In this paper properties of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) complexes with originally proposed cationic surfactants are described. Properties of prepared complexes were studied with the help of UV-vis-NIR and FT-IR spectroscopies, TGA and DSC analysis and X-ray diffractometry. These complexes are intended for future applications in organic electronics.
This review is accumulating the information about biodamages and protection of textile materials and fibers. The contributors made a special emphasis on the problems of cotton fiber biodamaging, bast fiber biodamaging, biodamaging of artificial fibers, wool fiber biodamaging, change of structure and properties of wool fibers by microorganisms, and on the methods of textile material protection against damaging by microorganisms. The authors are also discussing the mechanism the natural polymer materials degradation.
