Control of size, charge, morphological characteristics, stability and functional activity of
practically important compounds is of particular interest. Two classes of amphiphiles …

Molecular simulation plays an increasingly important role in studying the properties of
complex fluid systems containing charges, such as ions, piezoelectric materials, ionic …

Surfactant injections in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) are very efficient, lowering the oil-water
interfacial tension (IFT) and altering rocks wettability. Although efficient, surfactant injection …

BP100 is a short antimicrobial peptide and can also act as a molecule-carrier into cells. Like
with other antimicrobial peptides, the precise mechanism of membrane disruption is not fully …

Salt induced micelle-to-vesicle transitions of ionic surfactants depend on the surfactant chain
length, headgroup structure, counterion type and concentration, but the interfacial molarities …

The present study highlights the effect of aromatic salt ie sodium benzoate (NaBz) at fix
concentration (1 mM), on the micellization behavior of four amide functionalized surface …

Surface pressure is a fundamental thermodynamic property related to the activity of
molecules at interfaces. In molecular simulations, it is typically calculated from its definition …

Specific ion effects in zwitterionic micelles, especially for anions, are evident in reaction
kinetics, zeta potential, and critical micelle concentration measurements. However, anion …

In a large variety of organisms, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are primary defenses against
pathogens. BP100 (KKLFKKILKYL-NH2), a short, synthetic, cationic AMP, is active against …

Zwitterionic micelles adsorb anions and several techniques were used to determine the
specificity of this interaction. Although at a lower intensity, this adsorption can be compared …
