Microcalorimetry, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) have been used to conduct a thermodynamic investigation of the hydrolysis reactions: 1-naphthyl acetate(aq) + H2O(l) = 1 naphthol(aq) +
Microfluidic hydrodynamic focusing of an alcohol/lipid mixture into a narrow fluid stream by two oblique buffer streams provides a controlled and reproducible method of forming phospholipid bilayer vesicles (i.e., liposomes) with relatively monodisperse

Complex fluids have long posed a significant challenge in our ability to characterize and model fluid properties. Here, we consider complex fluids to be mixtures with many components that can differ significantly in polarity and polarizability. The
A local excitation of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and its detection were performed by using an open-ended radio frequency (RF) probe. THe RF probe is composed of a coaxial cable transmitting broadband RF waves over 10 GHz and a sharp tip attached to its

The density and speed of sound of hexadecane have been measured using two instruments. Both instruments use the vibrating-tube method for measuring density. Ambient pressure (83 kPa) density and speed of sound measurements were carried out with a rapid

Application of microreactor technologies enable improved safety, selectivity and yield in a range of chemical reactions in addition to new measurement methods that are often faster, cheaper and more accurate than traditional methods. In this study we have

Epoxy functionalized supports are known to be suitable for industrial-scale immobilization of enzymes for biocatalysis. However, chemistry across these epoxy groups is known to affect the catalytic performance of the enzymes.In order to achieve a balance

ThermoData Engine (TDE) is the first full-scale software implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept. TDE version 3.0 implemented the first application of this concept to the evaluation of thermophysical properties for binary chemical systems
We review the progress in acoustic metrology of gases that has occurred since the 1988 measurement of the universal gas constant R using a spherical acoustic resonator. The advances in understanding resonators and in calculating the thermophysical
