Coal gasification slag (CGS) is the main by-product of coal gasification technology, and the
utilization of CGS as mineral admixture is environmentally sound. In this paper, the effect …

A ferrocene surfactant can be switched between single and double head form (FcN+
C12/Fc+ N+ C12) triggered by redox reaction. FcN+ C12 can neither stabilize an O/W …

The naturally occurring yellow polyphenolic medicinal pigment curcumin shows ultrafast
dynamics in the excited states. These ultrafast dynamics are strongly influenced by the …

Ag and Au nanoparticles (NPs) were used as color indicators to determine the
monomer/micelle adsorption on the NP surface. A simple methodology based on the color …

Surface-active ionic liquid (SAIL) surfactants have attracted attention as promising
alternatives to conventional surfactants because of their tailor-made and tunable properties …

A new amino acid-based ionic liquid of 1-methyl-3-dodecane imidazolium aspartic acid ([C n
mim] Asp IL, n= 4, 6, 8, 12, 14) was reported as a soft matrix to be used as a novel …

Critical micellar concentration (CMC) is a key physicochemical property of surfactants used
to study their behaviour. This property is affected by factors such as temperature, pressure …

Radioactive cesium isotopes constitute a significant fraction of nuclear wastewater
contaminants, and the high solubility of cesium as an alkali metal poses challenges to its …

Surface active agents derived from the non-toxic sweetener sucralose and fatty acids of
different chain length were synthesized. Obtained compounds were characterized …

In the realm of colloid and interface science, new types of green surfactants, including
anionic Pluronic alcohol ether carboxylate (AEC), branched alkyl glucoside (IG), and …
