As an intermediate state between liquid and solid materials, hydrogels display unique
properties, opening a wide scope of applications, especially in the biomedical field. Organic …

Aquaphotomics is a novel scientific discipline involving the study of water and aqueous
systems. Using light-water interaction, it aims to extract information about the structure of …

The potential of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) in the region from 1,100 to 2,500 nm to
measure somatic cell count (SCC) content of cow's milk was investigated. A total of 196 milk …

Hydrogen bonding interactions play an important role in many chemical and physical
processes occurring in bulk liquids and at interfaces. In this study, hydrous species (H2O …

There is a plethora of experimental data on the dynamics of water in mixtures with glycerol,
ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol oligomers, poly (ethylene glycol) 400 and 600, propanol …

The conversion of the normal cellular prion protein to an abnormal isoform is considered to
be causal to the prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. The prion …

Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement is a sulfate-based binder whose high-performance
hydraulic behavior depends on the rapid formation of ettringite, when grinded clinker is …

Deep inelastic neutron scattering measurements of water confined in nanoporous xerogel
powders, with average pore diameters of 24 and 82 Å⁠, have been carried out for pore …

SiO2-polyacrylic acid hybrid hydrogel was synthesized using sodium silicate (SS) as
precursor through sol–gel technology. The result showed a core–shell structure was formed …

Here, we present the first examination of the state of water under a soft confinement in eight
aliphatic alcohols including cyclopentanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, 1 …
