The structure, dynamics and transport behaviors of microemulsions are physicochemically
unique and need exploration for basic understanding of their formation, state of aggregation …

Polymers attached by one end to an interface at relatively high coverage stretch away from
the interface to avoid overlapping, forming a polymer" brush." This simple picture may serve …

Understanding the structural and thermodynamic properties of surfaces, interfaces, and
membranes is important for both fundamental and practical reasons. Important applications …

In this feature article, syntheses of nanosized particles by using colloidal assemblies as a
template are described. We asked ourselves the following question: What parameters play a …

From simple micelles in water, nearly spherical aggregates of amphiphilic molecules, to
bicontinuous microemulsions, oil and water microheterogeneous mixtures stabilised by a …

This book gives a comprehensive description of the physical properties of lyotropic liquid
crystals. Structural features, phase transitions and phase diagrams are discussed in detail …

The progress in understanding microemulsion structure on a molecular level as well as from
extensive experimental studies of phase diagrams is reviewed. In this respect the studies …

Water-in-oil microemulsions have been used for the synthesis of a variety of nanoparticles
since the technique was first introduced in 1982. In this paper we have reviewed several …

A model, previously introduced to describe the linear dynamics of entangled, reversibly
breakable polymers, is extended to describe nonlinear effects. This extension of the model …
