Large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of liquid drops spreading on a solid substrate have been carried out for very wide range solid-liquid interactions and equilibrium contact angles. The results these systems are shown to be consistent with the molecular-kinetic theory (MKT) dynamic wetting, which emphasizes role contact-line friction as principal channel energy dissipation. Several predictions confirmed. These include quantitative link between wetting work adhesion existence an...
A series of linear polyethylenimine (lPEI) substituted with histidine residue (His-lPEI) was synthesized using the Michael reaction in order to provide new highly efficient vectors for gene therapy applications (up 95% transfected cells) remarkable low cytotoxicity compared lPEI-based polyplexes.
A novel electronic nose system comprising functionalized β-cyclodextrin wrapped reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sensors with distinct ability of discrimination a set volatile organic compounds has been developed. Non-covalent modification chemically cyclodextrin RGO is carried out by using pyrene adamantane as linker wherever necessary, in order to construct supramolecular assembly. The chemical functionality on varied utilising the principle selective cyclodextrin. In present study, combined...
Furfural oxidation with hydrogen peroxide was performed using sulfated zirconia as an acid catalyst within the temperature range of 40–90 °C. The catalytic behavior due to its acidic character different from a previously studied fibrous polymer-supported sulfonic Smopex-101. While maleic and succinic acids along 2(5-H)-furanone formic were formed, selectivity lower. Moreover, significant amounts 5-hydroxy-2(5-H)-furanone generated confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In parallel...
Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations are used to model the dewetting of solid surfaces by partially wetting thin liquid films. Two levels solid-liquid interaction considered that give rise large equilibrium contact angles. The initial length and thickness films varied over a wide range at nanoscale. Spontaneous is initiated removing band molecules either from each end film or its center. As observed experimentally in previous simulations, recede an initially constant speed, creating...
We give a phenomenological overview of recently discovered complex wetting states in simple liquid mixtures relevant to both fundamental research and industrial applications such as oil recovery. Alkanes on water show sequence two transitions, from partial `frustrated-complete wetting', finally complete wetting: first-order thin-thick transition between microscopic mesoscopic adsorbed alkane film is followed by long-range critical macroscopic layer. The existence the new wetting' state...
We provide a quantitative experimental determination of the fluctuation repulsion that stabilizes wetting films in systems for which interfacial tension one two interfaces bounding film is low. This achieved by studying different alkanes on water, presence surfactant. The results agree well with theoretical calculation membrane under vanishing surface tension.

Ionization and fragmentation are at the core of mass spectrometry. But they not separated in space, as in-source can also occur. Here we survey literature published since our 2005 review on internal energy electrospray ionization sources (Gabelica & De Pauw, Mass Spectrom. Rev. 2005, 24, 566). We present new thermometer molecules to diagnose quantify source heating, provide tables recommended threshold (E0) appearance energies (Eapp) for survival yield method, systematically compare...

Abstract Two methods of survival yields ( SY ) measurement treatment thermometer ions whose fragmentation is activated by in‐source collision induced dissociation have been investigated for evaluating the mean internal (< E int >) and thermal therm energies gaseous produced electrospray ionization cold‐spray (CSI). One based on use energy distributions P )) as sigmoid derivatives connecting experimental different substituted benzylpyridinium cations. The < > values are therefore...
