This helps form emulsions by reducing the interfacial tension between the two phases, usually by acting as a surfactant and adsorbing to the interface.
12.
As a heterogenous assay, ELISA separates some component of the analytical reaction mixture by adsorbing certain components onto a solid phase which is physically immobilized.
13.
Direct interactions are between adjacent adsorbed molecules, which could make adsorbing near another adsorbate molecule more or less favorable and greatly affects high-coverage behavior.
14.
In addition, adsorbing biomass, or biosorbents, can also remove other harmful metals like : arsenic, lead, cadmium, cobalt, chromium and uranium.
15.
Tirrell conceived and implemented the first experimental system to test these predictions by adsorbing block copolymers, and demonstrated the theoretically anticipated stretching and long-range repulsion.
16.
The mechanism of detection is based on that the adsorbing molecules cause changes in the local index of refraction, changing the resonance conditions of the surface plasmon waves.
17.
It can also be used to destabilize suspensions by adsorbing oppositely charged chains to the particle surface, neutralizing the zeta-potential and causing flocculation or coagulation of contaminants.
18.
Though not all freeze-avoidant insects produce polyols, all hibernating insects produce adsorbing to the developing crystals to inhibit their growth and reduce the chance of lethal freezing occurring.
19.
For example, positively polarized electrodes will have a layer of negative ions at the electrode / electrolyte interface along with a charge-balancing layer of positive ions adsorbing onto the negative layer.
20.
Helium is separated from natural gas either by adsorbing the other gases in materials like charcoal or by compressing and cooling the other gases until all but the helium are liquefied, then pumping off the helium.
