Surface hydrophobicity of microparticles modulates adjuvanticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Polymeric microparticles are promising adjuvants and they exhibit various physicochemical characteristics that can regulate the immune response, including hydrodynamic size, morphology, and surface properties, among others. Surface hydrophobicity is also

Swelling‐Programmed Topographical Guidance for Dynamic Spheroid Self‐Assembly via a Mechanochemical Hydrogel Niche

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A swelling‐programmed micropatterned hydrogel guides adherent cells through a controlled transition from cell–matrix anchoring to cadherin‐mediated cell–cell compaction, enabling rapid assembly of high‐viability spheroids with defined size and morphology.

Hydrophobicity of Cindery Typic Cryorthents [PDF]

open access: yes
The hydrophobicity of soils of the Deschutes National Forest was studied. The soils are Cindery Typic Cryorthents, formed in cinders and ash from Mt. Mazama. Ponderosa pine is the dominant overstory vegetation.

X‐Functionality–Driven Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution in 2D 4‐X‐PEA2SnI4 Perovskites

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We report a water‐based synthesis of 2D 4‐X‐PEA2SnI4 perovskite microcrystals with prominent photocatalytic (PC) activity for H2 production. The synergy between organic functionalization and HI‐derived iodide scavenges holes suppress octahedral distortion, and favor electron accumulation, enabling a PC H2 evolution ∼20 µmol·g−1 and long‐term stability ...

Hydroxide and Hydrophobic Tetrabutylammonium Ions at the Hydrophobe–Water Interface

open access: yesMolecules
Water and oil do not mix. This essential statement of the hydrophobic effect explains why oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions are unstable and why energy must be supplied to form such emulsions. Breaking O/W emulsions is an exothermic event. Yet metastable O/W emulsions can be prepared with only water acting as the stabilizer by the adsorption of hydroxide ...

Hydrophobicity control of glass surface [PDF]

open access: yes
Surface hydrophobicity plays a crucial role in chemical and biological assays as an important surface property, as it affects the spreading of liquids on the surface. This modification of surface hydrophobicity places importance on glass materials as
