Computer simulation and theoretical studies have improved significantly our understanding of the connection between the structural organization of water surrounding hydrophobic solutes and anomalous thermodynamic behavior associated with the 'hydrophobic effect'. Recent studies have yielded the quantitative ...
The stronger deuterium bonds have been considered to enhance the intermolecular and/or intramolecular hydrophobic interactions (Némethy and Scheraga, 1964, Scheiner and Čuma, 1996, Hummer et al., 2000, Paesani and Voth, 2009). The hydrophobic effect is one of the main driving factors for the...
Finally, the hydrophobic effect induces accumulation of Lamp-1 with Ln hydroxide complexes. Full size image Recovery of Dy3+ from nature The unique function of Lamp could have several applications, such as selective recovery of scarce Ln in nature. We examined the fundamental ability of Lamp-1 ...
This could be explained by the fact that the EAPs have not yet expanded, thus the pressure wave impacting the surface, interacts with a smaller gaseous volume along with making contact with the PDMS microstructure walls which absorb most of the acoustic energy as opposed to reflect it. While ...
and 5.5% are obtained by the combined effect of improving oil polarity with doubling the concentration of SO42−ion as tertiary injection mode for Oil20, Oil5, and CO, respectively. This behavior can be explained by the propensity of SO42−ions to interact with the acidic components of ...
(~0.2 to ~0.23%). This is explained by the simultaneous relative decrease in the amount of cellulose which helps to fixate the fibrous network (see section “Hygroexpansion of cellulose”) [158]. Moreover, a new hydrophobic coating has been developed which consists of lignin with vegetable ...
The primary mechanism of action by which a lipid formulation leads to improved bioavailability is usually avoidance of the slow dissolution process which limits the bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs from solid dosage forms. Preferably the formulation allows the drug to remain in a dissolved state thr...
Citation10 However, the detailed antibacterial mechanisms of NPs have not been thoroughly explained, and the same types of NPs often present contrasting effects. The antimicrobial mechanism of action of NPs is generally described as adhering to one of three models: oxidative stress induction,Citation...
Indeed, whereas the hot denaturation is associated to a thermal increment of the conformational fluctuations, the cold transition is mainly related to the weakening of the hydrophobic effect [10•] that becomes unfavorable below a certain temperature compared to hydrophobe–water interactions. At temp...
Therefore, a similar inhibiting effect of OHad can be achieved by the structural improvement in EDL species. Furthermore, the supply of oxygen molecules to the electrode may be improved by weakening the hydrogen-bonding strength around the hydrophobic cations. In summary, we evaluated the ORR ...
