Hydrogel is a three‐dimensional cross‐linked hydrophilic network that can imbibe a large
amount of water inside its structure (up to 99% of its dry weight). Due to their unique …

Our understanding of the “long range” electrodynamic, electrostatic, and polar interactions
that dominate the organization of small objects at separations beyond an interatomic bond …

As the global oil market continues to tighten, there is an increasing focus on enhancing oil
recovery. However, enhanced oil recovery technologies require the addition of chemical …

Water migration in the gel pore of the calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) influences the durability
of cement-based material. The water transport in nanoscale gel pore is dramatically different …

Amphiphiles, either synthetic or natural, are structurally simple molecules with the
unprecedented capacity to self-assemble into complex, hierarchical geometries in …

Oil and water separation is a significant challenge due to the rapid discharge of oily
wastewater. Special wettable membranes have received substantial consideration in …

In this paper, we propose a Hofmeister-like ordering of charged headgroups. To this
purpose we review various literature data and complete them with some new experimental …

The edible Pickering emulsion gels stabilized by dihydromyricetin were fabricated for the
first time. To clarify the formation mechanism, dihydromyricetin particles were first …

Anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) at varying concentrations was
selected to investigate the influence on the wettability of Zhaozhuang Coal by molecular …

The REACH regulation (recent EU regulation for “Registration, Evaluation, Authorization,
and Restriction of Chemicals”) entered its product-recording phase after December 2008. 1 …
