Hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance of proteins: a major determinant of cholesterol crystal formation in model bile.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
Biliary proteins are speculated to play an important role in modulating nucleation of cholesterol crystals from supersaturated gallbladder bile, acting either as pro- or antinucleating agents.

Four-states phase diagram of proteins

, 2005
A four states phase diagram for protein folding as a function of temperature and solvent quality is derived from an improved 2-d lattice model taking into account the temperature dependence of the hydrophobic effect.

Hydrophobic effect in the pressure-temperature plane [PDF]

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2004
The free energy of the hydrophobic hydration and the strength of the solvent-mediated attraction between hydrophobic solute molecules are calculated in the pressure-temperature plane. This is done in the framework of an exactly soluble model that is an extension of the lattice model proposed by Kolomeisky and Widom [A. B. Kolomeisky and B.

Duplex Stainless Steel Laser‐Surface Textured: Stability in Brine Solution

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Controlled laser‐surface treatment (LST) of duplex DSS2205 steel is performed to increase its stability in brine solution under cyclic electrochemical assays. The superior protection with respect to flat and smooth panels is attributed to the presence of FeCr2O4 as the main protective oxide layer in the LST surface, after corrosion tests. The stability

Influence of Sample Preparation and Processing Procedures on the Thermal Diffusivity of MgO‐C Refractories

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The thermal diffusivity of MgO‐C refractories is highly sensitive to sample preparation and processing procedures. In this article, the effects of coking sequence, machining conditions, structural inhomogeneity, and graphite coating application on measurements using laser flash apparatus are systematically investigated.

Switching Product Selectivity in Immobilized Tungstate Catalysts by Control of Hydrophobicity of Mesoporous Silicate Supports

ChemistryEurope
Novel mesoporous silicates modified with imidazolium cation were applied as the support for peroxotungstate. Stepwise introduction of multiple functional groups to SBA‐15 was achieved by the combination of the direct and post‐synthesis procedures. The co‐

On‐Demand Activation of Thin Alginate Shell Encapsulated Volatile Liquid for Untethered Pneumatic Soft Actuation

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Phase‐changing liquids enable untethered pneumatic actuation in soft robotics but suffer from volatility and storage challenges. This work reports a simple method to encapsulate Novec 7000 within micron‐thin alginate shells via in situ injection and ionic crosslinking.
