“The adsorption of surfactant molecules onto the aggregate surface changes the nature the surface from hydrophilic to hydrophobic.”

“This could be explained by the balance between the protein adsorption and the lipid adsorption.”

“Separation of charged solutes can also cause problems owing to adsorption or electrophoretic migration.”

“An adsorbed substance is termed an adsorbate while the material on which adsorption occurs is the substrate.”

“It was found that some species of adsorbed proteins or peptides insert in such a way as to form pores at a sufficiently high adsorbate concentration.”
