This lab manual guides chemists through demonstrations of synergistic effects between polyelectrolytes and nanoparticles. After a short introduction into the field of polyelectrolytes and polyelectrolyte characterization, the book discusses the role of polyelectrolytes in the process of nanoparticle formation. The book also explains methods for characterization of the polyelectrolyte-modified nanoparticles.
This volume is dedicated to Doctor Shuji Saito to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his first paper on polymer-surfactant interaction published in the former Kolloid Zeitschrift, now called Colloid and Polymer Science. It is a collection of papers written by experts who contributed to the progress in this field. The papers introduce typical problems associated with systems of nonionic polymers and ionic surfactants, polymers and surfactants of opposite charge, charged polymers and nonionic surfactants, and of surfactant-responsive polymer gels. Papers on mixtures of natural polymers and surfactants, drugs, dyes and other cosolutes are also included. The book is an indispensable tool for physical, surface, polymer and colloid chemists; material scientists; chemical physicists; biochemists and biophysicists; and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
This volume will be summarized on the basis of the topics of Ionic Liquids in the form of chapters and sections. It would be emphasized on the synthesis of ILs of different types, and stabilization of amphiphilic self-assemblies in conventional and newly developed ILs to reveal formulation, physicochemical properties, microstructures, internal dynamics, thermodynamics as well as new possible applications. It covers: Topics of ionic liquid assisted micelles and microemulsions in relation to their fundamental characteristics and theories Development bio-ionic liquids or greener, environment-friendly solvents, and manifold interesting and promising applications of ionic liquid based micelles and micremulsions
This volume focuses on studies on the frontier between colloid and polymer science and reveals the broad diversity of results in this field. The volume contains papers on micellar systems, mesophases, vesicles, surface films, gels, polymer colloids, nanoparticles, colloid crystals, and adsorbents.
