A gel probe equilibrium sampler has been developed to study arsenic (As) geochemistry and sorption behavior in sediment porewater. The gels consist of a hydrated polyacrylamide polymer, which has a 92% water content. Two types of gels were used in this stu ...
This work describes the dilute solution and solid-state structure of polyelectrolyte complexes generated from hyperbranched polylysine (HBPL) and various anionic, sodium alkyl sulfate surfactants. In dilute solution, the radius of gyration (Rg) of the HBPL ...
L-lysine is an essential a-amino acid and a necessary building block for all proteins in the body. As an essential amino acid, L-lysine is not synthesized by humans or animals. Industrially produced L-lysine has therefore a big market as food additive, e.g ...
The montmorillonite-catalyzed reactions of the 5′-phosphorimidazolides of D, L-adenosine (D, L-ImpA) (Figure 1a. N = A, R = H) and D, L-uridine (Figure 1a., N = U, R = H) yields oligomers that were as long as 7 mers and 6 mers, respectively. The reactions ...
Self-diffusion NMR spectroscopy and relaxometry have been employed to study fragrance encapsulation in water-soluble, amphiphilic star block copolymers. Diffusion coefficients of four different fragrance molecules in the free form and in the presence of th ...
The continuous tunability of iron oxide nanoparticle dimensions is demonstrated using the pH controlled loading of ferric nitrate from aqueous solution into polystyrene–block–polyacrylic acid reverse micelles deposited on a silicon substrate. Quasi-hexagon ...
A review is presented concerning the exploitation of spectral information carried by probe pulse. The method reviewed allow observing changes and dynamics of the solute mol. structure in polar solvents. ...
Abstract: MS2 coliphage, a surrogate for human enteric viruses, is inactivated by singlet oxygen (1O2) produced via sunlight-mediated excitation of natural organic matter (NOM) in surface waters. The 1O2 concentration within a NOM macromolecule or supramol ...
For more than thirty years there has been a high demand for glucose measuring devices to replace the finger pricking methods and to improve the life quality of diabetics. Three approaches are possible, electrochemical, electromagnetic (including optical), ...
Aminosilane solutions with pH equal to 8 and to 11 were applied and cured on SiO2 coated poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films. The permeability of the silane-silica hybrid coating on PET was reduced twofold compared to that of the SiO2/PET film, at sol ...
