Auto-Continuous Synthesis of Robust and Hydrophobic Silica Aerogel Microspheres from Low-Cost Aqueous Sodium Silicate for Fast Dynamic Organics Removal

open access: yesGels, 2022
An efficient auto-continuous globing process was developed with a self-built apparatus to synthesize pure silica aerogel microspheres (PSAMs) using sodium silicate as a precursor and water as a solvent. A hydrophobic silica aerogel microsphere (HSAM) was

Boosting Performance of Self-Polarized Fully Printed Piezoelectric Nanogenerators via Modulated Strength of Hydrogen Bonding Interactions

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2021
Self-polarized piezoelectric devices have attracted significant interest owing to their fabrication processes with low energy consumption. Herein, novel poling-free piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) based on self-polarized polyvinylidene difluoride ...

Hydrophilic and hydrophobic TiO2 coatings by pulsed electrophoretic deposition [PDF]

open access: yesProcessing and Application of Ceramics, 2022
Hydrophobic and hydrophilic coatings have been widely studied because of their functions such as anticorrosion and self-cleaning. In this study two different TiO2 suspensions, obtained by dispersing of hydrophilic and hydrophobic TiO2 particles in ...

Dissecting hydrophobicity [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
The perceived phobia (fear) of some apolar substances for aqueous (hydro) environments does not imply lack of attraction to water. Rather, it originates from the strength of this attraction, which, similar to that between the constituents of apolar substances, is smaller than the force between water molecules.

When is a hydrophobic gate not a hydrophobic gate?

open access: yesJournal of General Physiology, 2022
The flux of ions through a channel is most commonly regulated by changes that result in steric occlusion of its pore. However, ion permeation can also be prevented by formation of a desolvation barrier created by hydrophobic residues that line the pore.

Tapping the Role of Microbial Biosurfactants in Pesticide Remediation: An Eco-Friendly Approach for Environmental Sustainability

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Pesticides are used indiscriminately all over the world to protect crops from pests and pathogens. If they are used in excess, they contaminate the soil and water bodies and negatively affect human health and the environment.
