Self-organization of hydrophobic soil and granular surfaces [PDF]

, 2007
Soil can become extremely water repellent following forest fires or oil spillages, thus preventing penetration of water and increasing runoff and soil erosion. Here the authors show that evaporation of a droplet from the surface of a hydrophobic granular

Water Thermodynamics and Its Effects on the Protein Stability and Activity

Biophysica, 2021
We discuss a phenomenon regarding water that was until recently a subject of scientific interest: i.e., the dynamical crossover, from the fragile to strong glass forming material, for both bulk and protein hydration water. Such crossover is characterized

When Molecules Meet in Water‐Recent Contributions of Supramolecular Chemistry to the Understanding of Molecular Recognition Processes in Water

ChemistryOpen, 2022
Molecular recognition processes in water differ from those in organic solvents in that they are mediated to a much greater extent by solvent effects. The hydrophobic effect, for example, causes molecules that only weakly interact in organic solvents to ...

Some Clues on the Conformational Stability of Globular Proteins

Trends in Peptide and Protein Sciences, 2019
The native structure of the glycine-rich antifreeze protein from snow flea, sfAFP, its conformational stability and cooperative folding-unfolding transitions represent a challenge for the current understanding and rationalization of protein folding and ...

High Dye Fixation Pad-Steam Dyeing of Cotton Fabrics with Reactive Dyes Based on Hydrophobic Effect

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2020
To enhance the dye fixation of pad-steam dyeing with reactive dyes, we used five kinds of dyes and water–ethanol dyeing medium to investigate the hydrophobic effect in dyeing process.

States of Aggregation and Phase Transformation Behavior of Metallosurfactant Complexes by Hexacyanoferrate(II): Thermodynamic and Kinetic Investigation of ETR in Ionic Liquids and Liposome Vesicles

Biomimetics, 2022
Electronic absorption spectroscopy was used to study the ETR of surfactant–cobalt(III) complexes containing imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline, dipyrido[3,2-d:2′-3′-f]quinoxaline and dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,4′-c](6,7,8,9-tetrahydro)phenazine ligands by using ...

Micelle Formation and the Hydrophobic Effect [PDF]

, 2004
The tendency of amphiphilic molecules to form micelles in aqueous solution is a consequence of the hydrophobic effect. The fundamental difference between micelle assembly and macroscopic phase separation is the stoichiometric constraint that frustrates ...

Expanding the gelation properties of valine-based 3,5-diaminobenzoate organogelators with N-alkylurea functionalities

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2010
A new family of valine-containing 3,5-diaminobenzoate derivatives 2 with N-alkylurea moieties attached to the valine moieties was prepared. By appending these two new N-alkylurea chains to the molecular structure, their organogelating properties were ...

Implications of ideas on super-hydrophobicity for water repellent soil [PDF]

, 2007
Water repellence is an important factor in soil erosion due to its role in inhibiting the re-establishment of vegetation after fire and due to its enhancement of run-off.
