Lactose-Functionalized Carbosilane Glycodendrimers with Binding to Galectins

Galectins (Gal), proteins that bind carbohydrate ligands of glycans, represent a fundamental regulatory system that modulates many biological processes. Advances in Gal-targeted therapy must be based on a detailed understanding of ligand and protein recognition mechanisms. For glycodendrimer-based multivalent ligands (glyco-DDMs), the so-called mul…

Membrane technology for challenging separations: Removal of CO2, SO2 and NOx from flue and waste gases

Based on the numerous studies that have been published so far, it can be stated that different membranes in different forms, with a wide range of chemical, physical, and transport properties and different operating principles, offer excellent possibilities for the efficient separation of different gas mixtures. While the performance of non-porous m…

Interactions of cationic surfactant-fatty alcohol monolayers with natural human hair surface: Insights from dissipative particle dynamics

Fatty alcohols (CnFAs) combined with cationic surfactants are common ingredients of lamellar-phase personal care liquids. We employ mesoscopic modelling to study how surfactant-CnFA monolayers originating from the corresponding bilayers of the personal care liquids interact with the human hair surface above and below the fluid-gel transition temper…

Separation ability of nanoporous cellulose membranes in organic solvents

Cellulose, as a renewable material with unique properties, is utilized also for the fabrication of filters and membranes for a wide application range starting at common filtration and reaching the border between ultrafiltration and nanofiltration, where the pore size is in the nanometer scale. While these membranes are typically applied in an aqueo…

Experimental and numerical study of the flux of isobutane vapors near saturation through multi-layered ceramic membranes

Capillary condensation of vapors in small pores can significantly affect the efficiency of gas separation through a porous membrane. It occurs under pressure conditions close to the saturated vapor pressure of the condensable gas. During the condensation of one component of a separated mixture, the transport of not only this component (condensable …

Modification of the Optical Properties of Helicenes using Push-Pull Systems Based on Phosphine Oxide

Non-planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have seen growing interest in recent years as alternatives to planar aromatics and nanographenes in a variety of applications. This is largely due to their convenient optical and electronic properties, different intermolecular interactions, or increased solubility. The effective use of these compounds req…
