In the year of 2019, we celebrate the centenary of the publication of the remarkable paper by
Otto Stern and Max Volmer concerning the kinetics analysis of fluorescence quenching …

Chitin is the second most important natural polymer in the world. The main sources exploited
are two marine crustaceans, shrimp and crabs. Our objective is to appraise the state of the …

Low-dimensional semiconductor structures, often referred to as nanocrystals or quantum
dots, exhibit fascinating behavior and have a multitude of potential applications, especially …

Because of its unique properties, water drives many natural and biological processes. While
a detailed understanding of its precise role is still being unravelled, it is clear that the …

The systematic description of the complex photophysical behaviour of pyrene in surfactant
solutions in combination with a quantitative model for the surfactant concentrations …

Self aggregation of the ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [C4mim][Cl], 3-
methyl-1-octylimidazolium chloride [C8mim][Cl], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium …

A series of alkanediyl-a,< u-bis (dimethylalkylammoniumbromide) surfactants, referred to as
dimeric msm surfactants (where m and s are the carbon numbers of the side alkyl chains …

The surfactants cesium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, tetrapropylammonium
and tetrabutylammonium dodecyl sulfates (CsDS, TMADS, TEADS, TPADS, and TBADS) …

In this review we present the application of fluorescence techniques to study polymer-
surfactant systems, discussing the various methods and materials in use. In the first section …

Dynamics of Surfactant Self-Assemblies explains the dynamics of micellar equilibria,
tracking surfactant exchange, and micelle formation/breakdown processes. Highlighting the …
