Block copolymers are comprised of repeating chemical groups (blocks) which commonly contain at least one hydrophilic block coupled to at least one hydrophobic block, forming an amphipathic macromolecule. This molecular arrangement drives the self assembly ...
The treatment of water is needed for the supply of adequate quantity and quality of drinking water, as well as before the discharge of wastewater to the environment. Treatment technologies are often costly, involve chemicals that may have detrimental effec ...
Received 5 January 2009 Accepted 22 March 2009 Available online 27 March 2009 Keywords: Mixed micelles Drug delivery Block copolymers Sirolimus Extracellular matrix We present the formation of collagen-binding mixed micelles and their potential suitability ...
Surfactant liposome interactions have been previously studied through different methods and techniques. We present here a classical physical chemistry study on liposome solutions added to destabilizing agents at concentrations well above the solubilization ...
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 ...
This paper proposes and tests a model which couples the description of hydrologic flow and transport of herbicides at catchment scales. The model accounts for streamflow components' age to characterize short and long term fluctuations of herbicide flux con ...
The increasing worldwide contamination of freshwater systems with thousands of industrial and natural chemical compounds is one of the key environmental problems facing humanity. Although most of these compounds are present at low concentrations, many of t ...
In the past years, it has been observed that some compounds present in our environment can disturb the reproduction and development of animals like fishes, birds, or reptiles by interfering with their endocrine system. Indeed, these endocrine disrupting co ...
The use of pesticides may lead to environmental problems, such as surface water pollution, with a risk for aquatic organisms. In the present study, a typical vineyard river of western Switzerland was first monitored to measure discharged loads, identify so ...
Oil-bodies are minute plant organelles (0.5-2.0 mu m diameter) consisting of an oil core surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer/proteinaceous membrane. Oil-bodies have been isolated from rapeseed seeds and demonstrated to constitute a novel type of micro-c ...
