We're all familiar with silica gel packets — the small bagged packets found in vitamin bottles, shoe boxes, and electronics, along with other goods. Even if you don't immediately recognize the ...

Anywhere that moisture is a problem, silica gel packets can help alleviate the issue. Keep them stored in an airtight ...

A Thai man sought legal advice after a restaurant served him fried rice containing desiccant, or silica gel, which made him ...

Don't throw these little bags out! Silica bags are found with new shoes and electronics. They contain silicon dioxide, aka "silica." Silica can absorb moisture and keep things dry. Here's how ...

Here, the authors report the development of the formation of wormlike micelles, which change phase following dilution to give gel-sol-gel-sol ... during synthesis on silica aerogels and ...

Mineral scaling, a significant issue in membrane desalination, reduces water recovery rates and diminishes system performance. Gypsum and silica, are ...

In contrast, silica scaling arises from the polymerization of silicic acid, producing amorphous, adhesive scales that form a gel-like layer on membranes, causing nearly irreversible flux decline.
