Abstract A diverse array of experimental techniques was used to compare protein sorption and transport on agarose‐based resins with and without dextran extenders. Van 't Hoff plots indicated similar trends for lysozyme on the resins, with enthalpically dominated sorption. Salt breakthrough curves demonstrated signific…

The density and intermolecular structure of water in carbon micropores (w = 1.36 nm) are investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements between 20 K and 298 K. The SAXS results suggest that the density of the water in the micropores increased with increasing temperature ov…

This paper describes the electro-optic response of a suspension of disk-like colloids. We have considered aqueous suspensions of Gibbsite platelets and measured the electrically induced birefringence in the broad frequency range 10(2)-10(8) Hz. When simply dispersed in an electrolyte solution, these particles orient w…
