Noncovalent interactions, which usually feature tunable strength, reversibility, and
environmental adaptability, have been recognized as driving forces in a variety of biological …

This review summarizes the current understanding of adsorption of polyelectrolytes to
oppositely charged solid substrates, the resulting interaction forces between such …

Charge regulation in the electrical double layer has important implications for ion
adsorption, interparticle forces, colloidal stability, and deposition phenomena. Although …

Engineered inorganic nanoparticles (EINP) from consumers' products and industrial
applications, especially silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (NP), are emitted into the …

Coagulation mechanisms of polyaluminum chloride (PACl) at various dosages were studied
using a conventional jar test at different final and initial pH values during treating kaolin …

The encapsulation of cells with various polyelectrolytes through layer-by-layer (LbL) has
become a popular strategy in cellular function engineering. The technique sprang up in …

Uncompensated charges do not usually occur in Nature and any local charge should be a
result of charge separation. Dissociable chemical groups at interfaces in contact with ions in …

Mechanisms and kinetic of particle deposition at solid surfaces leading to the formation of
self-assembled layers of controlled structure and density were reviewed. In the first part …

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of protein extraction
from mature-dried Moringa oleifera seeds by three methods: simple pulverization, oil …

We consider the interaction of colloidal spheres in the presence of mono-, di-, and trivalent
ions. The colloids are stabilized by electrostatic repulsion due to surface charges. The …
