Although worm-like micelles have been studied for over 20 years, the diversity of
macroscopic behavior and the potential analogy to polyelectrolytes has driven continued …

High-sensitivity flexible sensors have broad applications, but their cross-sensitivity to
temperature variations and deformations often results in unwanted signal interference …

The self-assembling structures and dynamics of surfactants determine most of their
macroscopic physicochemical properties and performances. Herein, we review recent work …

We present herein a study on the adsorption of anionic (SDS), cationic (CTAB), and nonionic
(C12E5) surfactants onto anionic silica nanoparticles. The effects of this adsorption are …

Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers based on lipid self-assemblies have the potential to provide
targeted delivery of antimicrobial peptides, limiting their side effects while protecting them …

Oil–water Pickering emulsions of about 200 nm were stabilized by nanosized hydrophilic
silica after a simple surface treatment method. We have modified the aqueous silica …

Carbon nanostructures-silica aerogel composites were synthesized and characterized to
assess the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or graphene oxide (GO) on the silica aerogel …

The generalized indirect Fourier transformation (GIFT) technique is a versatile tool for the
evaluation of small angle scattering data. It does not depend on models for the size and …

The beak of the Humboldt squid is a biocomposite material made solely of organic
components–chitin and proteins–which exhibits 200-fold stiffness and hardness gradients …

A series of supported Rh/γ-Al2O3 catalysts with an overall metal loading of 0.005 wt% was
synthesized by impregnation of γ-Al2O3 with a toluene solution containing colloidally …
