Tuning of Morphology and Surface Properties of Porous Silicones by Chemical Modification

Applied Sciences, 2023
The behavior of materials against water is a key element in many practical applications. Silicones are hydrophobic by nature and can be chemically modified to become hydrophilic or highly hydrophobic, while combining intrinsic surface properties with ...

Controlling nonspecific protein adsorption in a plug-based microfluidic system by controlling interfacial chemistry using fluorous-phase surfactants [PDF]

, 2005
Control of surface chemistry and protein adsorption is important for using microfluidic devices for biochemical analysis and high-throughput screening assays. This paper describes the control of protein adsorption at the liquid-liquid interface in a plug-

The Interactions of Co-Solvent, Co-Solute and Amphiphilic Anionic Dye with Aqueous Solutions of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate

Walailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2014
Surface and bulk properties of anionic surfactant and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), both in the absence and presence of co-solvent and co-solute, and its interaction with Bromocresol Green (BCG) in aqueous media were investigated, using surface ...

Salting out, non-ideality and synergism enhance surfactant efficiency in atmospheric aerosols

Scientific Reports, 2023
In Earth’s atmosphere, the surface tension of sub-micron aerosol particles is suspected to affect their efficiency in becoming cloud droplets. But this quantity cannot be measured directly and is inferred from the chemical compounds present in aerosols ...

A Robust Superhydrophobic Polyurethane Sponge Loaded with Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Efficient and Selective Oil-Water Separation

Nanomaterials, 2021
The influence of different coupling agents and coupling times on the wettability of a polyurethane (PU) sponge surface were optimized. Octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) was selected as the optimal coupling agent to prepare the superhydrophobic sponge.

Changes in helical content or net charge of apolipoprotein C-I alter its affinity for lipid/water interfaces[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Amphipathic α-helices mediate binding of exchangeable apolipoproteins to lipoproteins. To probe the role of α-helical structure in protein-lipid interactions, we used oil-drop tensiometry to characterize the interfacial behavior of apolipoprotein C-I ...

Investigating Adsorption of Cellulose Nanocrystals at Air–Liquid and Substrate–Liquid Interfaces after pH Manipulation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2023
Coatings of anisotropic nanoparticles such as cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can provide tuneable physicochemical surface properties to a substrate such as modifying wettability. These coatings are often formed using dip coating, with CNCs enriched at the
