A microemulsion is a thermodynamically stable dispersion of two immiscible fluids stabilized by surfactants. Owing to the capacity to simultaneously host a variety of polar and nonpolar species, micro...
Researchers at the State Key Laboratory for Oxo Synthesis and Selective Oxidation, Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have synthesized a series of acidic-...
Biofouling, which is the undesirable growth of marine organisms on artificial surfaces including ship hulls, aquaculture cages, and pipelines, may cause serious problems for mariners, such as excessiv...
Mixed-mode chromatography (MMC) is a type of chromatography in which the chromatographic stationary phase interacts with solutes through more than one interaction mode. MMC has some advantages over co...
Efficient extraction of hydrophilic and polar compounds from samples with a polar matrix is comparatively more difficult, owing to their high affinities with sample matrix. Coating materials for polar...
Porous polymers have received much interest due to their wide range of applications in catalysis, gas separation, structure replication, electrode materials, etc. It is particularly appealing to synth...
Although the technology of absorption refrigeration and heat pump has been widely used in the field of low-grade energy (such as industrial waste heat and geothermal sources), it can’t meet the divers...
Cellulose is a kind of biomaterials with properties of biodegradability, biocompatibility and stability and has been widely used for biorenewable resource research. However, cellulose is insoluble in ...
Owing to their unique properties, ionic liquids (ILs) nowadays are very fascinating in various fields, including organic synthesis, catalysis, inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry, and materials. The...
