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 …

An overview of the use of surfactants for erythrocyte lysis and their cell membrane action
mechanisms is given. Erythrocyte membrane characteristics and its association with the cell …

The alkaline stability of 26 different quaternary ammonium groups (QA) is investigated for
temperatures up to 160° C and NaOH concentrations up to 10 mol L− 1 with the aim to …

Present theories of colloid science do not account for specific ion effects as exemplified by
the Hofmeister effect, surface tension of electrolyte solution interfaces, binding to micelles …

Conductivities and dielectric constant measurements in water at 25° C have been made on
the amphiphilics sodium n-dodecyl sulfate, n-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and …

Science is the attempt to make the chaotic diversity of our sense-experience to a logically
unified system of thought. A sound theoretical basis and a rational physicochemical …

The detailed interfacial adsorption and micellization behavior of pure and mixed
alkyltrimethylammonium bromides (ATABs: C10-, C12-, C14-, and C16TAB) were studied …

Interaction of a cephalosporin antibiotic drug, cefadroxyl monohydrate (CFM) with
hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic surfactant, and sodium dodecyl …

The critical micelle concentrations of mixed binary cationic surfactant systems havebeen
determined in water by conductivity measurements. Thefollowing systems have been …

Pool boiling is a widely encountered heat transfer phenomenon and the enhancement of
boiling heat transfer performance is of vital importance for real applications. Adding …
