two patients with different cardiac-related diseases were investigated exemplarily to illustrate the variation in the pattern of plasma and serum biomolecule distribution during the drying process and its impact on patient-stratification. The study shows that a uniform sampling position of the droplet, both at the inner and the outer ring, is necessary for thorough clinical characterization of the patient’s plasma and serum sample using vibrational spectroscopy.
