Even the best products won’t meet expectations if they are packed poorly — packaging matters. The same goes for drug delivery. Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have uncovered the critical ...

Researchers have developed a sensor based on porous crystalline fibers of a fluorescent dendrimer. The high porosity of the fibers increased their adsorption capacity, making their emission behavior ...

Solvatochromism, the phenomenon whereby dyes exhibit colour changes in response to variations in solvent polarity, has long been an invaluable tool in understanding intermolecular interactions. This ...

Solvent polarity controls drug-loading capacity of metal-organic framework carriers. (Nanowerk News) Even the best products won’t meet expectations if they are packed poorly — packaging matters. The ...

Solubility functions by a group of rules that determine how dissolvable a substance (solute) is in solvent and depends entirely on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent. That ...

In the previous “Street Chemist” we discussed the first of several combustion process physical characteristics boiling point. Factors affecting boiling point include molecular weight, polarity, and ...
