TL;DR: In this article, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) were used to provide new insights into the interlayer structure and morphology of HDTMA+/montmorillonite organoclays.

TL;DR: Novel surfactant-modified montmorillonite results in the formation of new nanophases with the potential for the removal of organic impurities from aqueous media.

TL;DR: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in conjunction with the bulk techniques has allowed a more thorough assessment of the apatites, and has enabled the constituents in these closely related apatite powders to be identified.

TL;DR: Alginate macro beads are more effective than micro beads in protecting L. acidophilus against high acid and bile environment and the continuous processing capability and scale-up potential of the dual aerosol technique offers potential for an efficient encapsulation of probiotics in very small alginate micro beads below sensorial detection limits while still being able to confer effective protection in acid andbile environment.

TL;DR: Experimental evidence is presented that indicates that intense bursts of particles are associated with temperature fluctuations and it is suggested that the difference between high and low emitters lies in the speed and sophistication of the temperature control.
