... was performed on a Euro Vector 2000 CHNS-3 instrument; the halogen content was determined by pyrolysis in oxygen stream. The surface tension of amphiphiles solutions in the absence and presence of BSA was measured using the Du Nouy ring detachment method using a Krűss K06 tensiometer and a platinum ring...

... and surface/interfacial tension measurement. Compared with CSF-1, which was prepared with the one-step approach, a higher fluorine (F) content and a lower crystallinity degree were detected for CSF-2, which was prepared with the two-step approach. The surface tension, critical micelle concentration and oil...
