The kinetics of molecular transportation through lipid membranes are key information for
understanding many biophysical processes in real cells or protocells. Second harmonic …

Polarimetric angle-resolved second-harmonic scattering (AR-SHS) is an all-optical tool
enabling the study of unlabeled interfaces of nano-sized particles in an aqueous solution. As …

Oily wastewater not only causes major environmental issues, but also threatens human
health. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are an attractively alternative commercial …

An anomalous maximum in the ionic strength dependent electrophoretic mobility curves has
been observed in previous reports from particles dispersed in colloids. This maximum has …

Probing the behavior of surfactants at oil–water interfaces is crucial to understand their
functionality. In this work, we present detection of the adsorption of several common …

Hypothesis The monoalkyl diamine surfactant, N-dodecylpropane-1, 3-diamine (DPDA), is
expected to exhibit a pH-dependent charge switchability. In response to pH changes, the …

Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted significant attention in research because of their
wide applicability in various areas. Because the properties of metallic NPs can be regulated …

Eco-friendliness and low cost are critical when investigating new oil–water separation
agents with high separation efficiencies for the treatment of emulsified oily wastewater in …

The interaction, including the adsorption and embedding, of a widely applied anticancer
drug, doxorubicin, with a lipid membrane was investigated. Second harmonic generation …

Emulsions are indispensable in everyday life, and the demand for emulsions' diversity and
control of properties is therefore substantial. As emulsions possess a high internal surface …
