Surface Roughness and Its Role in Flotation Behavior, Wettability, and Bubble–Particle Interactions: A Systematic Review

Applied Sciences
Surface roughness refers to the micron- or nanometer-scale irregularities (bumps and grooves) on material surfaces, and it varies greatly as particles are refined, affecting their flotation behavior, wettability, and bubble–particle interactions. In this

Bistable Wetting States on a Smooth Surface

Advanced Materials Interfaces
Droplets on a non‐textured surface typically exhibit a monostable wetting state, as represented by Young state. Here, we show that droplets can exhibit bistability without surface texture by tuning molecular interactions.

Uptake of Sulfadiazine Sulfonamide from Water by Clinoptilolite

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2013
The interactions between sulfadiazine (SDZ), a sulfonamide antibiotic, and clinoptilolite, a hydrophilic zeolite, were investigated under batch experimental conditions. The uptake of SDZ on the zeolite followed a linear sorption isotherm under neutral pH

Identification of the fractions responsible for plant root elongation-promoting and antioxidant activities of humic product extracted from composted wood thinnings

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background HS-2®Pro, a humic product, is produced from composted thinnings of coniferous trees and is commercially available as a biostimulant. In this study, it was fractionated into humic acid (HA), hydrophobic fulvic acid (FA), hydrophilic FA, and ...

Role of long- and short-range hydrophobic, hydrophilic and charged residues contact network in protein’s structural organization

BMC Bioinformatics, 2012
Background The three-dimensional structure of a protein can be described as a graph where nodes represent residues and the strength of non-covalent interactions between them are edges.

Protein‐Inspired Polymers with Tunable Microphase Structures toward Autonomous Self‐Healing in Aqueous Environments

Advanced Materials Interfaces
The self‐healing of polymer materials in aqueous environments remains a significant challenge. Herein, a protein‐inspired strategy for hydrophobic/hydrophilic‐induced microphase separation is proposed to construct self‐healing polymers in an aqueous ...

Soil organic matter components and characteristics of forest soil in spruce and sycamore plantations in the temperate region

Discover Agriculture
The stability of soil organic matter (SOM) that governs soil organic carbon (SOC) storage depends on its characteristics and components, but little is known about how tree species in forest ecosystems affect SOM components and characteristics.

A rapid hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatographic determination of glimepiride in pharmaceutical formulations

Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal, 2017
Glimepiride is one of the most widely prescribed antidiabetic drugs and contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic functional groups in its molecules, and thus could be analyzed by either reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or ...

Hydrophobic Interactions Drive the Attachment of a Model Nanoplastic on Porous Media Surfaces

Water Resources Research
Predicting the transport and fate of nanoparticles in the subsurface requires understanding of their interactions with collector surfaces. We report here on the effect of the less‐studied hydrophobic interactions, which are relevant to the fate of ...

Flavonoid-membrane Interactions: A Protective Role of Flavonoids at the Membrane Surface?

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2005
Flavonoids can exert beneficial health effects through multiple mechanisms. In this paper, we address the important, although not fully understood, capacity of flavonoids to interact with cell membranes.
