Cationic surfactants have gained significant interest since their introduction. Their properties
and adsorption behavior onto different surfaces have driven the development of a plethora …

Polymersomes are polymer-based vesicular shells that form upon hydration of amphiphilic
block copolymers. These high molecular weight amphiphiles impart physicochemical …

Desoxyribosenucleic acid, DNA, and cellulose molecules self-assemble in aqueous
systems. This aggregation is the basis of the important functions of these biological …

Compaction is the process in which a large DNA molecule undergoes a transition between
an elongated conformation and a very compact form. In nature, DNA compaction occurs to …

DNA is a highly charged polyelectrolyte and is prone to associative phase separation driven
by the presence of multivalent cations, charged surfactants, proteins, polymers and colloids …

Mixtures of oppositely charged surfactants, so called catanionic mixtures, are a growing area
of research. These mixtures have been shown to form several different types of surfactant …

Mixed polymer–surfactant systems have been intensively investigated in the last two
decades, with the main focus on surfactant micelles as the surfactant aggregate in …

The stability of DNA in solution and the phase behavior in mixtures with
dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) were investigated. By means of circular …

The compaction and aggregation of DNA induced by cationic surfactants was studied by
dynamic light scattering (DLS). Furthermore, the effect on surfactant-compacted DNA of the …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have become an alternative green solvent for storage and for stability of
DNA. However, an in-depth understanding of binding and molecular interactions between …
