In the present work, we study the shear-induced transformation of polymer-rich lamellar phases into vesicles. The evolution of vesicle size is studied by different scattering techniques, rheology, and microscopy methods. The lamellar phase found in the system D2O/ o-xylene/ Pluronic

The local anaesthetic effect of cationic, anionic, and neutral alkyl amphipathic agents was similarly enhanced in an apparently nonspecific way by circumstances which modulate electrostatic interactions (acidity, modification of charged groups at the sarcolemmal surface by group-specific reagents, or changes
We present a molecular dynamics simulation at 300 K in explicit solvent environment of chloroform of the stoichiometric complex formed by poly(alpha,L-glutamate) and octyltrimethylammonium ions. We observed that the alpha-helix conformation of the polypeptide chain remains stable during a 2-ns
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was separated and recovered using a foam flotation process aided by cationic surfactants. The PFOA removal efficiency was in the following decreasing order: OTAB (C8TAB) > DTAB (C10TAB) > CTAB (C16TAB) > TBAB, which indicates that cationic surfactants with an alkyl chain that

Water-soluble complexes between sodium poly(isoprene-b-methacrylate) (NaIMA) amphiphilic block copolymer micelles and two cationic surfactants with different hydrophobic tail lengths, namely, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTMAB) and octyltrimethylammonium bromide (OTMAB), were prepared by mixing individual aqueous solutions of block copolymers and surfactants. The
