Nanocelluloses are anisotropic nanoparticles of semicrystalline assemblies of glucan
polymers. They have great potential as renewable building blocks in the materials platform …

BACKGROUND Interactions between inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are central to a wide
spectrum of physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. An understanding of these …

Specific effects of electrolytes have posed a challenge since the 1880's. The pioneering
work was that of Franz Hofmeister who studied specific salt induced protein precipitation …

Specific ion effects occur everywhere. They occur in bulk solutions and at interfaces
(air/water, oil/water, solid/water, macromolecule/water, etc.). They are even found in …

Food Emulsions: Principles, Practice, and Techniques, Second Edition introduces the
fundamentals of emulsion science and demonstrates how this knowledge can be applied to …

This work aims at understanding the excellent ability of nanocelluloses to disperse carbon
nanomaterials (CNs) in aqueous media to form long-term stable colloidal dispersions …

The classical Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory of colloids, and
corresponding theories of electrolytes, are unable to explain ion specific forces between …

The controlled patterning of polymeric surfaces at the micro-and nanoscale offers potential
in the technological development of small-scale devices, particularly within the fields of …

The 20 standard amino acids (together with a few more that are not used in the biosynthesis
of proteins) constitute a versatile tool box for synthesis of surfactants. Anionic, cationic and …

We establish a tool for direct measurements of the work needed to separate a liquid from a
solid. This method mimics a pendant drop that is subjected to a gravitational force that is …
