Seed‐mediated growth is a powerful and versatile approach for the synthesis of colloidal
metal nanocrystals. The vast allure of this approach mainly stems from the staggering …

In recent years, extraction of zinc from low-grade mining tailings of oxidized zinc has been a
matter of discussion. This is a material which can be processed by flotation and acid …

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are widely used in disinfectants, cleaners,
preservatives, cosmetics, and agriculture. Recently, QACs have been detected in the human …

A model that makes use of the cooperative organization of inorganic and organic molecular
species into three dimensionally structured arrays is generalized for the synthesis of …

It is commonly known that cationic and anionic surfactants cannot be mixed without the risk
of precipitation or instability. However, many studies have shown that not only is it possible …

Self-assembly in mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants occurs synergistically because
of attractive interactions between the oppositely charged headgroups. Here, such effects are …

Binary mixtures of different surfactants can demonstrate diverse self-assembly dynamics and
subsequently form varieties of structures which are distinctive to the ones demonstrated by …

A family of mesoporous molecular sieves (denoted MSU-G) with vesiclelike hierarchical
structures and unprecedented thermal (1000° C) and hydrothermal stabilities (more than …

This review highlights the relevant issues of spontaneous formation of vesicles. Both the
common characteristics and the differences between liposomes and vesicles are given. The …

Coal seam water injection is one of the important technical means to prevent mine disasters.
It can effectively change the mechanical properties of coal, prevent dust, coal and gas …
