The self-assembly of lignin (molecular and supramolecular) is driven mainly by non-covalent interactions, and the nature of the solvents and antisolvents directly affect the driving forces. The lignin particle is usually formed by noncovalently bonde...
The role of surface and colloid chemistry in the petroleum industry is of great importance to the many current and future challenges confronting this sector [...]
The spreading of solutions of three trisiloxane surfactants on two hydrophobic substrates, polyethylene and polyvinylidenefluoride, was studied with the addition of 0–40 mass % of glycerol. It was found that all the surfactant solutions spread...
Adsorption of hyperbranched arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) from two plant exudates, A. senegal and A. seyal, was thoroughly studied at the solid–liquid interface using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), surface pl...
The influence of different surface properties holding to a modification of the substrate towards hydrophobic or superhydrophobic behavior was reviewed in this paper. Cell adhesion, their communication, and proliferation can be strongly manipulated, a...
This work investigates the temperature-dependent micelle formation as well as the micellar structure of the saponin aescin. The critical micelle concentration (
Aerogel objects inspired by plant cell wall components and structures were fabricated using extrusion-based 3D printing at cryogenic temperatures. The printing process combines 3D printing with the alignment of rod-shaped nanoparticles through the fr...
Carbon-based catalysts can assist the oxidative leaching of sulfide minerals. Recently, we presented that AF 5 Lewatit® is among the catalysts with superior enargite oxidation capacity and capability to collect elemental sulfur on its surface. He...
The diffusiophoretic migration of a circular cylindrical particle in a nonelectrolyte solution with a solute concentration gradient normal to its axis is analytically studied for a small but finite Péclet number
Polylactic acid (PLA) filaments are very popular as a thermoplastic source used in the 3D printing field by the “Fused Deposition Modeling” method in the last decade. The PLA market is expected to reach 5.2 billion US dollars in 2020 for...
