Specific ion effects occur everywhere. They occur in bulk solutions and at interfaces
(air/water, oil/water, solid/water, macromolecule/water, etc.). They are even found in …

Specific ion effects in aqueous polymer solutions have been under active investigation over
the past few decades. The current state-of-the-art research is primarily focused on the …

We present an overview of the studies of ion pairing in aqueous media of the past decade. In
these studies, interactions between ions, and between ions and water, are investigated with …

The classical Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory of colloids, and
corresponding theories of electrolytes, are unable to explain ion specific forces between …

Continuum electrostatics models for ions in water provide apparent long range electrostatic
explanations for the forces on ions. However the electro-chemical free energy of solvation of …

Better predictive ability of salt and buffer effects on protein–protein interactions requires
separating out contributions due to ionic screening, protein charge neutralization by ion …

The effects of a series of Hofmeister anions on the phase behaviors of a poly (ethylene
oxide)-b-poly (propylene oxide)-b-poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO–PPO–PEO) triblock copolymer …

Although the understanding of ion specific effects on the aqueous solubilities of
biomolecules is crucial for the development of many areas of biochemistry and life sciences …

The effect of three organic electrolytes, viz. tetrapropylammonium bromide (C 12 H 28 NBr),
tetrabutylammonium bromide (C 16 H 36 NBr), and tetrapentylammonium bromide (C 20 H …

Protein analyses by electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry can suffer from
interferences caused by nonvolatile salts. The mechanistic basis of this effect remains to be …
