Modified Routes to the “Designer” Surfactant PQS

"Designer"-Surfactant-Enabled Cross-Couplings in Water at Room Temperature.

New methodologies are discussed that allow for several commonly used transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions to be conducted within aqueous micellar nanoparticles at ambient temperatures.

Advanced Surfactant-Modified Wet Anisotropic Etching

In the area of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), bulk micromachining and surface micromachining are two main technologies. Bulk micromachining defines structures by selectively etching inside a substrate while surface micromachining uses a succession of thin film deposition and selective etching on top of a substrate. The two technologies are quite different, resulting in different dimen...

Stabilized by a Hydrophobically Modified Inulin Surfactant

Surfactant-induced lysis of lipid-modified microgels.

Lipid layers supported on hydrophilic polymer cushions have attracted considerable attention, not only because they provide a cell-like environment for transmembrane protein incorporation, but also because the lipid membrane creates a thin barrier that is able to maintain a chemical gradient.1 These properties have inspired the preparation of novel types of hybrids that combine lipids and hydro...

Introducing the Karganrood River as one of the safe routes to release sturgeon

The aim of this study was to introduce the Karganrood River as one of the safe routes for releasing sturgeon fry. Karganrood River is located in the west of Gilan province in Talesh city. In the river, 3 sampling stations were considered. The range of changes in dissolved oxygen was 8.21 to 8.87 mg/l. The pH value ranged from 9 to 9.43. The amount of ammonia in station 3 was highest and in stat...
