TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the phase behavior of monoolein, one of the most important lipids in the fields of drug delivery, emulsion stabilization and protein crystallization is presented.

TL;DR: Of particular note is the adsorption of SDS onto the silica nanoparticles, which leads to supercharging of the interface, which has interesting repercussions for structures obtained by the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique, because emulsions stabilized with supercharged and hydrophobized silica are perfect candidates for use in a multilayer system.

TL;DR: The cell model traditionally used for the evaluation of the electrokinetic properties of concentrated suspensions can be modified to include the case of soft particles, that is, particles consisting of a rigid core and a polyelectrolyte membrane.

TL;DR: An extremely strong effect is found: the double layer capacitance is maximum for a certain value of the surface potential, a consequence of the limited ionic concentration at the particle-solution interface imposed by the finite size of ions, and leads to the presence of two potential ranges.

TL;DR: A method for the production of clean, renewable electrical energy from the exchange of solutions with different salinities based on the electrokinetic theory of soft particles, which proves to be a fruitful and simple approach to salinity-gradient energy production.
