This contribution critically reviews the state of knowledge on interactions of natural colloids
and engineered nanoparticles with natural dissolved organic materials (DOM). These …

This article recapitulates the state of the art regarding simulations of ionization equilibria of
weak polyelectrolyte solutions and gels. We start out by reviewing the essential …

We synthesized three different polyzwitterions─ poly (N, N-diallyl glutamate)(PDAGA), poly
(dehydroalanine)(PDha), and poly (2-(imidazol-1-yl) acrylic acid)(PImAA)─ and investigated …

This chapter reviews the recent progress in aggregation of colloidal particles with long-
range interactions, including simple colloids and polyelectrolytes. The relevant interactions …

Peptides containing amino acids with ionisable side chains represent a typical example of
weak ampholytes, that is, molecules with multiple titratable acid and base groups, which …

What are the fundamental laws for the adsorption of charged polymers onto oppositely
charged surfaces, for convex, planar, and concave geometries? This question is at the heart …

Complexation between multiple weak polyacid chains and a positively charged spherical
nanoparticle has been studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. By considering titration …

The complexation between a charged nanoparticle and an oppositely charged linear
polyelectrolyte is studied using coarse-grained Semi-Grand Canonical Monte Carlo …

Based on extensive Monte Carlo simulations and analytical considerations we study the
electrostatically driven adsorption of flexible polyelectrolyte chains onto charged Janus …

Surface functionalization with end-tethered weak polyelectrolytes (PE) is a versatile way to
modify and control surface properties, given their ability to alter their degree of charge …
