Magnetic beads (MB) have now proven to be a powerful tool in both research and biomedical applications. They are available in a wide range of sizes (from nm to several µm) and their surface can be modified with molecules having biological specificities and ...
The ability to predict the distribution of metals in geologic systems requires a modeling approach that can describe the competition among adsorbing surfaces for the metal of interest. In this study, we test if a component additivity (CA) surface complexat ...
A specific multi-phosphopeptide enrichment method is presented to complement current phosphopeptide isolation strategies that normally bias mass spectrometry analysis towards the detection of mono-phosphopeptides. An adsorption model is developed that show ...
In the present work, CeO2 nanopowder was synthesized via a reverse precipitation method using CeCl3 center dot 7H(2)O, NH4OH and sodium dodecyl sulfate as raw materials. The effect of thermal treatment on the crystal growth, surface area and chemical bonds ...
Molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate possible explanations for experimentally observed differences in the growth modification of calcite particles by two organic additives, polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyaspartic acid (p-ASP). The more r ...
This study presents a comparative approach to investigate the potentials of two innovative methods for the synthesis of ZnO and Al-doped ZnO. The first method is a precipitation system working in mild hydrothermal conditions (90°C) using a tubular reactor ...
The air-free reaction between FeCl2 and H4dobdc (dobdc4- = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) in a mixt. of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and methanol affords Fe2(dobdc)·4DMF, a metal-org. framework adopting the MOF-74 (or CPO-27) structure type. The deso ...
The glass transition behavior of hyperbranched polymer (HBP) molecules with suspensions of silica and glass particles up to the concentrated regime (25 vol %) was analyzed by modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC). The reversing and nonreversin ...
The dispersion of highly hydrophobic carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes in biological media is a challenging issue. Indeed, the nonspecific adsorption of proteins occurs readily when the nanotubes are introduced in biological media; therefore, a met ...
Using high-throughput instrumentation to screen conditions, the reaction between FeCl2 and H3BTT·2HCl (BTT3- = 1,3,5-benzenetristetrazolate) in a mixt. of DMF and DMSO gave Fe3[(Fe4Cl)3(BTT)8]2·22DMF·32DMSO·11H2O. This compd. adopts a porous three-dimensio ...
