It is known that the adsorption of surfactants at the liquid crystal (LC)/aqueous interface can induce a bipolar-to-radial director configuration of LC droplets dispersed in aqueous solution. In this ...

When two solutions of oppositely charged polymers (polyelectrolytes) are mixed, phase separation occurs and leads to the formation of a polymer-rich phase and a supernatant phase. The precise ...

Previously, self-mending polymeric materials based on physical crosslinking or external stimuli – such as heat and light – have been successfully developed and employed for the mechanical recovery and ...

The adsorption of organic molecules to interfaces is offering a variety of possibilities for the design of novel materials with structures defined on a nanometer scale. So-called ...

The zeta potential of polyethylenimine (PEI) is measured as a function of polymer concentration with the SZ-100 Nanoparticle Analyzer. There is a negative relationship between Zeta potential and ...
