  2. 1. Adsorption of nonionic amphiphiles to solid surfaces

    Author : Johanna Brinck; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; silica; solubilisation; self assembly; ellipsometry; mixed micelles; surfactant; kinetics; Adsorption; desorption; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : In this study, the adsorption of nonionic amphiphiles from aqueous solutions to solid, planar surfaces is investigated using null ellipsometry. This technique allows independent measurements of the amounts adsorbed at the surface and of the mean optical thickness of the adsorbed layer. READ MORE

  4. 2. Adsorption at the Solid-Liquid Interface: An Atomic Force Microscopy Study

    Author : Lachlan M Grant; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; hydrophobicity.; self-assembly; aggregate geometry; atomic force microscopy; nonionic; adsorption; surfactant; Fysikalisk kemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate nature of adsorption of amphiphiles to the solid–liquid interface. The surface aggregate structures of the zwitterionic surfactant dodecyldimethylammoniopropanesulfonate, (DDAPS) and a series of nonionic polyoxyethlylene glycol alkyl ethers (C10E5, C12E5, C12E8, C10E6, C14E6 and C16E6) have been determined by Atomic Force Microscopy on solids of different hydrophobicity.

  5. 3. Development of new nanomaterials syntheses for mesostructured TiO2 and SiO2

    Author : Erik Nilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; X-ray diffraction; microemulsion synthesis; silica; high-resolution electron microscopy; gelation; nonionic amphiphiles; EISA; titania; mesostructured; waterglass;

    Abstract : Mesostructured materials is a class of materials within the concept nanomaterials andcharacterized by structural features on the length scale 2-50 nm. This group of materials isinteresting for several applications such as, membrane and separation technology, heterogeneouscatalysis, controlled release, adsorption of pollutants, solar energy conversion, electrode materialsetc. READ MORE

  6. 4. Association of Amphiphiles and Polyelectrolytes with DNA

    Author : Yulia S Mel'nikova; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; cryo-TEM; SAXS; fluorescence microscopy; DNA condensation; DNA-polyelectrolyte; DNA- amphiphile interactions; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : DNA- cationic amphiphile and DNA-cationic polymer systems were studied with respect to the intermolecular interactions, as well as structure and stability of formed complexes. The thesis is divided in two parts: one section is a summary and the other section contains five papers. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular associations and transport properties of amphiphiles and gastrointestinal mucin in aqueous solution

    Author : Géraldine Lafitte; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysikalisk kemi; transport properties; diffusion NMR; Magnetic resonance imaging; Physical chemistry; hydrophobic association; electrostatic repulsion; gel; Mucin; Surfactant;

    Abstract : An effective uptake/absorption of drug formulations involve many processes; one being the transport of the active molecule through the mucus layer. The mucus layer is a complex mixture of biological molecules. Among them, mucin is the molecule that mainly provides the gel properties of the layer. READ MORE
