Boundary Lubrication Performance of Polyelectrolyte–Surfactant Complexes on Biomimetic Surfaces

E Weiand, PH Koenig, F Rodriguez-Ropero, Y Roiter… - Langmuir, 2024 - ACS Publications
Aqueous mixtures of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and surfactants are useful in many
industrial applications, such as shampoos and hair conditioners. In this work, we investigate …

Effects of surfactant adsorption on the wettability and friction of biomimetic surfaces

E Weiand, F Rodriguez-Ropero, Y Roiter… - Physical Chemistry …, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
The properties of solid–liquid interfaces can be markedly altered by surfactant adsorption.
Here, we use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the adsorption of ionic …

Effect of polymer architecture on the adsorption and coating stability on heterogeneous biomimetic surfaces
