Non-Newtonian Dynamics in Water-in-Salt Electrolytes.

Water-in-salt electrolytes have attracted considerable interest in the past decade for advanced lithium-ion batteries, possessing important advantages over the non-aqueous electrolytes currently in use. A battery with a LiTFSI-water electrolyte was demonstrated in which an operating window of 3 V is made possible by a solid-electrolyte interface. Viscosity is an important property for such electrolytes, because high viscosity is normally associated with low ionic conductivity.

Overlapping double layers in electrokinetics of concentrated dispersions.

The traditional model of the Isolated Double Layer (DL) becomes inadequate in concentrated dispersions when the distance between particles becomes comparable to the Debye length and DLs overlap. The notion of "overlapping DLs" was introduced to Electrophoretic theory 60 years ago by Prof. T.

Rheology of non-Newtonian liquid mixtures and the role of molecular chain length.

We have examined mixtures of toluene, a Newtonian liquid, with several non-Newtonian liquids (i.e. surfactants) across the full composition range, from pure toluene to pure surfactant, for the purpose of exploring their rheological properties.

Adsorption of surfactant from non-polar liquid into porous material characterized using conductivity measurement.

Hypothesis: Surfactants cause ionization in non-polar liquids, enabling such liquids to become electrically conductive with that conductivity being a linear function of the surfactant concentration. Consequently, measurement of the conductivity can be used as a tool for monitoring surfactant concentration.

Experiments: We describe here a simple method for studying surfactant adsorption from oil into a porous material.

Immune-inflammatory predictors of the pelvic pain syndrome associated with adenomyosis.

The aim of the study was the analysis of immune inflammatory processes in the development of the pelvic pain syndrome associated with adenomyosis. For morphological examination were used 54 fragments of the myometrium obtained from patients after hysterectomy with pelvic pain on a background of diffuse adenomyosis of II-III degree, and 20 patients with painless form of adenomyosis. The identification of the macrophages distribution was held by means of an immune-hysto-chemical analysis of MAT (monoclonal antibody) for CD68.
