An insight into recent PM1 aerosol light scattering properties and particle number concentration variabilities at the suburban site ATOLL in Northern France

The impact of aerosol particles in the PM1 size fraction (particles smaller than 1 µm) on climate is multifaceted. Black carbon, found exclusively in the PM1 aerosol fraction, is the most effective aerosol light absorber, contributing to local atmospheric warming. In contrast, sulfate aerosols and secondary organic aerosols predominantly have a co…

Introduction of Phosphinine Ring into Aromatic Systems via Alkyne Cyclization

Preparing organophosphorus π-conjugated systems is one of the long-standing themes of the Research Group of Advanced Materials and Organic Synthesis (GAMOS). These systems have become the subject of intense study in recent years because the introduction of a phosphorus cycle into the polycyclic aromatic compounds not only increases the solubility …

Chiral membranes prepared by modification of anion exchange membranes sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrins by ion interactions

Enantiomers are substances composed of the same number and type of atoms that are mirror images of each other. Enantiomers have practically identical physicochemical properties, but their reactions with other chiral substances can differ fundamentally. Several enzymes and receptors involved in biochemical processes show stereoselectivity. For this …

Photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceuticals by visible light using thin films of graphitic carbon nitride

The release of pharmaceuticals and their metabolites into the environment poses pollution risks with consequences for fauna and flora that are not yet fully known or understood. Photocatalytic degradation of these substances by graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) using visible light could reduce these risks. In this work, g-C3N4 was investigated in…

Theory for electrodiffusional wall shear stress measurement by directionally sensitive twin semicircular probe

For a precise understanding of the transport phenomena between a solid wall and a fluid, it is essential to have a detailed description of the hydrodynamic behavior in the immediate vicinity of the surface. The electrodiffusion method offers significant potential in this regard, as it relates measured electric currents to local hydrodynamic propert…

Amphiphilic phosphonium carbosilane dendrons with tunable structure for nanomedicine

Amphiphilic materials containing a hydrophilic and hydrophobic domain within their molecule tend to self-assemble in aqueous solutions into complex supramolecular systems—micelles or bilayers of diverse geometries. This phenomenon is largely exploited by all living organisms, namely for forming cell membranes and derived objects responsible for …
