This work provides a comprehensive review of experimental methods used to measure rheological properties of interfacial layers stabilized by surfactants, asphaltenes, and proteins that are relevant to systems with large interfacial areas, such as emu...
The effectiveness of copper-based composites, specifically cupric ion (Cu2+)-modified phyllosilicate minerals, was evaluated in reducing the concentration of infectious agents in the environment while minimizing metal ion release. The phyllosilicate...
A general theory was developed for the time-dependent transient electroosmosis on a planar soft surface, i.e., a polyelectrolyte-coated solid surface in an electrolyte solution, when an electric field is suddenly applied. This serves as a simple mode...
The study of the fundamental principles of gelation of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) advances the understanding of the formation of colloidal systems of living organisms. In this paper, the effect of particle size for a binary system of oppositely ch...
Canola oil, extracted from Brassica napus, is appreciated for its nutritional profile, but its use in the food industry is limited by its susceptibility to oxidation. This study aimed to evaluate the nanoemulsion of canola oil by sonication to develo...
This work studies the stabilization of Pickering-like emulsions using dispersions of interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs) formed by chitosan (CS) and sodium alginate (ALG), two polymers from natural resources, as the aqueous phase and soybean oil a...
A 2D imine-linked covalent organic framework (COF) with good biocompatibility was synthesized using o-Dianisidine and 1,3,5-Triformylbenzene. The synthesized COF was characterized by using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetry analy...
A general theoretical approach is introduced to analyze the time-dependent, transient diffusiophoresis of a charged spherical colloidal particle in a symmetrical electrolyte solution when an electrolyte concentration gradient is suddenly applied. We...
Emulsions stabilized by environmentally friendly surfactants have been at the center of research attention over recent decades. Non-ionic surfactants with good biodegradability, while being non-toxic and non-irritating, have dominated in this area. F...
There is a growing focus on the design of nanoemulsions because of their valuable properties as an enhanced vehicle for interaction with cells and resistant bacteria. Their potential applications in the health and food industry are numerous. Although...
This work reports a detailed investigation of the micellization of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) over the temperature range of 290–313 K. Conductometry, tensiometry, fluorimetry, and isothermal titration calorime...
With the increasing environmental water pollution, there is an increasing demand for efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment technologies. Photocatalysis, as an environmentally friendly oxidation technology, shows significant promise for the d...
Biocides are often used in various industries and applications to control microbial growth and prevent the deterioration of materials, and they often have the ability to target a wide range of microorganisms rather than being specific to one type. Th...
Caffeine is commonly used in pharmaceutical and personal care products, where it serves both therapeutic and cosmetic purposes. However, its widespread presence in wastewater from the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries has raised concerns about e...
