Contamination and Decontamination of Polymer-Coated Surfaces

  • Laura J. D. Frink,
  • Frank van Swol,
  • Arianna Serrano and
  • Dimiter N. Petsev

We study the interaction between a flat surface and a contaminant solution. The surface is protected by a grafted polymer layer. Our primary interest is to better understand and elucidate the effect of simple molecular interactions on the contaminati...

  • Ariel Rogers,
  • Isabelle I. Niyonshuti,
  • Jun Ou,
  • Diksha Shrestha,
  • Deborah Okyere,
  • Jingyi Chen and
  • Yong Wang

The light-based nanowelding of metallic nanoparticles is of particular interest because it provides convenient and controlled means for the conversion of nanoparticles into microstructures and the fabrication of nanodevices. In this study, we investi...

Optimization of Clove Oil Nanoemulsions: Evaluation of Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Anticancer Properties

  • José Nabor Haro-González,
  • Brenda Nathalie Schlienger de Alba,
  • Moisés Martínez-Velázquez,
  • Gustavo Adolfo Castillo-Herrera and
  • Hugo Espinosa-Andrews

Clove essential oil is traditionally used as an anesthetic, analgesic, or insecticide, and recently, its applications as an antimicrobial, antioxidant, or anticancer agent have been explored. Nanoemulsions are thermodynamically unstable dispersions (...

Impact of Temperature Variations on the Entrapment of Bacterial Endotoxins in Aqueous Solutions of Four-Antennary Oligoglycines

  • Anna Y. Gyurova,
  • Dimitrinka Arabadzhieva,
  • Ivan Minkov,
  • Ljubomir Nikolov and
  • Elena Mileva

Specific self-assembly is registered in aqueous solution formulations based on four-antennary oligoglycines (T4), namely a spontaneous onset of highly ordered nanostructures—tectomers. This phenomenon is initiated by the action of hydrogen-bond...
