The development of biotechnological protocols based on cationic surfactants is a modern
trend focusing on the fabrication of antimicrobial and bioimaging agents, supramolecular …

Supramolecular surfactants self-aggregate via noncovalent interactions. The process is
rapid and reversible which makes them potentially useful for the design of stimuli-responsive …

Amphiphile adsorption at the air/water interface lowers the surface tension (γ) of the solution.
After a critical surfactant concentration (C), γ becomes constant (with a break in the γ–logC …

The spontaneous preparation of well-defined functional nanoscale systems is very
important, since this formulation process requires additional resources, external supply of …

Here the amphiphilic calix [4] resorcinarenes, which form self-associates in an aqueous
solution but do not exhibit surface activity, are described. Aqueous solutions of calix [4] …

Deep insight of the toxicity of supramolecular systems based on macrocycles is of
fundamental interest because of their importance in biomedical applications. What seems to …

A novel supramolecular system based on calix [4] resorcinarene sulfonatoalkylated at the
lower rim and piperidine-methylated at the upper rim and the cationic surfactant hexadecyl-1 …

A new surfactant–copper (II) complex [Cu (L) Br3](where LBr is 1-cetyl-4-aza-1-
azoniabicyclo [2.2. 2] octane bromide) containing a transition metal in the head group has …

A novel class of self‐assembling nanoparticles is formed with viologen–resorcin [4] arene
cavitands; the association model is strongly controlled by their hydrophobicity. Interestingly …

The present investigations concern the mixed aggregation of anionic surfactant sodium
dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and aminomethylated calix [4] resorcinol (ACR) with ethylsulfonate …
