Liquid Pockets Encapsulated in MoS2 Liquid Cells

Sonochemical synthesis of liquid-encapsulated lysozyme microspheres.

Liquid-encapsulated lysozyme microspheres were successfully synthesized using a sonochemical method. The encapsulation of four different liquids, namely, sunflower oil, tetradecane, dodecane and perfluorohexane on the formation, stability and morphology of the lysozyme microspheres was studied. Among the four different liquids used for encapsulation, perfluorohexane-filled microspheres were fou...

Encapsulated liquid sorbents for carbon dioxide capture.

Drawbacks of current carbon dioxide capture methods include corrosivity, evaporative losses and fouling. Separating the capture solvent from infrastructure and effluent gases via microencapsulation provides possible solutions to these issues. Here we report carbon capture materials that may enable low-cost and energy-efficient capture of carbon dioxide from flue gas. Polymer microcapsules compo...

Respiratory mutant and liquid holding recovery inhibition in yeast cells

Background: Cell ability to recover from radiation damage is of great relevance in cancer treatment. It is often believed that the inhibition of cell ability to the liquid holding recovery (LHR) may be an indicator of the overall suppression of cell ability to recover from potentially lethal radiation damage. However, the literature contains no experimental evidence whether the LHR inhibition m...

Compensation defects in annealed undoped liquid encapsulated Czochralski InP

High-resolution NMR studies of encapsulated proteins in liquid ethane.

Many of the difficulties presented by large, aggregation-prone, and membrane proteins to modern solution NMR spectroscopy can be alleviated by actively seeking to increase the effective rate of molecular reorientation. An emerging approach involves encapsulating the protein of interest within the protective shell of a reverse micelle and dissolving the resulting particle in a low viscosity flui...
