Particle stabilized emulsions have received much interest in the recent past, but our understanding of the dynamics of emulsion formation is still limited. For simple spherical particles, the time dependent growth of fluid domains is dominated by the formation of droplets, particle adsorption and coalescence of droplets (Ostwald ripening), which eventually can be almost fully blocked due to the...

A model of fibrinolysis was developed using multicomponent convection-diffusion equations with homogeneous reaction and heterogeneous adsorption and reaction. Fibrin is the dissolving stationary phase and plasminogen, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), urokinase (uPA), and plasmin are the soluble mobile species. The model is based on an accurate molecular description of the fibrin fiber and pr...

Grain boundaries (GBs) can undergo first-order or continuous phase-like transitions, which are called complexion transitions. Such GB transitions can cause abrupt changes in transport and physical properties, thereby critically influencing sintering, grain growth, creep, embrittlement, electrical/thermal/ionic conductivity, and a broad range of other materials properties. Specifically, the pres...

The concept of conditional stability constant is extended to the competitive binding of small molecules to heterogeneous surfaces or macromolecules via the introduction of the conditional affinity spectrum (CAS). The CAS describes the distribution of effective binding energies experienced by one complexing agent at a fixed concentration of the rest. We show that, when the multicomponent system ...

Perturbation chromatography with multi component gas carrier and non-equilibrium thermodynamics liner law was applied for discussion of the interference effect and the displacement effect on mass transfer in multi component gas adsorption. Moment analysis method and stop & go simulation method were utilized to obtain each mass transfer parameters of adsorbate gases. Dependency of micropore diff...

Biopolymers are known to be abundant and have low toxicity. The use of biopolymers as adsorbent materials in line with the current needs for cheap, environmentally friendly, high-efficiency adsorbents. physicochemical properties based on polysaccharide like chitosan adsorbents can still explored. This article was written using a systemmatic review conducted by collecting scientific journals fro...

Here we report on the apparent reduction in surface chirality upon co-assembling a chiral and achiral molecule into a physisorbed self-assembled monolayer at the liquid/solid interface as revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Chiral OPV with achiral thymine gives rise to surface-confined supramolecular diastereomers.

Adsorptive separation techniques are significantly energy efficient in comparison to conventional thermal such as distillation. Despite extensive research and development activities undertaken for mixed-gas adsorption, the use of adsorption multicomponent liquid mixtures is still limited. A major barrier lack accurate thermodynamic models, which form scientific foundation process simulation sys...

In a combined experimental and theoretical study, we show that capacitive charging of porous electrodes in multicomponent electrolytes may lead to the phenomenon of time-dependent ion selectivity of the electrical double layers (EDLs) in the electrodes. This effect is found in experiments on capacitive deionization of water containing NaCl/CaCl(2) mixtures, when the concentration of Na(+) ions ...
