Why Do Tetrapropylammonium Chloride and Sulphate Salts Destabilize the Native State of Globular Proteins? by Giuseppe Graziano

“…This happens because TPA+ ions are so large in size and interact so weakly with water molecules, due to their very low charge density, to be able to counteract the electrostrictive effect of chloride and sulphate ions on the water structure, so that the density of their aqueous solutions is smaller or only slightly larger than that of water.…”

Adsorption of Cationic and Anionic Dyes onto Commercial Kaolin by D. Ziólkowska, A. Shyichuk, I. Karwasz, M. Witkowska

“…The values of the adsorption capacity of kaolin towards the cationic dyes ranged from 4 mg/g to 29 mg/g, being probably dependent on the geometry of the dye molecules. The resulting degrees of decolourization attained values of 85–90% for initial dye concentrations in the range 6–20 mg/dm 3 and for kaolin loadings of 0.5–3 g/dm 3 . …”

Nanotechnology and Tumor Imaging: Seizing an Opportunity by Daniel C. Sullivan, Mauro Ferrari

“…For example, many hundreds or thousands of atoms that provide imaging signals, such as radioisotopes, lanthanides, or fluorophores, can be attached to each nanoparticle, to form imaging agents that would provide higher sensitivity that can be obtained from agents based on small molecules. Similarly, many copies of targeted ligands can be attached to nanoparticles to markedly inrease specific binding. …”
