1. Amphiphilic Molecules in Aqueous Solution
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate amphiphilic molecules in aqueous solution. The work was divided into two parts. In the first part the effects of different counterions on phase behavior was investigated, while the second part concerns the 1-monooleoyl-rac-glycerol (MO)/n-octyl-β-D-glucoside (OG)/2H2O-system.

2. Catanionic Surfactant Mixtures and Binary Systems of Modified Fatty Acid Surfactants. Phase Equilibria and Structure
Abstract : Surfactant self-assembly is an important phenomenon that occurs in a number of processes in our everyday life. It is important to understand the forces and parameters that control and influence the self-assembly, as this knowledge can be used both in order to design surfactant systems with desired properties and for creating model systems, for example for biological processes.

3. Alkylglucosides - physical chemical properties
Abstract : The aim of this study is to characterise the physical-chemical properties of alkylglucosides. Alkylglucosides are non-ionic surfactants synthesized from glucose and a fatty alcohol. The glucose molecule constitutes the hydrophilic head group and the fatty alcohol constitutes the hydrophobic tail. READ MORE

4. Membrane Orientation Studies with Polarized Light Spectroscopy
Abstract : Lipid vesicles are versatile tools in modern biophysical science. They can be used as models of the cell membrane, to examine permeability, stability and behavior of molecules in the bilayer. They may act as transporters in a pharmacological context, designed to deliver their cargo to a certain place in the patient. READ MORE

5. Developing novel diffusion MRI methods for comprehensive analysis of restricted and anisotropic self-diffusion system
Abstract : Diffusion MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique used to study the microstructural properties of biological tissues by observing the self-diffusion of water molecules. Traditional diffusion MRI methods, based on the pulsed gradient spin-echo sequence, employ magnetic field gradients to encode information about translational motion. READ MORE
