Cellulose is the most abundant polymer and a very important renewable resource. Since
cellulose cannot be shaped by melting, a major route for its use for novel materials, new …

The understanding of the deposition of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes-surfactant
mixtures onto solid surfaces presents a high interest in current days due to the recognized …

Investigations dealing with fundamental aspects of the interaction between covalently cross-
linked polyelectrolyte gels and oppositely charged surfactants are reviewed. For reference, a …

The cross-linking process of two cationic hydroxyethylcelluloses of different hydroxyethyl
and ammonium group contents, polyquaternium-4 (PQ-4) and polyquaternium-10 (PQ-10) …

The interaction between Tween 80 and Pluronic F-127 with carbopol in water was studied
as a function of surfactant concentration. 0.25% carbopol microgels dispersions showed a …

We developed a novel two-dimensional (2-D) crystalline colloidal array photonic crystal
sensing material for the visual detection of amphiphilic molecules in water. A close-packed …

Surfactant research explores the forces responsible for surfactant assembly and the critical
industrial, medical, and personal applications, including viscosity control, microelectronics …

Force measurement between emulsion droplets in the presence of a neutral polymer, poly
(vinyl alcohol), and an ionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate, reveals that the interaction …

We examined coadsorption from mixtures of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate
(SDS) with either hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) or hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl …

The effects of nine different anionic and cationic micelle-forming surfactants on the viscosity
and viscoelasticity of semidilute solutions of hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl cellulose …
