In this study, we characterize the CCN activity of the water-soluble organics in biomass burning aerosol. The aerosol after collection upon filters is dissolved in water using sonication. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic components are fractionated from a porti ...

Surfactant-templated layered silicates are shown to possess complex compositional, structural, and dynamic features that manifest rich and interrelated order and disorder at molecular length scales. Temperature-dependent 1D and 2D solid-state Si-29 NMR mea ...
The steady-state electrical behavior of cation-selective ionophore membranes with different kinds of ionic additives was studied on a theoretical basis. Membranes with both mobile and fixed anionic sites exhibit nonlinear current-voltage curves, which is i ...
We demonstrate a simple and fast method for self-assembly-driven micropatterning of protein functionalized magnetic beads on glass. We use positively charged aminosilane micro-patterns as template for selective immobilization of streptavidin-coated beads b ...
We explored the effects of addition of the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 on the stability of aggregates of poly(ethylene glycol-bl-propylene sulfide) di- and triblock copolymers. Fluorescence spectra of pyrene, used as a probe molecule, elucidated the v ...
The thesis describes the development of surfaces that model the surface of human hair in order to characterize the adsorption of detergents and perfumes. Three types of model surfaces were investigated consisting of (i) a self-assembled monolayer of protei ...
Membrane-associated proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis offer a challenge, as well as an opportunity, in the quest for better therapeutic and prophylactic interventions against tuberculosis. The authors have previously reported that extraction with the ...
Spent railway ballast is a source of recycled aggregate. Recycling of aggregates contributes to sustainable development by reducing the volume of construction waste going to landfill, reducing transportation and reducing the impact of primary mineral extra ...
Spark assisted chemical engraving (SACE) is an unconventional micromachining technology based on electrochemical discharge phenomena for glass and various ceramics. The limits of SACE with respect to small dimensions in the particular case of glass are exp ...
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 ...
