Colloids and Interfaces, 2023 The wettability of quartz by different liquids and solutions plays a very important role in practical applications. Hence, the wetting behaviour of ethanol (ET), rhamnolipid (RL) and Triton X-165 (TX165) aqueous solutions with regard to the quartz ...

Colloids and Interfaces, 2021 Surfactants derived from renewable sources such as plants are an ecological alternative to synthetic surfactants. Aqueous solutions of natural surfactants extracted from soapnuts obtained from two plants, Sapindus mukorossi and Sapindus trifoliatus, were

Dynamic model of a non-equilibrium chemical composition formation in the shell of single neutron stars [PDF]
, 2021 The process of a non-equilibrium chemical composition formation in the crust of a new born neutron star is considered, during cooling due to neutrino energy losses. A model is constructed for explaining accumulation of a large quantity of nuclear energy, which can maintain the X-ray luminosity of such compact objects for a long period of time.

Optimization of Biodiesel Production Using Immobilized Candida Rugosa Lipase on Magnetic Fe3O4-Silica Aerogel [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2019 Hydrophobic magnetic silica aerogel was used as a support to immobilize Candida rugosa lipase by adsorption method. Physical and chemical properties of the support and immobilized lipase were determined by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope ...

Preparation and Surface Characterization of Chitosan-Based Coatings for PET Materials
Molecules, 2023 Poly(ethylene terephthalate)—PET—is one of the most frequently used polymers in biomedical applications. Due to chemical inertness, PET surface modification is necessary to gain specific properties, making the polymer biocompatible. The aim of this paper

The maximum energy dissipation principle and phenomenological cooperative and collective effects [PDF]
, 2010 The collective phenomena in physics and cooperative phenomena in biology/chemistry is compared in terms of the variational description. The maximum energy dissipation principle is employed and the cost-like functional is chosen according to an optimal control based formulation (Moroz, 2008; Moroz, 2009). Using this approach, the variational outline has

Quasi-chemical Theories of Associated Liquids [PDF]
Molec. Phys. 94, 909 (1998), 1998 It is shown how traditional development of theories of fluids based upon the concept of physical clustering can be adapted to an alternative local clustering definition. The alternative definition can preserve a detailed valence description of the interactions between a solution species and its near-neighbors, i.e., cooperativity and saturation of ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView., 2023 A novel method for tracking structural changes in gels using widely accessible microcomputed tomography is presented and validated for various hydro‐, alco‐, and aerogels. The core idea of the method is to track positions of micrometer‐sized tracer particles entrapped in the gel and relate them to the density of the gel network.

Anomalous Shift of Chemical Potential in the Double-Exchange Systems [PDF]
, 1997 Double-exchange system is investigated by the dynamical mean-field theory. We show that the chemical potential shifts as a function of temperature and magnetization, which is anomalously large. We also discuss the influences of dynamic Jahn-Teller effect to the shift of the chemical potential.
