Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions.

PVDF-HFP (poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene), Mw=400 000, Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI, USA), PFDTMS (1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorodecyltrimethoxysilane, TCI ...

Oil and water are both liquids, but they don't mix well, demonstrating a phenomenon known as liquid-liquid phase separation. In recent years, scientists have found that cells use phase separation, in ...

The separation process can be conducted using various instruments, but the most fitting method depends on the mixture’s properties. This article covers the importance of solid-liquid separation in the ...

Scientists elucidated characteristics of PAS through observing the Atg protein using a fluorescence microscope and successfully reconstituted PAS in vitro. The team revealed, for the first time, that ...

A water wash has been found that effectively recovers the solvent in the IFPEXOL process by pulling dissolved methanol into water for subsequent removal. The water-solvent mixture and hydrocarbon have ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...

Chemidroplet is a chemical tool, that fused the BTB-containing domain to the multivalent DNA binding domain (DBD) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) to readily control the LLPS of these ...
