Better chemistry through ceramics: The physical bases of the outstanding chemistry of ORMOSIL

Article Abstract:

The physicochemical bases of ORMOSIL's superior performance in many applications that in its historic development is an example of the interdisciplinary nature of modern chemical research in which biology, physics, materials and computational science are all put together to afford a variety of chemical devices with large applicative potential is discussed. Doped ORMOSIL offer the opportunity to utilize in a positive way geometric imperfection.

Slow water diffusion in micellar solutions

Article Abstract:

Slowly diffusing water molecules were found by quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) in a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar solution, and both their diffusion coefficient and mole fraction were determined. The experimental results are qualitatively explained by assuming that, apart from ionic hydration, H-bonds may form between the solvent molecules and the O or N atoms present in the hydrophilic groups of the micelle-forming monomers.
