Electrokinetic data were measured for dilute aqueous dispersions of amorphous silica
nanoparticles of various size via capillary electrophoresis with borate buffers containing …

Fermentative volatile fatty acid (VFA) production is a sustainable approach for waste
valorization. However, selective product recovery remains challenging due to the range of …

Owing to the harsh downhole environments, poor dispersion of multi-walled carbon
nanotubes (MWCNTs) at high salinity and high temperature can severely limit their …

Owing to the harsh downhole environments, poor dispersion of silica at high salinity and
high temperature can severely restrict its application as the nano-plugging agent in shale …

We explore the monovalent counter-ion distribution around flexible highly-charged
polyelectrolytes with different molecular architectures (linear chains, stars, and unknotted …

In this study, we investigated the effect of pH on single weak acidic polyelectrolyte microgels
under salt-free conditions with (i) varying microgel concentration,(ii) varying content of acidic …

Taking gold nanoparticles with different hydrophilic coatings as an example, it is
investigated whether capillary electrophoresis in combination with Taylor dispersion …

A highly-charged spherical colloid in a salt-free environment exerts such a powerful
attraction on its counterions that a certain fraction condenses onto the surface of a particle …

The impact of salts on partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) is of great interest in
mineral processing, considering that the use of seawater seems to be the only sustainable …

Experimental studies have shown the formation of soluble complexes in the pure repulsive
Coulombic regime even when the net charges of the protein and the polyelectrolyte have the …
