Addressing chemical pollution in biodiversity research

Climate change, biodiversity loss, and chemical pollution are planetary-scale emergencies requiring urgent mitigation actions. As these "triple crises" are deeply interlinked, they need to be tackled in an integrative manner. However, while climate change ...

Arrested demixing opens route to bigels

Giuseppe Foffi, Nicolas Dorsaz, Francesco Varrato, Maxim Belushkin

Understanding and, ultimately, controlling the properties of amorphous materials is one of the key goals of material science. Among the different amorphous structures, a very important role is played by colloidal gels. It has been only recently understood ...

Phase separation in binary eye lens protein mixtures

Giuseppe Foffi, Nicolas Dorsaz

Liquid–liquid phase separation occurs in young mammalian eye lenses and in concentrated solutions of isolated eye lens proteins, and has been linked to some forms of cataract. Here we study theoretically the protein compositions and cloud temperatures of t ...

Reaction-Induced Phase Separation in Poly(vinyl acetate)/ Polyester Blend

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud, Xavier Bulliard

In blends of unsaturated polyester (UP), poly (vinyl acetate) (PVAc), and styrene, a reaction-induced phase separation occurs upon curing that is due to the crosslinking between styrene and the UP molecules. The evolution of the morphology was observed by ...

Arrested phase separation in a short-ranged attractive colloidal system: A numerical study

Giuseppe Foffi

We numerically investigate the competition between phase separation and dynamical arrest in a colloidal system interacting via a short-ranged attractive potential. Equilibrium fluid configurations are quenched at two different temperatures below the critic ...

Motility-Induced Microphase and Macrophase Separation in a Two-Dimensional Active Brownian Particle System

Pasquale Digregorio

As a result of nonequilibrium forces, purely repulsive self-propelled particles undergo macrophase separation between a dense and a dilute phase. We present a thorough study of the ordering kinetics of such motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) in activ ...

Optimal Search Strategies for Pollutant Source Localization

Auke Ijspeert, Mohammadreza Bayat

This paper is aimed at developing optimal motion planning for a single autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) equipped with an on-board pollutant sensor that will maximize the sensor-related information available for source seeking. The ASV uses a nonlinear diff ...

Sulfamethoxazole and isoproturon degradation and detoxification by a laccase-mediator system: Influence of treatment conditions and mechanistic aspects

David Andrew Barry, Urs von Gunten, Christof Holliger, Jonas Margot

The potential of laccase-mediator systems (LMS) for the removal and detoxification of two wastewater micropollutants, the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and the herbicide isoproturon (IPN), was assessed. The influence of various parameters on micropollu ...

Activated carbon fibers for efficient VOC removal from diluted streams: the role of surface morphology

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Guillaume Bastien Baur

The effect of the micropore structure of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) on the adsorption of toluene at low concentration (10-80 ppmv) was studied over two types of ACFs. Both adsorbents presented similar surface chemistry but different porous structure: o ...

Faceted phospholipid vesicles tailored for the delivery of Santolina insularis essential oil to the skin

Davide Demurtas

The aim of this work was to formulate Santolina insularis essential oil-loaded nanocarriers, namely Penetration Enhancer containing Vesicles (PEVs), evaluate the physico-chemical features and stability, and gain insights into their ability to deliver the o ...

Hydration states of AFm cement phases

Karen Scrivener

The AFm phase, one of the main products formed during the hydration of Portland and calcium aluminate cement based systems, belongs to the layered double hydrate (LDH) family having positively charged layers and water plus charge-balancing anions in the in ...

On the optimal frequency of multiple generation product introductions

Ralf Seifert, Shuangqing Liao

This paper considers a firm that introduces multiple generations of a product to the market at regular intervals. We assume that the firm has only a single production generation in the market at any time. To maximize the total profit within a given plannin ...

Biomechanics of plant anchorage at early development stage

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier

We propose a minimal model for the response of seedlings to pullout constraints. Central to our approach is the idea of capturing not only average mechanical properties but also the stochastic component of the uprooting process. Our model accounts on one h ...
