Computation of liquid-liquid equilibria and phase stabilities: implications for RH-dependent gas/particle partitioning of organic-inorganic aerosols [PDF]
, 2010 Semivolatile organic and inorganic aerosol species partition between the gas and aerosol particle phases to maintain thermodynamic equilibrium. Liquid-liquid phase separation into an organic-rich and an aqueous electrolyte phase can occur in the aerosol ...

Liquid–liquid phase separation in human health and diseases
Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2021 Emerging evidence suggests that liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) represents a vital and ubiquitous phenomenon underlying the formation of membraneless organelles in eukaryotic cells (also known as biomolecular condensates or droplets).

In situ analysis of solvent/nonsolvent exchange and phase separation processes during the membrane formation of polylactides [PDF]
, 1996 Membrane formation of polylactides has been studied using in situ analysis techniques. An experimental method based on the use of dark ground optics and reflected light illumination is used to monitor the mass transfer and phase separation dynamics ...

Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation in Nucleation Process of Biomineralization
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022 Biomineralization is a typical interdisciplinary subject attracting biologists, chemists, and geologists to figure out its potential mechanism. A mounting number of studies have revealed that the classical nucleation theory is not suitable for all ...
