Quantum dot - molecularly imprinted polymer nanomaterials for the fluorescence sensing of selected pharmaceutical and personal care products
This research was aimed at fabricating and applying cadmium based core/shell quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescence probes for the detection in aquatic compartments of triclosan (TCS) and acetaminophen (AC) which fall within the pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) subclass of emerging …

The Mechanisms, Products, and Kinetics of Triclosan-Free Chlorine Reactions
The kinetics, products, and reaction pathways of triclosan/free chlorine reactions were investigated for the pH range 3.5-11. Although pH dependent speciation occurs in both triclosan and free chlorine, only the reaction between HOCl and the phenolate-triclosan was found to play a significant role …
