Specific ion effects in aqueous polymer solutions have been under active investigation over
the past few decades. The current state-of-the-art research is primarily focused on the …

It is widely acknowledged that specific-ion effects are ubiquitous in aqueous systems and
undoubtedly are essential to the fundamental processes of life, although a deep …

Surfactants are centrally important in many scientific and engineering fields and are used for
many purposes such as foaming agents and detergents. However, many challenges remain …

In one of the most commonly used phenomenological descriptions of the electrical double
layer, a charged solid surface and a diffuse region of mobile ions are separated from each …

Ion-stabilized nanobubbles in bulk aqueous solutions of various electrolytes were
investigated. To understand the ion-specific mechanism of nanobubble stabilization, an …

We present a theory for ion pair dissociation and association, motivated by the concepts of
Marcus theory of electron transfer. Despite the extensive research on ion-pairing in many …

Several recent developments have enhanced our understanding of specific ion hydration.
These advances have included the Law of Matching Water Affinities and the realization that …

Nanocomposite materials consist of nanometer-sized quantum objects such as atoms,
molecules, voids or nanoparticles embedded in a host material. These quantum objects can …

Electrolyte solutions play a vital role in a vast range of important materials chemistry
applications. For example, they are a crucial component in batteries, fuel cells …

Nanopapers formed from aqueous dispersions of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) combine
stiffness, strength, and toughness. Yet, delicate interactions operate between the CNFs …
