The atomic force microscope (AFM) is not only a tool to image the topography of solid
surfaces at high resolution. It can also be used to measure force-versus-distance curves …

The progresses of understanding of the surfactant adsorption at the hydrophilic solid–liquid
interface from extensive experimental studies are reviewed here. In this respect the kinetic …

Surfactants and their mixtures can drastically change the interfacial properties and hence
are used in many industrial processes such as dispersion/flocculation, flotation …

Until recently, the rapid time scales associated with the formation of an adsorbed surfactant
layer at the solid–aqueous interface has prevented accurate investigation of adsorption …

This article presents a topical review of coarse grain simulation techniques. First, we
motivate these techniques with illustrative examples from biology and materials science …

This unique text discusses the solution self-assembly of block copolymers and covers all
aspects from basic physical chemistry to applications in soft nanotechnology. Recent …

The stability and rheology of tricaprylin oil-in-water emulsions containing a mixture of
surface-active hydrophilic silica nanoparticles and pure nonionic surfactant molecules are …

Nanostructures of polyaniline (PAni) and polypyrrole (PPy) with controlled morphologies
have been synthesized on atomically flat surfaces using adsorbed surfactant molecules as …

Wormhole-like mesoporous walls are observed within macroporous metal oxides that were
synthesized in one step using nonionic alkyl-PEO surfactants as templates. The uniform …

The dynamics of the synthesis of a mesoporous silica material SBA-15 is followed using time-
resolved in situ 1H NMR and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Block copolymer …
