Cation modifying

Except for the PBS/SAP-qC16 (n-hexadecyl tri-n-butyl phosphonium cation modified saponite) system, the degree of degradation is the same for other samples. This indicates that MMT or alkylammonium cations, and at the same time other properties, have no effect on the biodegradability of PBS. The accelerated degradation of PBS matrix in the presence of SAP-qC16 may be due to the presence of alkylpho-sphonium surfactant. This kind of behavior is also observed in the case of PLA/MMT-based nanocomposite systems. 

The pillaring process also affected the concentration and the strength of acid sites, as confirmed by NH3-TPD (Table 1). Also, the ion exchange with Ni2+ cations modified the acid properties of surfaces new Lewis (nickel cations) and Bronsted (H+) acid sites have been created during the ion exchange and thermal activation (eq. 1), respectively. 

An atypical simultaneous presence of both anionic and cationic modifiers was reported to achieve better efficiency and shorter analysis times, probably because of the competition between the solute and the similarly charged IPR [139-142]. Actually this strategy mimics the collaborative behavior of the cation and the anion when ILs are used as IPRs.

For N-methylhomatropine, the use of the cationic modifier dimethyl-octylamine reduces the value of a relative to the value obtained when the uncharged modifier 2-propanol is used. The same result occurs when the anionic modifier octanoic acid is used. However, the addition of the tetrabutylammonium bromide almost doubles the enantioselectivity relative to the value of a obtained with 2-propanol. When atropine is the solute, poor enantioselectivity is observed with neutral and cationic modifiers, whereas the addition of an anionic modifier, octanoic acid, results in an a of 1.6.

Several methods employing capillary wall modifications have been developed and they can be grouped into several categories dynamic coatings by the addition of a cationic modifier (usually an amine) to the BGE [47,48], permanent coatings by physical adsorption of a cationic modifier (usually a polymer) [47,48], and permanent coating by covalent bonding of a hydrophilic polymeric layer [49]. 

Heterocoagulation is the mutual adhesion of particles of a dissimilar nature upon collision, as a result of their individual Brownian motion. Brownian motion is a stochastic, or random, movement of colloidal particles suspended in a fluid (or gas) as a result of the internal thermal energy of the system, and thus of collisions with the solvent (or gas) molecules, as pointed out independently by Einstein and Smoluchowski. Derjaguin pointed out that the term heteroadagulation should be used for adhesion of small particles that move through Brownian motion onto much larger objects, whose Brownian motion can be neglected, such as fibers [1]. For example, Jachowicz and Berthiaume [2] reported the deposition of cationic, anionic, and neutral silicon oil droplets in the form of oil-in-water emulsions on native or cationically modified human hair fibers, driven by electrostatic forces.

Starches are very common natural products heavily used by the paper and other industries (29). In paper coatings, they are used as both binders and co-binders (thickeners). They naturally occur in two fractions, namely linear amylose and branched amylopectin, with usually the latter being the more abundant. Modification may be performed in numerous ways (29) in order to provide desirable physico-chemical properties, tailored to usage. For example, it is possible to cationically modify starch by using cationization reagents at high pH, in order to produce starches suitable as pigment binders. Nonionic, oxidized, anionic, amphoteric, hydrophobi-cally modified, and other starch variants may also be produced.
