1. Self-Assembling Surfactant Aggregates for Synthesis of Nanomaterials
Abstract : The main objective of this thesis was to study how surfactant assemblies can be used as templates to form inorganic nanomaterials. Both water-in-oil microemulsions and liquid crystalline phases have been used as structure directing agents. READ MORE

2. Association and Microstructure in Self-Assembling Catanionic Systems
Abstract : This thesis addresses the phase behavior and phase structure in mixed surfactant-surfactant and surfactant-polymer systems, where the co-solutes have opposite charges (catanionic systems). The initial goal has been to investigate self-assembly aspects in mixtures of single-/double-chained surfactants and bile salt/double-chained surfactants, with the main focus on vesicle assembly in dilute regions.

3. Effects of polymeric surfactants on the crystallisation of inorganic materials
Abstract : This thesis concerns effects of polymeric surfactants on the crystal growth of inorganic structures. The crystal growth of calcium carbonate on steel surfaces was studied with a heat exchanger cell and with an electrochemical method. READ MORE

4. Microgels as drug delivery vehicles : loading and release of amphiphilic drugs
Abstract : Polyelectrolyte microgels are used as delivery vehicles for amphiphilic drugs in, e.g., treatments of liver cancer by a method called trans-arterial chemoembolization. READ MORE
