The increasing demand for clean industrial processes has intensified the use of electrodialysis in the treatment of metal containing effluents and encourages the investigation of the different phenomena involved in the ...

The membrane translocation efficiency of cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) has been largely studied, and poly-arginines have been highlighted as particularly active CPPs, especially upon negatively charged membranes. Here ...

L-ascorbic acid alkyl esters (ASCn) are lipophilic forms of vitamin C, which act as skin permeation enhancers. We investigated the physical changes induced by incorporating ASCn into stratum corneum (SC) lipid membranes ...

Detergents can selectively solubilize membrane constituents by incorporating them into small micelles, whereas other components may remain in the socalled detergent-resistant membrane fragments. This differential ...

The study of surfactant and bio membranes interaction is particularly complex due to the diversity in lipid composition and the presence of proteins in natural membranes. Even more difficult is the study of this interaction ...

This work describes a setup for the experimental and theoretical study of the mass transport of a penetrant through a two-dimensional model-material microstructure consisting in a homogeneous matrix with slender obstacles. ...
