This article recapitulates the state of the art regarding simulations of ionization equilibria of
weak polyelectrolyte solutions and gels. We start out by reviewing the essential …

Basic principles and problems of the systematization of data on nanomaterials are
discussed. The eclectic character of nanomaterials is defined as the key difference between …

Aquatic fate models and risk assessment require experimental information on the potential
of contaminants to interact with riverine suspended particulate matter (SPM). While for …

This study presents the synthesis of guar gum-zero valent iron nanocomposites (ZGNC) by a
simple ultrasound co-precipitation method. The guar gum, one of the most cost effective due …

Understanding the transformation and transport of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) in
aquatic systems remains an important issue due to their potential hazard. Once released in …

Abstract pH is a critical parameter for biological and technological systems directly related
with electrical charges. It can give rise to peculiar electrostatic phenomena, which also …

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 …

We perform grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations to study the pH titrations of isolated
polyampholytes and polyelectrolyte-polyampholyte complexes in dilute solutions. Our …

The harvesting of salinity gradient energy through a capacitive double-layer expansion
(CDLE) technique is directly associated with ion adsorption and desorption in electrodes …

The great importance of pH for molecular processes has motivated the continuous
development of numerical methods to improve the physical description of molecular …
