    Vapor Phase Solvatochromic Responses of Polydiacetylene Embedded Matrix Polymers
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017) Tu, Meng-Che; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Palaniappan, Alagappan; Liedberg, Bo; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The solvatochromic response of polydiacetylene (PDA) in the vapor phase is enabled upon incorporation with matrix polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyacrylic acid (PAA), and poly-4-vinylpyridine (P4VP). The matrix polymers provide a soft/gel-like framework for accommodating photopolymerized PDA, while facilitating its conformational alternations upon interaction with preconcentrated volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The matrix polymers enabled the differentiation of VOCs owing to their varying morphology, chemical affinity and solubility in VOCs. The ratios between PDA and the matrix polymers are optimized according to the obtained solvatochromic responses evaluated in varying temperature, humidity and storage conditions. As a proof of concept, a finger-print array for differentiation of 7 VOCs is demonstrated using matrix polymer-embedded PDA. The obtained results indicate that the response time and sensitivity of the proposed methodology supersedes previous reports on solvatochromic VOC assays. Furthermore, the proposed methodology would enable differentiation of a wide range of VOCs upon incorporation of additional matrix polymers with varying sorption properties.

    Polythiophene Derivative on Quartz Resonators for Mirna Capture and Assay
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Palaniappan, Al.; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Rajwar, Deepa; Ammanath, Gopal; Xiaohu, Liu; Seng Koon, Lim; Yi, Wang; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Liedberg, Bo; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    A novel approach for miRNA assay using a cationic polythiophene derivative, poly[3-(3′-N,N,N-triethylamino-1′-propyloxy)-4-methyl-2,5-thiophene hydrobromide] (PT), immobilized on a quartz resonator is proposed. The cationic PT enables capturing of all RNA sequences in the sample matrix via electrostatic interactions, resulting in the formation of PT-RNA duplex structures on quartz resonators. Biotinylated peptide nucleic acid (b-PNA) sequences are subsequently utilized for the RNA assay, upon monitoring the PT-RNA-b-PNA triplex formation. Signal amplification is achieved by anchoring avidin coated nanoparticles to b-PNA in order to yield responses at clinically relevant concentration regimes. Unlike conventional nucleic acid assay methodologies that usually quantify a specific sequence of RNA, the proposed approach enables the assay of any RNA sequence in the sample matrix upon hybridization with a PNA sequence complementary to the RNA of interest. As an illustration, successful detection of mir21, (a miRNA sequence associated with lung cancer) is demonstrated with a limit of detection of 400 pM. Furthermore, precise quantification of mir21 in plasma samples is demonstrated without requiring PCR and sophisticated instrumentation.
