The surface stability and resulting transmission of the SARS-CoV-2, specifically in indoor environments, have been identified as a potential pandemic challenge requiring investigation. This novel virus can be found on ...

Cu2O low-index surfaces periodic models have been simulated based on density functional theory. The calculated surfaces energies allowed estimating the morphology by means of the Wulff theorem as well as the investigation ...

The absorbances in the uv region of sodium p-toluene sulfonate, sodium toluate, sodium benzene sulfonate and sodium phenyl phosphate have been measured in the presence of increasing amounts of cetyl trimethyl ammonium ...

The interactions of neutral molecules with ionic micelles are analyzed. The cell and mass action models are presented in order to provide a semiquantitative description of the solubilization process. Both approaches are ...

The calculation of the surface-induced enhancement of the binding energy of hydrogen impurities in transition metals, previously reported for close-packed surfaces, are extended to open surfaces in the fcc and bcc structures. ...

It has been recognized that physical and chemical properties of biomaterial surfaces mediate the quality of extracellular matrix (ECM) that may affect cell behaviors. In nature, ECM is a heterogeneous three-dimensional ...

The adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at an air/water interface was shown to be reversible and the equilibrium adsorption isotherm measured for concentrations between 0.001% and 10.0%. The desorption of BSA into a ...
