Polyelectrolyte–surfactant systems combine charged polymers and amphiphilic molecules to produce complex behaviours in water, governed primarily by electrostatic attraction and hydrophobic association ...

When two solutions of oppositely charged polymers (polyelectrolytes) are mixed, phase separation occurs and leads to the formation of a polymer-rich phase and a supernatant phase. The precise ...

For years, we've known that a special kind of molecular assembly known as a "polyelectrolyte complex" helps your cells keep themselves organized. These complexes are very good at forming interfaces to ...

Tissue engineering, an emerging field in the area of human health care, combines biology and materials science and engineering to generate products with suitable biochemical and physiochemical ...

Understanding the fundamentals of designing polyelectrolyte coatings, which can be seen as a bio-inspired approach due to chemical sequences that are analogous to proteins at a molecular level, ...

The zeta potential of polyethylenimine (PEI) is measured as a function of polymer concentration with the SZ-100 Nanoparticle Analyzer. There is a negative relationship between Zeta potential and ...
