Article Synopsis
- Patterned macroporous titania (TiO2) materials are created using a shear-aligned crystalline surfactant mesophase, resulting in pores with a hexagonal geometry.
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show that the sheared samples have better alignment of macropores compared to those made without shear, with larger pore diameters and improved photocatalytic activity.
- The sheared TiO2 demonstrates higher photocatalytic performance for degrading Rhodamine B, attributed to its enhanced photoabsorption and structured channels that improve reactant transport, indicating potential uses in advanced catalysis.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used techniques like fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and dynamic light scattering to examine the self-diffusion of fluorescein-tagged bovine serum albumin (BSA) in these coacervates, revealing complex spatial and temporal structures.
- * The findings highlight that protein mobility is influenced by the presence of dense and dilute domains within the coacervates, affecting how proteins move at different scale lengths, leading to discussions on the nature of protein-polyelectrolyte interactions and mesophase separation.
