Characterization of dynamics and internal structure of a mixed-surfactant wormlike micellar system using NMR and rheometry

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used complementary experiments (proton NMR diffusometry and relaxometry, deuterium NMR lineshapes, and rheometry) to construct a comprehensive picture of the microscopic structure of a mixed-surfactant worm-like micellar system composed of a zwitterionic surfactant and an anionic surface in brine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of order parameter fluctuations on the Halperin-Lubensky-Ma first-order transition in superconductors and liquid crystals

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that order parameter fluctuations in a good type-I superconductor or a liquid crystal always increase the size of the first-order transition, and that this behavior is eventually changed when the system crosses over to an inverted-XY critical behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new model system for diffusion NMR studies of concentrated monodisperse and bidisperse colloids.

TL;DR: The colloidal model system developed in this work enables the study of colloidal phase behavior in binary mixtures for different number and size ratios.

Diffusion NMR study of complex formation in membrane-associated peptides

TL;DR: Pulsed-field-gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG-NMR) is used to obtain the true hydrodynamic size of complexes of peptides with sodium dodecyl sulfate SDS micelles and it is found that in order to obtain unambiguous information about the hydrod dynamic size of a peptide-surfactant complex from diffusion measurements, experiments must be carried out at or below [SDS] = 25 mM.

Contrasting the dynamics of elastic and non-elastic deformations across an experimental colloidal Martensitic transition

TL;DR: It is shown that BCO crystallites formed through shear may, remarkably, co-exist with those resulting from local rearrangements within the same sample, and be different from those predominant in an equilibrium crystal.
