The early stages of the formation of inorganic aggregates, composed of iron compounds at the solution-air interface, were investigated in situ. The properties of the solution-air interface were changed by using different Langmuir layers. In order to get insight into the evolution of the sample system in situ, the processes were studied by X-ray scattering and spectroscopy techniques. The formation of aggregates was detected under cationic as well as under anionic Langmuir layers. The observed compounds lack long range order which indicates the formation of amorphous structures. This is supported by extended X-ray absorption fine structure measurements showing only minor order in the formed aggregates.

Adsorption of rhamnolipid (RL) and surfactin (SF) as well as their mixtures with Triton X-100 (TX100) and Triton X-165 (TX165) at the solution-air (S-A), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)-S, PMMA (poly (methyl methacrylate))-S, Q (quartz)-S, PMMA-A, and Q-A as well as their wetting properties regarding the surface tension of the PTFE, PMMA and quartz and its components and parameters were discussed using the literature data. The mutual influence of biosurfactants and Tritons on the S-A, PMMA(quartz)-A and PTFE(PMMA, quartz)-S interfaces tensions was considered in terms of their adsorption at these interfaces for both aqueous and water-ethanol solutions of the biosurfactant mixtures with Tritons. For this purpose there were used different methods on the basis of which the S-A, PMMA(quartz)-A and PTFE(PMMA, quartz)-S interface tensions can be predicted and/or described in the function of concentration and composition of the mixtures.

This study leverages accelerated reactions at the solution/air interface of microdroplets generated by desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) to explore the chemical space. DESI is utilized to synthesize drug analogs at an overall rate of 1 reaction mixture per second, working on the low-nanogram scale. Transformations of multiple drug molecules at specific functionalities (phenol, hydroxyl, amino, carbonyl, phenyl, thiophenyl, and alkenyl) are achieved using electrophilic/nucleophilic, redox, C-H functionalization, and coupling reactions.

We investigate the mass transfer and membrane growth processes during capsule formation by the interaction of the biopolymer xanthan gum with CTAB surfactants. When a drop of xanthan gum polymer solution is added to the surfactant solution, a membrane is formed by coacervation. It encapsulates the polymer drop in the surfactant solution.

We determine the surface tension of aqueous electrolyte solutions in contact with non-polar dielectric media using a thermomechanical approach, which involves deriving the stress tensor from the thermodynamic potential of an inhomogeneous fluid. To obtain the surface tension, we calculate both the normal and tangential pressures using the components of the stress tensor, recently derived by us [Y. A.

Chemical gardens are self-organized precipitate structures such as thin-walled tubes and membrane-bound cells reminiscent of biological shapes. These usually inorganic precipitates compartmentalize the reaction system and allow the study of materials synthesis in very steep concentration gradients. We create such tubes by steadily injecting a mixture of MnCl and CuSO solutions into a large reservoir of sodium silicate solution.
