This article discusses new concepts in macroscopically monophasic colloidal systems,
where entropy is a major driving force for very subtle interactions and structuring. First, we …

Colloid supported lipid bilayers (CSLBs) are highly appealing building blocks for functional
colloids. In this contribution, we critically evaluate the impact on lipid ordering and CSLB …

Surfactants and surfactant-like amphiphilic polymers play important roles in many industrial
processes (eg, home and personal care, laundry, paints and coatings, and …

Abstract pH-responsive micelles can efficiently encapsulate and deliver hydrophobic drugs
with an “on-demand” release at target sites due to the ionization of their functional groups …

SN-38 is the active metabolite of irinotecan, an FDA-approved chemotherapeutic agent
indicated in colorectal carcinoma; however, its clinical applications are still challenging due …

In recent years, anionic surfactants have commonly been used in the industrial and domestic
fields, household agents, and personal care products. Traditionally, measurement of …

In this contribution, we investigate the effect of the type of counterion on the properties of
dilute solutions of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether carboxylic acids. Two different surfactants …

The present study was undertaken to unveil the self-assembly of a polyoxyethylene alkyl
ether carboxylic acids based nonionic amphiphile known as Akypo® RO90 VG (hereafter …

Industrial and household products, such as paints, inks and cosmetics usually consist of
mixtures of macromolecules that are disperse in composition, in size and in monomer …
