Aqueous polyelectrolyte–surfactant complexes (PESCs) are very rich with respect to their
properties and the structures formed by them. By design they normally contain hydrophobic …

Recent developments in the field of oppositely charged polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes
(PESCs) have been reviewed. Among the many developments in that field in particular very …

Hypothesis: In the last 20 years, it has been demonstrated that oppositely charged
polyelectrolyte-surfactant (PE-S) mixtures are prone to forming kinetically arrested non …

Abstract Polyelectrolyte-surfactant (PE-S) complexes holding liquid crystalline (LC)
structures have been widely studied over the last twenty years due to potential application in …

Self-Consistent Mean-Field Calculations (SCF) have provided a semi-quantitative
description of the physico-chemical behavior of six different polyelectrolyte-surfactant …

A commercially-available weight loss supplement and its main ingredient, chitosan, were
studied to develop mechanistic insight into their mode of action through the in vitro digestion …

Ionic liquids have become one kind of the most promising solvents for self-assembly. The
aggregation behaviours of various surfactants have been studied in numerous ionic liquids …

We used diblock poly (acrylic acid)-b-poly (2-dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate)(PAA-b-
PDMAEMA) polyampholytes to prepare core–shell complexes with ionic surfactants. The …

Lyotropic liquid crystalline phases are widely known to be formed in aqueous surfactant
mixtures. Although the phase behavior of several surfactants has been elucidated in the past …

Polyelectrolyte (PE)/surfactant (S) mixtures play a distinguished role in the efficacy of
shampoos and toiletries primarily due to the deposition of PE/S precipitates on the hair …
