Polyethylene Glycol Camouflaged Earthworm Hemoglobin. [PDF]
Nearly 21 million components of blood and whole blood and transfused annually in the United States, while on average only 13.6 million units of blood are donated. As the demand for Red Blood Cells (RBCs) continues to increase due to the aging population,

Diffusiophoresis in non-adsorbing polymer solutions: the Asakura-Oosawa model and stratification in drying films [PDF]
A colloidal particle placed in an inhomogeneous solution of smaller non-adsorbing polymers will move towards regions of lower polymer concentration, in order to reduce the free energy of the interface between the surface of the particle and the solution.

Growth of Nanosize and Colloid Particles by Controlled Addition of Singlets
We outline a theoretical framework for estimating the evolution of the particle size distribution in colloid and nanoparticle synthesis, when the primary growth mode is by externally controlled addition of singlet building blocks.

Continuum-based models and concepts for the transport of nanoparticles in saturated porous media: A state-of-the-science review [PDF]
Environmental applications of nanoparticles (NP) increasingly result in widespread NP distribution within porous media where they are subject to various concurrent transport mechanisms including irreversible deposition, attachment/detachment (equilibrium

Modeling Colloid‐Facilitated Contaminant Transport in the Vadose Zone
Subsurface colloids can enhance the movement of strongly sorbing contaminants, a phenomenon called colloid‐facilitated contaminant transport. In the presence of mobile subsurface colloids, contaminants may move faster and farther than in the absence of colloids, thereby bypassing the filter and buffer capacity of soils and sediments. Fate and transport

Colloid‐facilitated transport has been widely acknowledged as a significant contributor to surface water and groundwater pollution. Compared to water‐dissolved solutes, colloids are subject to a size exclusion effect (SEE) due to their inherent size when

Methods of using carbon nanotubes as filter media to remove aqueous heavy metals [PDF]
Although carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are well known to have a strong affinity to various heavy metals in aqueous solution, little research has been dedicated to exploit their use in fixed-bed water treatment systems (e.g., trickling filters).

Risk Predicting of Macropore Flow using Pedotransfer Functions, Textural Maps, and Modeling
Leaching of P to tile drains by colloid‐facilitated transport in macropores is an important pathway for P loss in structured soils. Macropore flow is the main transport route for many organic and inorganic pollutants, but macropore flow cannot currently ...

Functionalisation of colloidal transition metal sulphides nanocrystals: A fascinating and challenging playground for the chemist [PDF]
Metal sulphides, and in particular transition metal sulphide colloids, are a broad, versatile and exciting class of inorganic compounds which deserve growing interest and attention ascribable to the functional properties that many of them display.
