Colloids and Interfaces, Volume 9, Issue 5

Manufactured nanoparticles are used in many consumer products and industries, and are known to enter our waste streams. Transport of nanoparticles in porous media has been studied extensively; however, the forces governing the interactions between na...

The drying of nanofluid films on a surface can form various patterns and plays an important role in painting, surface patterning, and nano-fabrication processes. In this paper, a two-dimensional Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) model is developed based on t...

The practical adoption of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology is often hampered by the high cost, complex fabrication, and poor reproducibility of conventional substrates, which typically rely on noble metals or inefficient semiconduc...

Pharmaceutical contaminants such as tetracycline pose an increasing threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health as a result of their persistence in water sources and their contribution to antibiotic resistance. This study developed chitosan nanocom...

Understanding adsorption and interfacial properties of surface-active agents at interfaces is crucial to the formation and stability of colloidal systems such as emulsions and foams. In this work, interfacial tension and viscoelasticity of saponin at...

The surface tensions (σ) of binary solutions of diiodomethane (DIM, 1)–furfural (FA, 2), DIM (1)–N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, 2), and FA (1)–DMF (2) were determined at 25 °C over the entire bulk composition range, and the s...

Yield stress and thixotropy are critical rheological properties for enabling successful 3D printing of magnetic colloidal systems. However, conventional magnetic colloids, typically composed of a single dispersed phase, exhibit insufficient rheologic...

This work examines the colloidal properties of clays sampled from two different locations in Ventzia basin processed as low-density solid additives for water-based drilling fluid applications. The obtained samples were mechanically processed to reach...

Parenteral nutrition is an integral part of the nutritional support of critically ill neonates, infants, and children in the intensive care units (ICUs) and at home. Therefore, the adequacy and the effectiveness of parenteral nutrition, PN, support a...

Membrane innovations have become a key solution for overcoming the bottlenecks in efficiency upgrade in many green energy fields. Membrane performance depends on two key parameters permeability and selectivity, which typically follow a trade-off rela...

Developing a highly efficient leveler in acid copper electroplating solution is one of the primary tasks necessary for achieving superconformal filling of microvias and interconnections in printed circuit boards (PCBs). Two triethylenediamine-based G...

Food-based emulsifiers, derived from natural or edible sources such as soybeans, oats, eggs, milk, and fruits, have gained increasing attention in the food industry due to their clean label appeal, recognition as natural ingredients, and alignment wi...

Glauber’s salt is a promising phase change material for thermal energy storage due to its high latent heat capacity of 234 J/g and melting point of 34 °C, making it well-suited for low-temperature heating applications. However, its practica...

Drying is ubiquitous. However, its influence on surface speciation has been seldom studied. Through an in situ Attenuated Total Reflection–Infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy analysis of the drying of molybdate solutions on a lepidocrocite particle...

The contamination of water resources with heavy metals creates problems for using it as a source of drinking water. Adsorption is one of the most promising methods for heavy metal ion removal from natural and wastewater. The process of removing coppe...

In this study, liquid-phase plasma electrolysis (LPE) was successfully employed to remove the sizing agent from T800 carbon fiber surfaces. Through systematic investigation of varying arcing voltages (185–215 V) and electrode spacings (10&ndash...

Perilla seed oil (PSO) possesses various physiological functions, such as lowering blood lipids and preventing cancer; however, its poor water solubility, dispersibility, and oxidative stability severely limit its application scope. Epigallocatechin...

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is an emerging global health concern worldwide, driving the need for innovative solutions. Herbal approaches are gaining attention and acceptance due to safer profiles and very few side effects. In this study, silver nanopa...

In this work, bemotrizinol (BMTZ), a broad-spectrum UV-filter, was loaded into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) whose lipid matrix contained different oils (isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, caprylic/capric triglyceride) to assess the effects of...
