The Most Detailed Resource Available on Points of Zero ChargeWith their work growing in
complexity, chemists involved with surface phenomena-related projects have outgrown the …

Interactions between microorganisms and clay minerals are ubiquitous in nature and are
involved in the formation and transformation of clay minerals and the global cycles of many …

In this study, we developed Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG)-encapsulating exfoliated
bentonite/alginate nanocomposite hydrogels for protecting probiotics by delaying gastric …

Acid–base chemistry of clay minerals is central to their interfacial properties, but up to now a
quantitative understanding on the surface acidity is still lacking. In this study, with first …

Colloidal interactions between clay nanoparticles have been studied extensively because of
their strong influence on the hydrology and mechanics of many soils and sedimentary …

The charged surfaces of micaceous minerals, especially illite, regulate the mobility of the
major radioisotopes of Cs (134 Cs, 135 Cs, 137 Cs) in the geosphere. Despite the long …

Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases, and current treatment regimens suffer from limited
efficacy, nonspecific toxicity, and chemoresistance. With the advantages of good …

The prediction of U (VI) adsorption onto montmorillonite clay is confounded by the
complexities of:(1) the montmorillonite structure in terms of adsorption sites on basal and …

Binding of antibiotics to clay minerals can decrease both their physical and biological
availability in soils. To elucidate the binding mechanisms of tetracycline antibiotics on …

Soils are complex and widely varying mixtures of organic matter and inorganic materials;
adsorption of surfactants to soils is therefore related to the soil composition. We first discuss …
