Polycation Interactions with Zwitterionic Phospholipid Monolayers on Oil Nanodroplets Suspensions in Water (D2O) Probed by Sum Frequency Scattering

By combining dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements and infrared (IR) spectroscopy with the interface- and bond-specificity of vibrational sum frequency generation scattering (SFS) spectroscopy, we probe several structural aspects of how zwitterionic ...

Size limitations on achieving tough and healable fibre reinforced composites through the use of thermoplastic nanofibres

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Lode Geeraard Daelemans

Phase-separated blends of epoxy and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) provide crack repair in composites after a thermal treatment at 150 °C, but decrease the material’s fracture toughness. This article investigates the combination of healing with interlaminar fr ...

Beyond the Hofmeister Series: Ion-Specific Effects on Proteins and Their Biological Functions

Halil Ibrahim Okur

Ions differ in their ability to salt out proteins from solution as expressed in the lyotropic or Hofmeister series of cations and anions. Since its first formulation in 1888, this series has been invoked in a plethora of effects, going beyond the original ...
