A multidisciplinary approach for the physic-chemical characterization of peloids to new perspectives in the development for "hydrothermal Developing Countries" using partecipatory methodology [PDF]
The Osservatorio Termale Permanente (OTP) operated from 1996 to 2014 in the Italian and international therapeutic thermalism field. The main aim of OTP was the development of a multidisciplinary approach for the characterization of the quality of peloids

By testing electrospun fibers with different compositions, it is found that the best predictor of water stickiness is not the equilibrium angle but the difference between angles as water moves. The study also suggests that a tensiometer is a more practical method for studying fibrous mats, offering new insights for designing advanced materials ...

Uncovering behavioural diversity amongst high-strength Pseudomonas spp. surfactants at the limit of liquid surface tension reduction [PDF]
Bacterial biosurfactants have a wide range of biological functions and biotechnological applications. Previous analyses had suggested a limit to their reduction of aqueous liquid surface tensions (γ Min), and here we confirm this in an analysis of 25 ...

Films of bacteria at interfaces: three stages of behaviour
Bacterial attachment to a fluid interface can lead to the formation of a film with physicochemical properties that evolve with time. We study the time evolution of interface (micro)mechanics for interfaces between oil and bacterial suspensions by ...

Role of interfacial tension for the structure of PEP-PEO polymeric micelles. A combined SANS and pendant drop tensiometry investigation [PDF]
We investigated the influence of interfacial tension, gamma, on the micellization properties of a highly asymmetric poly(ethylene-co-propylene)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEP-PEO) block copolymer in mixed solvents consisting of water and dimethyl form ami de (

The supergravity and in‐situ evaporation are utilized to produce GO thin films with a record‐high mechanical strength of 540 MPa. The supergravity confines the 2D flakes within a very thin layer and creates a large all‐directional shear stress to induce the superalignment, while in‐situ evaporation accelerates the dehydration and facilitates the ester ...
