Mussel-inspired adhesive and conductive hydrogel with tunable mechanical properties for wearable strain sensors
TL;DR: The developed mussel-inspired 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine acrylamide-polycaprolactone (l-DMA-PCL) hydrogels could serve as the potential wearable strain sensors for biomaterials and healthcare monitoring and provide new insights into the development of hydrogel with adhesiveness, controllable mechanical performance and high strain sensitivity.

Understanding Molecular Interactions of Asphaltenes in Organic Solvents Using a Surface Force Apparatus
Anand Natarajan,Jinggang Xie,Shengqun Wang,Qingxia Liu,Jacob H. Masliyah,Hongbo Zeng,Zhenghe Xu +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a surface force apparatus was used to study the intermolecular forces of asphaltenes in toluene and heptane and the results from this study provide an insight into the basic interaction mechanisms of asphtenes and hence in crude oil and bitumen production.

Effect of solution salinity on settling of mineral tailings by polymer flocculants
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of three polymers, polyacrylamide (PAM), Magnafloc 1011 (MF) and Al(OH)3-polyacryamide (Al-PAM) on the settling of mineral tailings in freshwater and in saline solution were investigated.

pH-Dependent Inversion of Hofmeister Trends in the Water Structure of the Electrical Double Layer
TL;DR: SFG results indicate a direct Hofmeister series of cation adsorption at pH 8 (Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Cs+), with an inversion in SFG intensity trends also occurred at pH < 6, which was attributed to contributions from asymmetric cation hydration and EDL overcharging.
