Influence of the hydrophile-lipophile balance of perfluorinated surfactants on the emulsion stability

Emulsions are omnipresent in our everyday life; for example, in food, certain drug and cosmetic formulations, agriculture, and as paints. Moreover, they are frequently used to perform high-throughput screening assays with minimum sample volumes. Key to the ...

A Versatile Approach to Stabilize Liquid-Liquid Interfaces using Surfactant Self-Assembly

Julian Charles Shillcock

Stabilizing liquid-liquid interfaces, whether between miscible or immiscible liquids, is crucial for a wide range of applications, including energy storage, microreactors, and biomimetic structures. In this study, a versatile approach for stabilizing the w ...

How Acid Washing Nickel Foam Substrates Improves the Efficiency of the Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Jan Van Herle, Suhas Nuggehalli Sampathkumar, Peter Hugh Middleton, Thomas Benjamin Ferriday

Nickel foam substrates are frequently utilised as porous 3D substrates for renewable energy applications. The preparation of these substrates usually includes an acid-washing step, but the degree to which this step affects the final electrochemical perform ...

Molecular Level Interfacial Studies of Nanoemulsions: Surface Structure, Specific Ion Effects and Stability

Evangelia Zdrali

This thesis is a study on the molecular structure of the interface of nanometer-sized oil droplets dispersed in water, a system known as oil-in-water nanoemulsion. The motivation for this research is the large significance of the interfacial nanostructures ...

Comparison of the functional properties of trimeric and monomeric CaiT of Escherichia coli

Kamila Krystyna Guérin

Secondary transporters exist as monomers, dimers or higher state oligomers. The significance of the oligomeric state is only partially understood. Here, the significance of the trimeric state of the L-carnitine/gamma-butyrobetaine antiporter CaiT of Escher ...

The interfacial structure of nano-and micron-sized oil and water droplets stabilized with SDS and Span80

Sylvie Roke, Esther Amstad, Nikolay Smolentsev, Evangelia Zdrali, Gianluca Nicolas Etienne

In this work, we provide a comparison between the stability and the interfacial structure of micrometer-sized and nanometer-sized droplets by employing a multi-instrumental approach comprised of the surface-sensitive technique of sum frequency scattering a ...

Recombinant Proteins for Industrial versus Pharmaceutical Purposes: A Review of Process and Pricing

Florian Maria Wurm

Recombinant proteins have been produced for over 30 years. Applications range from enzymes used in laundry detergents to antigen-detecting antibodies in cancer therapy. Despite similarities in manufacturing, drastic differences in retail pricing between re ...

Interface tuning and stabilization of monoglyceride mesophase dispersions: Food emulsifiers and mixtures efficiency

Several food surfactants were examined as possible efficient emulsifiers for liquid crystalline monolinolein-based particles and as alternative choices to the non-food-grade emulsifier conventionally used Pluronic (R) F127. We described a food emulsifiers' ...

Determination of trace metals accumulated and internalized by marine phytoplankton; interferences with colloidal organic matter

In the present work, we study the effects that aggregation of humic acids in seawater, and its adsorption to surfaces, can have on the determination of Cu and Pb accumulation by phytoplankton within the context of metal bioavailability studies, using the d ...

Vibrational Sum-Frequency Scattering Studies of Oil-in-Water Emulsions

Hilton Barbosa De Aguiar

Oil-in-water emulsions consist of oil droplets dispersed in an aqueous phase. Interfacial properties of the droplets determine the stability of emulsions. Even though this statement is widely accepted, a molecular level picture of the droplet interface is ...
