As emerging contaminants, microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are increasingly
widespread in soil environment. The present paper reviews available analytical methods for …

Due to the stable chelating effect of organic phosphonates in wastewater, phosphonates
with increasing emission are difficult to be removed effectively by traditional ferric salt …

The environmental transport and fate of nanoscale zero-valent iron particles (nZVI) in soil
and groundwater can be altered by their hetero-aggregation with clay mineral particles …

Hypothesis The size, shape and dynamics of assemblies of colloidal particles optically-
trapped at an air–water interface can be tuned by controlling the optical potential, particle …

Particles naturally have size distributions and shapes, but these are overlooked in the
physicochemical theory used to estimate interaction energies for particle aggregation or …

Hypothesis Electrostatic interactions between colloids are governed by the overlap of their
electric double layers (EDLs) and the ionic screening of the structural charges distributed at …

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the urgent need for the development of efficient,
durable, reusable and recyclable filtration media for the deep-submicron size range. Here …

ZIF-8 is widely used as a porous crystal material in the field of colloids. Its interfacial
interactions are crucial to the performance of colloidal particles. In this paper, the Hamaker …

Nanopesticidal adsorption on plant surfaces is a critical determinant of their application
efficacy, persistence, and ecological impact. In this study, we systematically investigate the …

Modeling rough surfaces has received attention as it can facilitate understanding of colloidal
systems. This work comprehensively discussed a facile approach for simulating the surface …
