Cyclodextrins are able to act as host molecules in supramolecular chemistry with
applications ranging from pharmaceutics to detergency. Among guest molecules surfactants …

Foaming is an essential unit operation in several food processing industries. Although
foaming is advantageous for a few industries, it causes huge losses in others. Foam …

In this study, we report the application of branched alkyl polyethers as novel defoamers for
concrete for the first time. A series of branched polyether defoamers with the same ethylene …

Antifoams are often added to bioprocesses with little knowledge of their impact on the cells
or product. However, it is known that certain antifoams can affect the growth rates of both …

In this study, we report the synthesis and properties of different alkyl alcohol polyethers as
the defoamers for concrete. A series of alkyl alcohol polyethers with the same ethylene oxide …

In this study, a series of polyether-type defoamers for concrete which consist of the same
alkyl chain (hydrophobic part) but different polyether chains (hydrophilic part) was prepared …

Recent developments are summarized in understanding antifoaming action by oil drops and
solid particles, either separately or in combination, on aqueous foams. Of particular …

The generation of foam during the course of a bioprocess remains a major technological
challenge to be resolved and needs further investigation. The foaming tendency of the …

Background Pichia pastoris is a widely-used host for recombinant protein production. Initial
screening for both suitable clones and optimum culture conditions is typically carried out in …

Bubbles or foams appear in many industrial processes, bringing inconvenience; yet, efficient
capture or removal of them is still challenging. In this study, we report the synthesis and …
