Magnetophoretic velocimetry is a novel technique to measure the magnetic susceptibility of a single microparticle. This technique could be applied to study the interfacial adsorption equilibria of a paramagnetic dysprosium(III) ion with capric, lauric or stearic acid for a single 2-fluorotoluene microdroplet. The observed magnetic susceptibility of the micro-organic droplets was reciprocally proportional to its radius in each case. From the proportional constant, the interfacial concentration of Dy(III) was determined. Furthermore, the dependences of the interfacial concentration on the initial Dy(III) concentration and pH were examined in order to analyze the adsorption equilibrium. Finally, the saturated interfacial concentration and the interfacial adsorption constant at the infinite dilution of Dy(III)-laurate complex were evaluated as 4.8 x 10(-10) mol cm(-2) and 3.4 x 10(-2) dm, respectively.

Undesirable dendrite growth and side reactions at the electrical double layer (EDL) of Zn/electrolyte interface are critical challenges limiting the performance of aqueous zinc ion batteries. Through density functional theory calculations, we demonstrate that grafting large π-conjugated molecules (e.g.

Understanding the adsorption features of polymer microgels with different chemical compositions and structures is crucial in studying the mechanisms of respective emulsion stabilization. Specifically, the use of stimuli-responsive particles can introduce new properties and broaden the application range of such complex systems. Recently, we demonstrated that emulsions stabilized by microgels composed of interpenetrating networks (IPNs) of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) exhibit higher colloidal stability upon heating compared to PNIPAM homopolymer and other relevant PNIPAM-based copolymer counterparts.

An interface can be delicately designed using interactions between nanoparticles and surfactants by controlling surface properties such as activity and charge equilibrium. This study seeks to provide insights into how surfactant concentration impacts the stability and dynamics of nanoparticle-surfactant interfaces, with potential applications in material science and interface engineering. This study investigates the interactions between Graphene Function (Gr, Graphene function in this text refers to functionalizing the graphene sheets with -COOH groups via acidic reactions.

Effects of enzymolysis by seven proteases (Alcalase, Bromelain, Flavourzyme, Papain, Pepsin, Protamex, and Trypsin) with distinct cleavage specificities on the emulsification performance of hempseed protein (HPI) and its correlation with the structural and interfacial characteristics were explored in this study. Upon enzymolysis, a remarkable decrease in α-helix and β-turn was observed in resultant hydrolysates (HPH), accompanied by a rise in β-sheet and random coil, notably by Alcalase, Bromelain, Papain, and Trypsin. Overall, proteolysis led to noticeable reductions in surface hydrophobicity and total sulfhydryls as well as a redshift in intrinsic fluorescence, with Papain showing the most pronounced effects, possibly due to its higher hydrolysis degree (4.

Copper (Cu)-based catalysts exhibit distinctive performance in the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) with complex mechanism and sophisticated types of products. The management of key intermediates *CO and *H is a necessary factor for achieving high product selectivity, but lack of efficient and versatile strategies. Herein, we designed Pt modified Cu catalysts to effectively modulate the competitive coverage of those intermediates.
