Among the interfaces produced by the pairing the liquid-liquid interface is most slippery and difficult to be studied experimentally in comparison with the gas-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces as the liquid-liquid interface is flexible thin and buried between bulk... Lees meer.

The necessary need to develop more sustainable chemical processes and the success of homogeneous catalysis relying on molecular organometallic chemistry has led the community of molecular chemists to investigate the preparation of single-site heterogeneous catalysts.... Lees meer.

Fluid penetration into capillary tubes resulting from the interplay between solid-liquid adhesive interactions and liquid-liquid cohesive interactions is a ubiquitous phenomenon. A wide variety of technological applications e.g. oil extraction through porous rocks was... Lees meer.

Describing novel methods and catalytic strategies to conserve and maintain air water and soil quality this title discusses the role of interface science in environmental remediation. It details approaches to separate reuse recover and treat potentially valuable ma... Lees meer.

Understanding the characteristics of material contact and lubrication at tribological interfaces is of great importance to engineering researchers and machine designers. Traditionally contact and lubrication are separately studied due to technical difficulties althoug... Lees meer.

Therefore beginning in the 70s many spectroscopic and diffraction techniques were applied to the study of the electrode-electrolyte interface in order to identify intermediary reaction species and even the spatial arrangement of atoms or molecules at the interface.... Lees meer.

Focuses on electroviscoelasticity and describes a theory that may impact other research and applications as the modeling of liquid-liquid interfaces is key to numerous chemical manufacturing processes including those for emulsions suspensions nanopowders foams bioc... Lees meer.

Offers guidance for selecting the appropriate characterization methods for analyzing powders and fibers. Using these techniques this work explores the behavior of solid-gas solid-rubber solid-solid solid-liquid and biological interfaces. It demonstrates the use of... Lees meer.
