6-Deoxy-6-fluoro sugar oxazoline derivatives were synthesized and evaluated their polymerizabilities with the catalysis of chitinase. The polymerizability of an
N-acetyl-6-deoxy-6-fluoroglucosamine oxazoline was lower than that of non-fluorinated
N-acetylglucosamine oxazoline, only providing the ring-opened hydrolyzate. The disaccharide oxazoline derivative of
N,
N′-diacetyl-6′-deoxy-6′-fluorochitobiose exhibited lower polymerizability with the enzyme compared to that of the non-fluorinated
N,
N′-diacetylchitobiose oxazoline, providing the corresponding fluorinated chitin derivative in good yields within 4 h. These results suggest that the fluorine atom-incorporation reduced the reactivity of the oxazolines.

The uniformity and chemical stability of Ta formed by ion-beam sputtering contributed to the precise replication of the fine structures of the 2D array of ferritin molecules.

The mass-transfer process of oxygen from the PDMS substrate to the tip electrode is diffusion limited, whereas the oxygen permeability of PDMS subjected to oxygen plasma treatment or albumin adsorption is critically restricted. Our results suggest that the oxygen permeability of PDMS is possibly affected by O
