We use pervaporation-based microfluidic devices to concentrate species in aqueous solutions with spatial and temporal control of the process. Using experiments and modeling, we quantitatively describe the advection-diffusion behavior of the concentration field of various solutions (electrolytes, colloids, etc.) and demonstrate the potential of these devices as universal tools for the kinetic ex...

Various electrolytes in test solutions applied to the skin were evaluated with regard to their effects on enhanced skin permeation of calcein as a model permeant by electroporation (EP), which is a physical means to increase skin penetration by applying a high voltage pulse on the skin surface. Calcein solution (1.0 mM) containing different electrolytes at a concentration of 150 mM was applied ...

The electrolyte is an indispensable component in all electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices with batteries being a prime example. While most research efforts have been pursued on the materials side, the progress for the electrolyte is slow due to the decomposition of salts and solvents at low potentials, not to mention their complicated interactions with the electrode materials. ...

BACKGROUND Polyethylene glycol is commonly used to manage constipation and is available with or without electrolytes. The addition of electrolytes dates back to its initial development as lavage solutions in preparation for gastrointestinal interventions. The clinical utility of the addition of electrolytes to polyethylene glycol for the management of constipation is not established. The object...

Solutions of calcium chloride in mixed water and formamide are excellent electrolytes for capacitive charge storage in partially oxidised carbon nanotubes at unprecedented sub-zero-temperatures (e.g. 67% capacitance retention at -60 °C).

We study the convergence rates of solutions to drift-diiusion systems (arising from plasma, semiconductors and electrolytes theories) to their self-similar or steady states. This analysis involves entropy-type Lyapunov functionals and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

No molecular theory of the specific heat of liquids has been deduced till now. The considerations given in this paper may be regarded as a first attempt to solve that problem. Most molecular theories of solutions regard the solvent as a continuum, treating only the solute as composed of molecules. In this theory this simplification is made wherever possible. For the treatment of certain phenome...
