Surface tensiometry of phase separated protein and polymer droplets by the sessile drop method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phase separated macromolecules play essential roles in many biological and synthetic systems. We extend sessile droplet tensiometry to work with small quantities of such ultra-low surface tension droplets.

Surface Tension and Adsorption Studies by Drop Profile Analysis Tensiometry
Surface tension and dilational viscoelasticity of solutions of various surfactants measured with bubble and drop profile analysis tensiometry are discussed. The study also includes experiments on the co-adsorption of surfactant molecules from a solution drop and alkane molecules from saturated alkane vapor phase. Using experimental data for 12 surfactants with different surface activities, it i...
متن کاملSurface-guided templating of particle assemblies inside drying sessile droplets.
The particles suspended inside evaporating sessile droplets can be assembled into microscopic objects with long-ranged ordered structure. The air-water droplet interface guides the assembly and determines the shape of the resulting micropatches. We report the results of a systematic study of the mechanism of interface-templated assembly on substrates of controlled contact angle. The kinetics of...
متن کاملThe measurement of the surface energy of solids by 1 sessile drop accelerometry 2
A new method, the sessile drop accelerometry (SDACC) for the study and measurement of the 7 interfacial energies of solid-liquid-gas systems, is tested and discussed in this study. The laboratory 8 instrument and technique –a combination of a drop shape analyzer with high-speed camera and a 9 laboratory drop towerand the evaluation algorithms, were designed to calculate the interfacial energies...
متن کاملOsteoselection supported by phase separated polymer blend films.
The instability of implants after placement inside the body is one of the main obstacles to clinically succeed in periodontal and orthopedic applications. Adherence of fibroblasts instead of osteoblasts to implant surfaces usually results in formation of scar tissue and loss of the implant. Thus, selective bioadhesivity of osteoblasts is a desired characteristic for implant materials. In this s...
متن کاملQuantitative urine culture by surface drop method.
A simple drop method for quantitative urine culture was developed and tested in comparison with standard methods for bacterial urinary counts. In a group of 452 urines all yielding Escherichia coli, 74 showed counts of more than 100,000 colonies, and 16 showed counts between 10,000 and 100,000 colonies per ml. Of these 90 urines, 3 of the 16 in the doubtful group were false negative with the dr...
