Are Grignard Reactions in Deep Eutectic Solvents Interface-Driven? [PDF]
Experimental and molecular dynamics studies of acetophenone, alongside a computational analysis of i‐PrMgCl in a biphasic ChCl:2Gly DES/THF solution, offer valuable insights into the remarkable efficiency of the Grignard reaction under these conditions.

Bio-Based Surfactants via Borrowing Hydrogen Catalysis. [PDF]
A borrowing hydrogen approach to produce bio‐based surfactants is described. Using amino acids and common alcohols without protecting groups, surfactants are synthesized in one step with a ruthenium catalyst, achieving nearly ideal atom economy, including Gemini surfactants and a quaternary ammonia salt, with remarkable surfactant properties and ...

Stirring Without Stirrers: Polymer Fouling-Driven Mass Transport Unlocks Order-of-Magnitude Gain in Electrochemiluminescence. [PDF]
Strategic electrode fouling enhances mass transport, primarily through electrochemically actuated lateral density gradients. Engineered fouling induces flow velocities up to 0.4 cm s⁻¹ in otherwise quiescent systems. Sub‐millimeter plastic features boost local rates by up to 290%, while micrometer‐scale arrays yield a 30% net electrolysis gain ...

Innovative Real-Time Flow Sensor Using Detergent-Free Complex Emulsions with Dual-Emissive Semi-Perfluoroalkyl Substituted Α-Cyanostilbene. [PDF]
A semi‐perfluoroalkyl substituted amphiphilic α‐cyanostilbene, CNFCPEG, exhibits intriguing aggregation‐dependent dual fluorescence properties, blue and green emission at low and high aggregation levels, respectively. Complex emulsions with CNFCPEG are stable without external surfactants and show morphology‐dependent emission at the fluorocarbon/water ...

Composition, microstructure, rheology, and meltdown behavior of commercial nondairy frozen desserts. [PDF]
Abstract The demand for nondairy and plant‐based products has increased, but there is still a need for more information about and improvement in these products, especially when it comes to frozen desserts. Similar to ice cream, which simultaneously is an emulsion, dispersion, and foam, nondairy frozen desserts also have a complex structure.

Effect of Amplitude on the Surface Dilational Visco-Elasticity of Protein Solutions
Harmonic drop surface area oscillations are performed at a fixed frequency (0.1 Hz) to measure the dilational visco-elasticity for three proteins: β-casein (BCS), β-lactoglobulin (BLG), and human serum albumin (HSA).

Controlling nonspecific protein adsorption in a plug-based microfluidic system by controlling interfacial chemistry using fluorous-phase surfactants [PDF]
Control of surface chemistry and protein adsorption is important for using microfluidic devices for biochemical analysis and high-throughput screening assays. This paper describes the control of protein adsorption at the liquid-liquid interface in a plug-
