Dielectric Constant for the Dioxane—Water System from 20 to 35°

Use Liposome as a Designable Platform for Molecular Recognition ~ from “Statistical Separation” to “Recognitive Separation” ~

“…Because lipid membranes have a hydrophobicity gradient in the vertical direction of the lipid bilayers [28], fluorescent probes reflect the micro-environmental information, depending on their binding depth. TNS and Laurdan are polar probes, and their emission peaks were blue shifted and their fluorescence intensities increased in proportion to the hydrophobicity of the solvents [27,[29][30]. In the presence of liposomes, the ranges of the TNS emission wavelengths were 438-446 nm, indicating that TNS is inserted at water-membrane interface regions (: [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

Furthermore, the intensity of TNS fluorescence was higher in the 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) liposome, while it was lower in the 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) liposome at 25 °C, indicating that the membrane surface of DOPC was more hydrophobic than that of DPPC.…”

Capillary zone electrophoretic studies of ion association between inorganic anions and tetraalkylammonium ions in aqueous–dioxane media

“…dielectric constants or viscosity, can be varied continuously by merely changing their solvent composition. 1, 4-dioxane has been widely researched [1][2][3][4][5] as an organic component in binary solutions, partly because of its uniquely low dielectric constant (ε = 2.2) compared to water's (ε = 78.8) and high miscibility with water. Therefore, aqueous-dioxane solvent system is particularly suitable for studies in which analysis over a wide range of dielectric constants is required.…”

Crystallinity of Supercooled Oxide Melts Quantified by Electrical Capacitance Measurements

“…Ultrapure water (with a specific resistance of 18.0 MΩ·cm) was used as a dispersion medium, while Table 1. [25][26][27][28] Ultrapure water and solid phases described above were weighed to obtain the specified values of solid volume fractions. The oxide powders were uniformly dispersed in ultrapure water by ultrasonic stirring, after which a crucible with the sample was placed into the capacitance-measuring device depicted in Fig.…”
