INFLUENCE OF LIGAND FUNCTIONALIZATION OF UIO-66-BASED METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS WHEN USED AS SORBENTS IN DISPERSIVE SOLID-PHASE ANALYTICAL MICROEXTRACTION FOR DIFFERENT AQUEOUS ORGANIC POLLUTANTS

Influence of Ligand Functionalization of UiO-66-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks When Used as Sorbents in Dispersive Solid-Phase Analytical Microextraction for Different Aqueous Organic Pollutants

Four metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), specifically UiO-66, UiO-66-NH2, UiO-66-NO2, and MIL-53(Al), were synthesized, characterized, and used as sorbents in a dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (D-µSPE) method for the determination of nine pollutants of different nature, including drugs, phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and perso

Examination of the Reliability of a Robustness Test for the Self-Directed Channel Carbon-Based Memristors by Reading Their DC Resistance

An ideal memristor that has been theoretically predicted almost a half-century ago is a nonlinear power dissipating circuit element.Nowadays, memristive systems such as thin films which are not ideal memristors are also called memristors.Such systems have current-dependent behavior and nonlinear charge-dependent electrical resistance.Self-directed
