Environmental molecular surface science is an expanding area of current research. This
review focuses on advances in the molecular level understanding of oxide surfaces as they …

Total internal reflection (TIR) spectroscopy is a widely used technique to study soft matter at
interfaces. This tutorial review aims to provide researchers with an overview of the …

The Hydrogen Bond and the Water Molecule offers a synthesis of what is known and
currently being researched on the topic of hydrogen bonds and water molecules. The most …

MnO 2 catalysts have been widely studied for catalytic gaseous ozone decomposition.
However, their poor moisture resistance often leads to undesirable catalytic effects in the …

By confining water in a nanoporous structure so narrow that the liquid could not freeze, it is
possible to study properties of this previously undescribed system well below its …

Thin (∼ 100 nm) PET films were treated in pure water and 1% KOH solution and changes in
the chemistry and morphology were followed using FTIR–RAIRS. Degradation was …

This article is the first one in a series dedicated to the study of hyaluronan as observed by IR
spectrometry. The goal is to determine its hydration mechanism and the structural changes …

Spin coating is introduced as a simplified method to prepare model surfaces of cellulose.
Prior to spin coating, trimethylsilyl cellulose (TMSC), a nonpolar derivative of cellulose, is …

The massive amount of sludge was considered one of the significant sinks of microplastics
(MPs). Low-temperature hydrothermal treatment applied as a pretreatment process (eg …

Mixtures of ionic liquid (IL, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate,[BMIM][BF4]) and
water with varying concentrations were studied by attenuated total reflection infrared …
